At the time I was a dumb college student who wasn't thinking. I had never gotten introuble before and was really scared I would have to do jail time. I googled lawyers in Orlando and stumbled apon Mr. Hornsby. I called him right away an explained to him what I did. He ensured me that he would beable to take care of it and quickly went over the game plan which included no jail time, just community service. Not only was Mr. Hornsby very responsive but his assistance we also very helpful. They would take down my information and within 2 hours Mr. Hornsby would call me back to answer any of my questions. Not the cheapest but you definitely pay for what you get, worth every penny. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who gets themselves in legal trouble.

It's official, I just received the letter. Case Dismissed! I retained Mr. Hornsby because he is the only lawyer who gave me any hope of a dismissal. I talked to other lawyers who said I should plead no contest and hope for withheld adjudication. In other words, they didn't want to put any time into my case. Where I work, even withheld adjudication would mean I could lose my job. I wanted someone to DEFEND me. I spent untold hours researching attorneys and he had the best reviews on the internet. But I also looked up his case records on the Orange County Clerk's website to verify his successes and that sold me on him. The only negative comments that I read about him concerned his personality. I never found him to be rude. But, I didn't want a courtroom cream-puff, I wanted someone who wasn't a pushover and would stand up for me. If you're reading this, you're looking for a defense attorney, not a buddy. Do you want a doctor to save your life only if they're a nice guy (or gal)? Personality wouldn't matter to me if I was desperate, and that's how this case made me feel. If you want to feel warm and fuzzy, buy a puppy. If you want the best and most professional lawyer, hire Richard Hornsby. A professional returns calls and emails in a timely manner, provides clear instructions, gives concise information, has very reasonable rates and yields desirable outcomes. That all describes Mr. Hornsby. I felt confident the day I retained him and I am positive the outcome would have been completely different with anyone other than Mr. Hornsby.

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. I had originally started with a different attorney. After a year of being with that attorney I didn't feel that my case was getting as much of his attention. I had read some reviews on Mr. Hornsby and decided to call him. He was very willing to listen to me over the phone and scheduled a meeting with me to discuss my charges. After we met in person he told me that he would take my case. 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. In closing if you are looking for a top criminal lawyer in the Central Florida area I highly recommend you contacting Mr. Hornsby. My family and I will always be grateful to him.

Richard Hornsby did a great job representing my son in a violation of probation case. He was able to get him released with time served. He was patient and quickly responded to questions I had. I am grateful for his knowledge and help.

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. He was straight forward, knowledgeable and got right to the point. He took a lot of stress off my shoulders and did an amazing job trying to get me the best possible outcome. He was always 100% honest with me about everything and even did the work of a prosecutor to find case laws that might be used against me to determine what would be best course of action for us to take. In the end he did everything I wanted him to do and got me the best possible outcome considering all the bull crap we were up against. He got the adjudication withheld in my case, got me only a year probation, and I will definitely be seeking his counsel in a year when I got to get this sealed and off my record because it has no place being there. I wanted to get it dismissed entirely but he told me there was case law that if prosecutor found would prohibit that and would have to risk 50/50 court and harsher punishment possible if other people decided I was guilty and I wasn't risking my fate in other people's hands and let them judge what they had no clue about.

I would highly recommend Mr. Hornsby to anyone seeking criminal defense representation in the Orlando area. I faced a first-degree misdemeanor, and was unsure of where to turn for legal representation. I made several phone calls to attorneys in the Orlando area but Mr. Hornsby was the only attorney who promptly returned my phone call and arranged for a meeting the next day. Not only had another attorney already recommended Mr. Hornsby, but after a meeting in person I was sure he was the best choice for handling my case. Mr. Hornsby took care of everything and exceeded expectations, obtaining a dismissal in my case.
Mr. Hornsby was professional throughout his representation and always kept the lines of communication open. Any criminal matter is a serious situation and I feel confident in recommending Mr. Hornsby to any friends or family in the Orlando area faced with that unfortunate situation.

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 in stating what our options were and explained them in detail. My parents requested his service, they felt the fee was quite reasonable and I contacted him to provide the details of the events that led to my arrest. He was always available to answer any questions and kept us informed. 2 weeks after this happened I received an email from Mr. Hornsby saying the case was dismissed! I am so thankful to him! My parents are very happy with the outcome.

Mr. Hornsby handled the aftermath of my arrest professionally and courteously. His office provided regular contact with updates on my case and he was readily available to answer questions personally if needed. I could not be more pleased with the service I received.

