About Brian Richard
Brian Richard Henzel took a straightforward academic route into the law. He completed a Bachelor of Arts in political science at the University of Michigan in 1992. He then attended Albany Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor in 1999. Those formative years established a foundation in legal study and analysis that would shape his subsequent practice in New York.
After law school, Henzel entered the legal profession in New York. Public records list New York among the jurisdictions where he is authorized to practice. Over time he has worked on matters that require familiarity with state rules, court procedures and regulatory frameworks. His background in political science informs his approach to statutory interpretation and to the institutional context of legal issues.
Henzel’s career has involved steady practice rather than public-facing scholarship. He has remained anchored to the New York legal environment, where he has handled client matters and court work typical of a state-licensed attorney. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and attentive to procedural detail. In chamber conferences and hearings, he relies on clear organization and on drawing directly from statutory language and precedent.
Today, Henzel continues to practice law in New York. He represents clients in matters governed by New York law and regularly appears in state forums where licensure permits. His current practice centers on advising and advocating for individuals and entities under the laws and procedures of New York.
