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, Robert C. McCarthy Jr., joined the agency after graduating from Lehigh University. For the past 53 years, through thousands of projects in various economic cycles, the McCarthy Agency has provided surety services and products nationwide with a heavy focus on our core customer base in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Florida. In 2021, Robbie and Adam Hofmann acquired the newly named McCarthy Hofmann Agency to carry the McCarthy legacy into the future. The McCarthy Hofmann Agency works with the leading surety companies and continues to support our client base with excellence.