Being in a profession that is constantly in the public eye, I needed someone who is well recognized in the community, also Mr. Hornsby was referred to me by a friend that may have lost his job if not for Mr. Hornsby's representation. I had 3 charges against me with 1 prior, however Mr. Hornsby persuaded the court to drop 2 of the charges with no other restrictions. And that i charge that remained will not show a conviction on my record. Thank you Richard Hornsby!

If you're looking for a criminal lawyer who will get the job done right and keep you informed along the way, definitely hire Richard Hornsby. He is a straight-forward, no B.S. type of guy who will do his best to achieve the best possible outcome for your case. In our initial meeting, he made sure that I understood the seriousness of my case, and he outlined how he anticipated it turning out. (He under-promised and over-delivered). I was extremely satisfied with the results of my case as the outcome was better than we had expected. Another bonus is that he is well-known in the area and well-connected within the judicial system. I REALLY appreciated that he was super-accessible (returns calls and emails in minutes, not days) and constantly kept me updated on the proceedings of my case. You will literally receive hard-copies of all updates mailed to your home so you can keep them on file. Personality-wise, Mr. Hornsby is confident and doesn't sugar-coat. Some may find him intimidating, but I'm sure that works to his advantage in the courtroom. & I did hear him joke once or twice! ;) His rates are very reasonable and he is certainly worth the investment as he will most likely exceed your expectations.

Richard represented our son on a felony theft charge. Richard was successful in negotiating restitution, getting the case dismissed, and keeping our son from having a life-long felony conviction on his record. Richard was recommended by a family friend, was responsive on the phone when we first called, 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 to get our son's case dismissed. Richard was thorough and our son was very effectively represented. The result of avoiding a felony conviction was the best result we could have hoped for. The legal fee cost was reasonable given the situation we faced.
While we hope our son will not need Richard to represent him again in the future, we will certainly hire Richard again if we need criminal legal defense representation. We recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney.

I am going through a tough situation in Highlands County. I called Richard hoping that he would use his expertise to help me with my case. Since he has wored in POLK county I figured it wouldn't be hard for him to take one case in Highlands. He was very rude, and just blatantly didn't want to help me, I tried everything to politely ask him that is was very crucial for me. Even though my case is in Highlands County I felt that an attorney who cares would have tried to help, maybe even call his colleagues to see if he could refer me to someone. This case is crucial to my future. I currently have a case in the court of appeals, so if I get a V.O.P for something coincidental my case in the court of appeals can go down the drain. My goals to finish school and get into a medical program will cease and my future crushed forever.
I didn't hire Richard Hornsby and its sad that he could help. If the Medical Industry functioned like our judicial system we would be in real deep problems.

Went to see Mr. Hornsby on Friday afternoon, and the case was dropped on Wednesday afternoon. Best money I ever spent. I have no idea what he did, and don't really care. All I know is I'm not going to be charged and that's all that matters to me!!

I would definitely recommend Richard Hornsby to anyone seeking representation on any criminal charges. A year ago my husband contacted him about my criminal charges. Mr. Hornsby answered the initial call and he was on my complicated case in no time. I had a criminal felony charges in the different State. He handled the case very professionally and as a result the case was dismissed. I never had to fly to Florida; everything was done through Mr. Hornsby. His quick and professional manner projects confidence. Also, Mr. Hornsby was very informative throughout the process and available when I had questions via email or phone. The fee was less than what I had in mind.

About 5 months ago I needed a lawyer. I called Mr Hornsby and within 15 minutes he returned my call. I told him of my arrest and the criminal charge that was against me. Mr Hornsby asked me to meet with him at his office the next business day. Mr Hornsby was very straight forward and explained in detail possible penalties. He assure me that he will work to get the best possible outcome, I need not worry, just move on with my life. Never having to hire an attorney before, or been in trouble, and having someone telling you not to worry because he will work for you. He was right, within 4 months Mr Hornsby had the charges DISMISSED. Mr Hornsby is an aggressive, confident, knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney. He understand the stress these situation brings and will fight for you and get the best outcome. This man knows his job. He is the BEST in criminal defense. Anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer, look no further, Mr Richard Hornsby is the one. Thank you Mr Hornsby!!

I e-mailed Mr. Hornsby asking about fees for representation. I received a response within 30 minutes of my e-mail. Explained the situation and my finances. He agreed on a very reasonable retainer fee and was willing to work with me on the balance. Within HOURS of hiring him for representation, this case was DISMISSED! Yes, I said dismissed! He kept in contact with me that day and also called me the same evening to tell me that the balance due that we agreed upon would not need to be paid. This was money well spent! He acted quickly and produced results!

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, and he handled all legal details without me having to be present. Upon completion of the program the case was dismissed. He was straight forward and always kept me updated on the current status of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Hornsby.

