With more than fifty years of proven
success in and out of the courtroom,
Leahey & Johnson, P.C., is the
preeminent trial and appellate law
firm in New York City.

Since its founding in 1953 by the late Judge Joseph M. Leahey and
Peter James Johnson, the law firm has evolved into a performance-oriented,
standard-setting specialist in trials and appeals of tort, commercial and cor-
porate matters throughout the greater New York Metropolitan area. The firm’s
many achievements have earned Leahey & Johnson the highest possible rating
(“AV”) from Martindale Hubbell – a distinction shared by its founding and
managing members, Peter James Johnson and Peter James Johnson, Jr.
respectively.

Leahey & Johnson offers its clients a breadth of expertise and an unparalleled
record of success in trials and appeals of all matters, including:

• General liability
• Commercial, business and corporate litigation
• Complex and catastrophe litigation
• Insurance coverage and litigation
• Product, medical and life sciences liability
• Work place, labor law and premises liability
• Entertainment and media litigation
• Employment, not-for-profit, church and cemetery liability and litigation
• Workers’ compensation

With a floor of offices at 120 Wall Street and a diverse, energetic legal staff
comprised of twenty-five attorneys, Leahey & Johnson is big enough to get the job
done, but not so big that our clients get lost in the thicket of cases that larger
firms take on. We offer dedication to success and an unswerving commitment
to personal service and loyalty to our clients, and we pride ourselves on a
quick response to their needs.

These are just some of the qualities that have made Leahey & Johnson synony-
mous with winning in the courtroom. We are proud to again be named in
The Best Lawyers in America, having earned that distinction every year since
the volume was first published.
