Our History

After gaining 17 years of experience working for various surety companies, Robert C. McCarthy utilized his expertise to establish the Robert McCarthy Agency on April 1st, 1969. In the summer of 1975, his son and our current president, Robert C. McCarthy Jr., joined the agency after graduating from Lehigh University. For the past 53 years, the McCarthy Agency has provided surety services and products in Western Pennsylvania, Northeast Ohio, and Northern West Virginia through thousands of projects in various economic cycles. In 2021, Adam C. Hofmann joined the agency to carry the McCarthy legacy into the future. We work with leading surety companies, including Zurich, CNA, Chubb, Westfield, and Travelers. The McCarthy Hofmann Agency continues to support our client base with excellence.