After interviewing several attorneys to handle my child's case, we decided that Mr Hornsby was the right fit. He was the only attorney that expressed to us that our child's future was his top priority. Having never had to hire an attorney before, we did not know for sure what to look for for our child's representation. Mr. Hornsby meet our expectations and provided us with peace at a time when we needed it.
The end result for our child was one that enabled us to provide him with a future and begin to heal from the traumatic experience.
Thank you Mr. Hornsby for your knowledge, guidance, and experience.

Sometimes no matter how much of a law abiding citizen you are, things can happen in a moment that can completely change your future. I found myself in this situation while trying to help a lifelong friend free her daughter from the clutches of a drug dealer. Add an overzealous police officer and your life can change in a moment. Richard in our initial consultation told me how this would all end up speaking from his experience. He was truthful and the situation ended up just the way he said it would. The outcome was exactly as I had hoped for. Richard Hornsby is an Aggressive Attorney who will fight for you and understands the stress that these situations bring.

Richard Hornsby is truly a talented Criminal Defense attorney that dismissed A-FELONY charge for me, which is unbelievable even now! I spent a total of 5 minutes in the court room, I never had to appear in front of a judge. He is strong and confident, a bulldog is what I say. He is who you want on your side in the court room. His fees are more than reasonable for his services. I fully recommend him 100%.
Posted by Kevin, a Criminal Defense client, Flag
I was arrested and taken to jail for two felony charges and a misdemeanor. I appeared before the judge the following day with one defense attorney that my wife hired that same day. But I was not released on bond from jail due to the two felony charges that were listed as "NO BOND". But within a few days, my wife found Attorney Richard Hornsby (Dbl Board Certified) and arranged for a bond hearing 5 days later. Due to emergency health problems on the way to court from the jail, I could not be present at the bond hearing (though I was required to be there). Attorney Richard Hornsby spoke with the judge handling my case and directed my wife on the stand and with me NOT PRESENT had me bonded out later that same day even though my two felony charges were listed as "NO BOND"! Before I found out that I would be bonded out, the police officers in the jail told me that the bond hearing would have to be rescheduled another day due to my failure to appear in court (because of my health emergency). They had no idea what Attorney Richard Hornbsy could do. No one knows the law better than Attorney Richard Hornsby, and With my charges, I faced up to a "Life in Prison" sentence and more. Attorney Hornsby spoke with the prosecutor reviewing my case very soon after my bond release and one week later, ALL MY CHARGES WERE DISMISSED! If you want the very best in criminal defense, look no further than Richard Hornsby. He puts all his cases online for everyone to see. NO other attorney does that. He was recommended by the first attorney that my wife hired that could not get me bonded out that first day. As I was told, he is the defense attorney's 1st choice for a defense attorney if they needed one! He is the one that will go to court for you and legally "tear up" the prosecutor's witnesses. His approach is extremely aggressive! I believe the other attorney's words were, "Kevin, he is a "Bull Dog" in court". In fact, he was very aggressive concerning my case even before formal charges were ever brought against me! That is why I hired Attorney Richard Hornsby.

I am a resident from out of state and while in FL I was arrested with one of the charges being a felony charge. Now at this point I thought that this issue was going to be a nightmare because I would have to keep traveling back and forth to court and keep missing work. I knew I needed a good lawyer, and I now know I found the best. Mr. Hornsby was amazing from the first call. I called left a message and recieved a call within the hour. Mr Hornsby clearly informed me what he was going to persue and said that I should not have to even attend court, and I never did. Everything he said he was going to do he did and I knew about it every step of the way.

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 made a horrible mistake that lead me to a class A felony and a DUI. I was scared and alone I went to five different lawyers and none of them seemed to even want to help me. I met richard and he was smart,tough, and you can tell that he didn't just want another customer but that he wanted to save me. After thinking my life was over and all negative thoughts controlled my thought process he continuously assured me I was going to okay. I wasn't okay I was in misbelief and thankful this man turned my case. For what I had done it was bad enough to serve five years in jail, he fought it and won. My punishment was six months of probation. People never believe me when they hear the miracle story I speak of him. I was able to keep my license also. Not only did Richard represent me but would make random calls to make sure I had my head on straight. I told Richard my father died the day I met him and he related with me and said he had dealt with the same pain from the lose of his father. He takes pride in his work and takes care of his clients because he is one of the very few that care. I honestly thought my life was over but this man saved my life. If their is anyone I am grateful for it is Richard with out 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 everything words can not described how blessed I am to have you as my fighter, protector, my criminal defense lawyer.

