I hired Mr. Hornsby to assist me with my 18-year-old son's case after he was charged with battery against a "licensed security officer" at Bounce House Social in Orlando. From the beginning, I was determined to take the case to trial and not accept a diversion program. I firmly believe that the Orange County Sheriff's Office failed to properly investigate the incident before arresting my son, who does not reside permanently in Florida. After collaborating with Mr. Hornsby, within two weeks of my son's arrest the State dismissed the case and now we're onto the expungement process. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From our first consultation, Mr. Hornsby was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. His communication style is very blunt and direct -- something I personally appreciated. As a Marine with 13 years of active duty, I'm used to that kind of straightforward approach, and it made me feel confident that I was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Mr. Hornsby to anyone in need of legal help. His expertise and professionalism truly sets him apart. read more

Attorney Hornsby represented me in a jury trial. If you are looking for someone to hold you hand and encourage you throughout the process, go hire a therapist. He will not be your friend but will represent you like few can do. He knows the law and will get you the best possible result. My case went to trial. He took command in the court room. He was never lost in his notes. He knew exactly what he was doing and could refer to documents without any hesitation. He crucified the prosecutor! My previous profession required me to analyze the speaking ability of individuals that we might hire. I know speaking talent when I see it. Both his opening and closing statements were punctuated with appropriate illustrations. In fact in the closing statement he was actually on the floor giving the jury an animated picture of why the charge was ridiculous. He even dropped his phone on the courtroom floor to illustrate a point. (I hope his phone was not damaged). His statements ran the range of emotions and most importantly connected with the jury because he came across as genuine. The prosecutor came across as a robot. I hope that I never need another lawyer the rest of my life. But if I lived in Central Florida, he is the only lawyer that I would consider. read more

We would give Mr. Hornsby 6 stars if we could! A young family member was arrested while vacationing in Florida. We selected Mr. Hornsby to defend him based on the reviews that were posted by other clients as we were not in Florida when he was arrested and charged. Mr. Hornsby walked us through the process including how to arrange bail by "long distance". The person was released and returned home. Mr. Hornsby worked diligently on our case especially after the charges were upgraded from a misdemeanor to a felony. Mr. Hornsby got all the charges dismissed completely without having to return to Florida. He is now working to get the charges expunged so our family member will not have a criminal record of any type. Words cannot express how satisfied we are with the outcome... and it is due solely to Mr. Hornsby's hard work and dedication to the situation our family faced. Without him we believe our family member would have had more than just a blemish on his record...it would have been life changing for a recent college graduate. We cannot thank Mr. Hornsby enough for his expertise and judgement in how our case was handled. Outstanding job! read more

Outstanding attorney, gets results; see for yourself! Very pleased with his work!

Mr Hornsby does not tell you what you want to hear. He tells you your best legal strategy, then executes it. If you are looking to tell a lawyer how to do his job, this is not the lawyer for you. We are extremely pleased with the outcome from a recent case and would recommend Mr Hornsby to anyone in need of legal representation. read more

I'm catching up on all of my reviews and Richard Hornsby definitely offers one of those services which have helped a great deal with some of those things that happen unexpectedly. When calling Mr. Hornsby for his legal opinion you'll definitely receive his honest opinion, an opinion you can definitely trust and rely on. Or you'll receive a reference to an expert qualified to handle your specific situation. I have had Mr. Hornsby handle some minor issues for us, but he has handled some very severe infractions for referrals I've sent his way with excellent results. I have been in positions where I was seeking counsel, many offices don't return calls even after promising to, your case isn't serious enough, or is too difficult. I never felt shrugged off by his offices and he seemed to be very available to speak to directly. read more

I called an attorney from the Orlando area to inquire about record sealing. I started my conversation off with "do u know if u can seal criminal records in the state of Florida" the answer was yes, I then said "do u know what the statutory time limit is if convicted of a misdo." The jerk on the phone goes "of course I know, I'm an attorney" Alright, typically attorneys don't answer the phone, this was rude but I continued on. I asked if it needed to go in front of a judge for a hearing, the man I was speaking to was extremely rude and said it's not something someone can do without an attorney. I informed him that I seal criminal records in Nevada professionally and just wanted to know if a hearing was needed or if it was paperwork that was submitted and done without a hearing (that's how it typically works in Nevada) he was extremely rude, wouldn't answer my questions and asked if I was looking to hire an attorney. I said yes, and asked what his rates were and he told me he wasn't interested in sealing my records. Alright, so if u don't want to give out information over th phone, that's fine.. But this guy handled my call In a n extremely unprofessional manner and theres no way I would ever hire hi m to do any work for me. Very unprofessional. Doesn't seem to care about the people, just the money..l then when is wanted a quote he wasn't interested. Learn some people skills buddy. read more
