Misha Henley

“We Stand Up For You®, so you can Stand Up for those you love."

- Christopher H. Roberts

I know firsthand what it feels like to lose a loved one due to a car accident. During that time, I wish my family and I knew what our options were. Now I’ve made it my mission to help guide families through similar situations and to help those in need. Being a part of CR Legal Teamallows me to Stand Up for clients going through difficult times and to be someone they can count on to act as a fierce advocate when it matters most.

Bio

Misha Henley is a personal injury attorney dedicated to providing excellent service and solutions for clients navigating their personal injury claims. Her practice focuses on cases involving serious bodily injury from automobile accidents including commercial motor vehicles and premise liability cases.

Misha grew up in Kernersville, North Carolina and moved to Greensboro where she attended The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. Falling in love with the Greensboro area, Misha decided to stay and attend law school at Elon University School of Law. While at Elon University School of Law she earned her Juris Doctor and served as the membership editor for the Elon Law Review and President of the Black Law Students Association. During her time at Elon Law, Misha was selected to participate in the North Carolina Bar Association’s Minorities in the Profession Committee 1L Summer Associate Program. While her experience ranges from multiple Fortune 500 companies including a major apparel company and a top global pharmaceutical company, Misha missed connecting with clients on a deeper level. She also missed making an impact in her community through advocating for those from underrepresented communities and advocating for those who may not be as familiar with the legal process.

When she is not in the office, Misha enjoys playing tennis, shopping, and spending time with her fiancé, Andrew Carter, along with their miniature poodle, Coco Chanel.

The Personal Injury Lawyers

Who'd Rather You Never Need Them

Kimberly and I met in 1992 as kindred spirits, both drawn to the idea of building something larger than ourselves—an extension of our family committed to serving others. We married in 1994, while I was practicing law, and Kimberly worked in healthcare consulting. We thought we understood how the legal system worked. Then September 19, 1995 changed everything.

It’s the worst possible situation to be in after a serious injury. I’m sitting across from a guy who’s supposed to be one of the better traumatic brain injury lawyers, but I’m realizing he doesn’t understand what Kimberly and I are going through!

I got hit by a tractor-trailer just two months before. My wife Kimberly—nineteen weeks pregnant with our first child—has had to watch me deal with personality changes, possible lifelong symptoms, and terrifying fears of our family's future.

What makes it all worse is the fact that I am a lawyer with years of experience, and yet even I can’t get the kind of representation we desperately need. It’s a scary situation.

I grew up in Charlotte. My mother was a teacher, my father a manager working with blue-collar contractors. My parents instilled in me a simple principle: stand up for people who can’t stand up for themselves. Becoming an Eagle Scout reinforced it.

Kimberly grew up in Rockingham, a small North Carolina community. Her parents, a nurse and a salesman, also instilled the importance of community service. Sunday mornings singing in youth prison ministry, working with rehabilitation centers, partnering with local organizations – all part of Kimberly’s youth and what shaped her heart.

My brain injury accident showed us that even being on the inside of the legal profession didn’t protect us from getting poor representation. Our lawyer didn’t really serve us well because he couldn’t put himself in our shoes.

After my personal injury, I knew exactly what kind of lawyer I wanted to be:

someone who truly understands what clients are going through because I've been there myself. Kimberly joined me, bringing her healthcare background and passion for wellness. We built our practice around a simple idea—we don't just handle your case, we understand your whole journey, and we prepare you for it.

Today we’ve been in business for 35 years and we’ve recovered billions of dollars for our clients, but more importantly, we’ve advanced our services to what we call “whole person legal care.” We don’t just fight for financial recovery—we address the physical, emotional, and mental needs that make up a whole person. We prepare people before accidents happen through safety education. We stand beside them during their recovery. And we help them figure out where to go when their time with us is done.

What drives us is knowing that if you know better, you have to do better. Through our Roberts Center, we give away thousands of bicycle helmets, teach CPR, provide scholarships, and run safety programs in schools because we’d rather prevent accidents happening to your family than litigate them.
