About Michael D Horn, Esq.

25 Years of Experience Litigating Over 1,000 Cases...

With 25 years of experience advocating for over 1,000 individuals in courts all over New York, I have been protecting clients against over-eager government prosecutors, false allegations and police abuse. When charges are brought against you by the police, FBI or a prosecutor, I understand the severity of your situation and the undue anxiety you are facing. As your counsel, I will take every legal action possible to alleviate your problem.

Why I'm Galvanized To Protect Your Rights, My Story...

My personal experience with the law inspired me to become a criminal justice attorney. Just prior to graduating from Vassar College in 1988, I was arrested for a crime I did not commit. I learned during my acquittal process that not everyone who appears before a court is guilty. This belief has endured and became my motivation to seek justice. My goal is to ensure that your constitutional rights are respected, every possible defense is investigated and all avenues of mitigation or justification are presented.

My Background...

I attended Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in Manhattan where I privately clerked for some of the city's preeminent criminal defense attorneys. Upon graduation, I began working at the Legal Aid Society, Criminal Defense Division in Brooklyn gaining hands-on experience. The vast knowledge and experience I garnered through the years has allowed me to open my own practice specializing in criminal defense where every client is a priority.

Personal Attention, Earns Results...

For the past 25 years, I've handled criminal cases from murder to criminal mischief, drug possession to international smuggling and complex mortgage fraud to petty larceny. Whatever your situation, I will personally discuss your predicament and develop a plan to seek justice.

My combination of knowledge, experience and motivation has resulted in a winning edge for my clients. In drug cases alone, I have earned an impressive 86% success rate - so whether you need a talented trial attorney, an aggressive negotiator or simply need to get arraigned and released, my firm is here to assist you.

Hired Attorney Michael D Horn, Esq.

Michael Horn was my son's attorney in a case that was extremely difficult to defend, however throughout the the entire process Mr. Horn was very clear with me regarding his strategy on winning the case!! Not only did Mr. Horn win the case but the case was dismissed!! I was grateful then and more thankful today to the person that highly recommended Mr. Horn to me!! If you're looking for an amazing attorney to fight for you look no further than Michael Horn!!

Weapons Charges

Hired Attorney Michael D Horn, Esq.

When I met Michael, I was currently working with another lawyer to fight my weapons charge. The lawyer who I had on the case at the time lacked communication and used no forms of case law or legal knowledge to back his positions on why I should take a plea deal. During my first encounter explaining the situation to Michael, there were immediate sparks of ideas and possible legal solutions that could be taken to achieve justice, and it was this enthustiasm and charisma that caused me to hire him that very same day. Michael is very adept with case law and throughout the legal process it showed. From his firm representation skills during oral arguments, to his calm explanatory skills when describing the steps we needed to take moving forward, Michael made the process of achieving the best possible outcome as smooth and fearless as possible. Not only would I recommend Michael as an attorney, but I would trust Michael to represent me any day of the week if my life depended on it.
