About Elissa I. Henry

Elissa Henry is a highly skilled legal professional with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of her clients’ needs. Her passion for advocacy began in 2001 when her father was a victim of negligent driving and spent months in the hospital. During this time, she accompanied him to physical therapy sessions and became involved in his legal case, gaining a firsthand understanding of the devastating impact of accidents on both physical and emotional well-being. This experience led her to make it her life’s mission to advocate and champion for people in similar circumstances.

After graduating from New York Univesity, Elissa honed her skills and developed resilience while serving as a late-night prosecution intern in the Early Case Assessment Bureau of the Kings County District Attorney’s Office during her undergraduate studies. She later moved to Austin, Texas, where she gained valuable transactional law experience as a case manager in a reputable real estate firm. Elissa attended Baylor Law School where she participated in several immigration clinics that served the local community and held the position of associate editor for the Baylor Law Review.
