HORNSBY FAMILY – HISTORY OF LEGAL EXCELLENCE
The Hornsby family has served the legal needs of Central Floridians for more than 75 years. James Russell Hornsby, a prominent attorney from the 1950s until his death in 1986, paved the way for the Hornsby Law legacy. His son, Lawrence Hornsby, continued that tradition in 1973 when he established his own practice, Hornsby Law, focusing on representing individuals suffering injuries as a result of another's negligence.
Today, the Hornsby legal name remains strong in Central Florida with Lawrence's son Hank Hornsby continuing the tradition — representing individuals injured in car and work accidents, as well as those who have suffered financial losses as a result of fraudulent or negligent investment advice. In addition, Richard Hornsby, the youngest son of James Russell Hornsby, has become a prominent criminal defense attorney in Orlando, further continuing the legacy of Hornsbys representing the citizens of Central Florida.

A good experience
My case was difficult but Bonnie Ramos and her associates were knowledgeable, persistent and responsive and the case was settled successfully. Bonnie shielded me from all of the unpleasant under-currents and was there for me whenever I had questions.

Great job!
I was hit by a Ford F-250 from behind. My lower back was herniated and I was in a lot of pain. Bonnie Romos was my case worker and she kept me up to date every step of the way. I had to have multiple steroid shots in my back and it was very painful. She was able to negotiate my medical bills and ...

Thank You!
Hank, Bonnie, and the rest of the staff were great! Despite my difficult situation, they were able to maximize the amount, so I would end up with some money for my future medical issues. They always answered all my questions and have even offered to help me find a neurosurgeon.

Hire Hank Hornsby!
Hank and Bonnie were worth their weight in gold to me and my case. My experience as a Client at Hornsby Law is extremely positive from the very beginning phone call to Angel at the front desk, to closing everything out months later, they were on top of everything every step of the way.

Fantastic Lawyer !
No it's not an oxymoron. Hank is truly a professional and knows exactly what he's doing. He's personable and upfront. I was kept abreast of what was going on. And he absolutely was vested in my best interest. He proved to be a genuine one-of-a-kind person in the end. Bonnie and Angel are both sweethe...
"Lawrence is an excellent attorney committed to providing the highest quality representation to clients. I endorse this attorney without reservation."
"Hank Hornsby is an excellent lawyer and very dedicated to his clients. I have seen him achieve amazing results in some very difficult cases. He is thoughtful, well-spoken, and takes the time to truly understand each client. I recommend Hank to anyone seeking an attorney to evaluate their personal injury claim."

Securities and investment fraud lawyer | Aug 21
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I've worked with Hank on very complex "David & Goliath" litigation in the commercial and securities fraud arenas. He's a Stetson Law School graduate, which is consistently ranked as the best law school in the country for trial advocacy. He started his career at Greenberg Traurig, where you don't get hired unless you're very bright. He is extremely competent, hard-working, and principled. Don't be fooled by these numerical ratings. The idea these companies rate a lawyer in the 6 to 7 out of 10 range because the lawyer doesn't subscribe to their business model or become an active member is ludicrous and deceptive to me as a trial lawyer of 30 years with a national reputation. It's also unlawfully defamatory and/or disparaging of a truly competent lawyer like Hank because the impression is these other lawyers with higher numerical ratings must be better. That's simply untrue. These companies are treading on thin ice legally and it's a cause I might just take on personally to prove that."
"I strongly endorse Hank. He is an outstanding attorney with an exceptional reputation in the white collar arena of securities and investment fraud. He is a strong and zealous advocate for his clients and a credit to our family's long legal legacy. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of his unique legal skill set."
