    With the help of Mr. Hornsby my case came to resolution. He gave me good advice as well as kept me on track when I was falling off track.

    Mr. Hornsby comes from a family of respected attorneys. My minor son was handled for possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana. He had failed out of drug court and was about to be processed through the system. Mr. Hornsby successfully guided us through the process to the best conclusion we would anticipate, court costs and short term probation. Thank you sir.

    Richard Hornsby represented me in a case over the past 2 years. Once I hired Mr. Hornsby things starting getting done. He made himself very familiar with my case and met me on a regular basis to be sure that he had every detail possible.I felt that he was very prepared for my trial and he also had me well prepared.After two long years of having untruthful charges hanging over me, my trial ended in a non-guilty verdict.I am very thankful to Mr.Hornsby for all the time he devoted to me and my case

    Mr. Hornsby represented our son on a felony charge and while the results of the case did not go quite the way we hoped for, I'm sure that without his efforts the outcome could have been much worse. Mr. Hornsby provided regular updates, had great attention for detail, and provided an exceptional level of expertise. In additional to the highest level of expertise we found Mr. Hornsby’s fee to be very and fair reasonable. We were a family in crisis and Mr. Hornsby guided us through the process.

    Mr. Richard Hornsby, PA, has done an exceptional job with my case. Mr. Hornsby was recommended to me by a colleague and I must say the best recommendation I have ever received. I had never been in any trouble with the law and Mr. Hornsby walked me through my case, every step of the way. His professionalism was comforting and his advice and wisdom was exact and true. Mr. Hornsby went above and beyond the expectations that I had for my legal representative.

    Richard Hornsby was a very good lawyer. When my case all the sudden came up after two years nearly following the events that had lead up to it I was confused, lost, and had no clue what I was going to do. Mr Hornsby was referred to me but a lawyer in Georgia who was very good friends with two of my cop friends in Georgia. Being he came highly recommended I scheduled a meeting with him to see about representing me and within the first few minutes I knew he was the absolute right man for the job.

    I received a written arrest for a misdemeanor and was never in this position. I had no idea what to do, what to expect and was frightened about it all. I am a freshman in college and my parents were very anxious as well as they never had to deal with anything like this and didn't know where to start. They found Mr. Hornsby by searching on the internet for criminal attorneys in the area, called a few and were impressed that Mr. Hornsby answered the first call himself. He was extremely helpful.

    Richard represented our son on a felony theft charge. Richard negotiated restitution, got the case dismissed, and kept our son from having a felony conviction. Richard kept us informed of case status over an eight month period, provided clear and reasonable guidance about legal alternatives and costs, and made all court appearances and filings required. The result of avoiding a felony conviction was the best result we could have hoped for. The cost was reasonable given the situation.

    Richard Hornsby is an outstanding attorney who is highly regarded within the criminal justice system. Mr. Hornsby has built a reputation with the State District Attorney's Office that assures his customers of the best possible results up to and including case closure without judgment. I hope that I never again need an attorney but if that situation ever presents itself I will turn to Richard Hornsby without reservation.

    Mr. Hornsby represented me for my case over the the past year. This was been the first time I had a run-in with law, so I had no idea what actions to take nor what to expect, especially being from another state. Mr. Hornsby was able to alleviate me of much stress and was always available to assist with any questions or doubts I may have had. He suggested multiple actions that I could take and offered his opinion on the best option. I chose to enter the Pre-Trial Diversion program for my DUI.

In a bad time of your life, it is nice to know that you have someone who is working hard to get the best results for your case. I highly recommend Mr Hornsby.

    Mr. Hornsby’s knowledge and professionalism are exceptional. From the initial interview, he gave me comfort in knowing that he was well qualified to handle my case. He was able to reassure me in every aspect and actually got me a much better sentence than I expected. He handled every aspect of my case without me ever having to appear in Court and was readily available to answer all my e-mails in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a good criminal attorney.

    Richard Hornsby was able to resolve multiple charges against my son, with a favorable outcome. We had very little knowledge of the criminal justice system and he was very good at explaining the entire process, providing us with options, his recommendations, and what the expected result would be. In the end the results were better than we anticipated. I would highly recommend him.

    I received a charge for petty theft. I called on the services of Richard Hornsby for my defense. At no time did I have any doubt the charges would be dropped as Mr. Hornsby explained to me in detail my defense. Each week he kept me up to date on the status. I highly recommend Mr. Hornsby. He is a winner and a true professional.

    Hornsby was perfectly satisfactory in handling my first offense DUI case. He gave sound advice (including to enter Pretrial Diversion), took care of all legal details, was quickly available in-person or via email, and charges intermediate prices. I only met with him once, never had to go to court myself, and he even got rid of the speeding ticket involved!

    My son was arrested for domestic violence in Orlando, Fl. Being from New York City I knew no lawyers in the Orlando area. I located Mr. Hornsby through lawyers.com and he responded immediately. He helped me post bail, and secure my son's release. He efficiently had the charges against my son dismissed and he kept me informed of the situation.

    I honestly thought my life was over but this man saved my life. If there is anyone I am grateful for it is Richard without him I don't believe I would be free right now. I strongly push for anyone in need of help to go to Richard. I can't fathom how he did it but he said he was going to get me out of the mess I got myself in, I took his word and he proved it. Thank you Richard, for words cannot describe how blessed I am to have you as my fighter, protector, my criminal defense lawyer

    I retained Mr. Hornsby to assist me with clearing up an old criminal case that was still on my record. He was upfront and very direct about the likelihood of success and did not sugarcoat anything. Nevertheless, he was able to clear up the charge and have it completely removed from my record in less than three months. I highly recommend Richard Hornsby to anyone in need of an excellent criminal defense lawyer.