Richard was exactly what I was looking for during a very stressful time in my life. When I was charged with DUI I was in shock and disbelief. Richard answered all my questions, explained my options in detail and allowed me to make the best decision for my unique situation. His attention to detail, knowledge of the law, dedication to my case and ease of contact helped me through the process and ultimately helped guide me to having my case dismissed. I highly recommend him as counsel and have referred him to friends and family.

We had never had a reason to need the services of a criminal lawyer and now were faced with one of the most important family decisions of our life. How do you pick the right lawyer to represent you? Who do you put your trust in?
To us, it was important to find someone who had experience and was knowledgeable, thorough, and trustworthy. In our search on the web, Richard was the one who in our minds stood out above the others. This was confirmed when we met with him in person.
We left Florida and returned home stressed to be involved in this mess, but comforted somewhat knowing that we had the best lawyer helping us.
Over the next couple of months, Richard kept us aware of the proceedings and provided us with honest, direct answers to all our questions. Our vacation nightmare is now over. Thanks to him, all charges have been dismissed.

This was my very first expereince with the justice system and it was extremely helpful to have an attonery such as Mr. Hornsby who is very thorough and extremely knowledge of the law and will give you all detailed options for your case, he responds in a timely fashion either through e-mail or by phone, (same day). For myself it was extremely helpful to have Mr. Hornsby represent me in court as I didn't have to miss any work the only appearance I had to make was the last court date and to file all the paper work. This process can and was very overwelming to say the least and to have a very direct and very self explanitory attorney was extremely helpful.

Mr Hornsby is an experienced lawer who knows what he is doing. He took my case knowing that it would be a though one to beat. He listened to my side of the story and in the end got my charges severly reduced, I was originally charged with DUI, unlawful discharge of a weapon while holding a CCW permit (felony), disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. I was sentensed to wreckless driving and resisting arrest (misdemeaner). Mr Hornsby is not one who likes to talk alot. He lets you know when you need to attend court and he does his job. He comes off a little tough at times but is very honest. He proved that he is one to trust and he represented my case very well.

My adult son was arrested for the first time early this month for Disorderly Conduct. We needed to find an attorney right away, but we live out of the area where the arrest took place. I looked for an attorney who was a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, who was educated well with excellent references, and who was raised in a family with a background in law. He returned the first phone call promptly, and his rapid thorough explanations and instructions gave me the confidence that the whole situation would be handled appropriately. My son spoke to Mr. Hornsby, received introductory instructions and follow-up emails and this process was systematic, smooth and timely! Mr. Hornsby was able to get the prosecutor to dismiss the case. We have retained him to get the criminal record expunged as well. So our family highly recommends this lawyer for his meticulous work ethic.

After being released from the county jail for a domestic violence charge I immediately started looking for the best attorney I could find. I was innocent and needed someone to defend me, I needed someone who was knowledgeable in this area of law and would defend me aggressively. After doing my research, Mr. Hornsby was at the top of my short list. I called several law offices on a Saturday. Mr Hornsby was the only one that called me back on the same day.. actually within an hour of me leaving a message. I didn't hear from the others until Monday. When discussing my case with Mr Hornsby, he was very direct. A no nonsense kind of guy. After he outlined how he would conduct my defense, I was convinced he was the attorney I needed. He was aggressive, knowledgeable, direct and there when I need him. He began working on my case immediately. I was very impressed with how quickly he acted at each stage of my defense and his prompt responses when I would call or email him. To make a long story short, he got my case dismissed within 30 days. Mr. Hornsby is not one to coddle his clients or spend lots of time talking to give them a warm fuzzy feeling about how things will turn out. He gives you the facts, says what he will do, and does it, He gets the job done. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend him.

Richard Hornsby worked hard on my DUI case, was straight forward with me when discussing my case, and got an end result that was better than anticipated! He went out of his way to spend time and meet with me and quickly returned my phone calls and emails. Overall, my experience with this attorney was nothing short of excellent! I was pleasantly surprised at the professional attention I received during this very sensitive and delicate matter. It is with highest regards I recommend Mr. Hornsby to be your DUI attorney.

Hired Mr. Hornsby after son was stopped for DUI- we went by online recommendations, as we didn't know any attorneys in the area. Initial impression was a "no-nonsense" attitude- almost curt in interactions- don't let that throw you! Richard was extremely responsive to questions - even on weekends- we received a favorable result (dismissed!) I'd rather have someone who is not afraid to go to trial than someone who has a softer approach and you can't get ahold of! Thanks Richard!

I was fortunate enough to have heard of Richard Hornsby's outstanding reputation prior to my incident. When I was arrested for the first time in my life for a DUI, I was scared and didnt know what to do. I contacted Mr. Hornsby and he made me feel alot better. He is very knowledgeable about the law and knows how to guide you in the right way. He is the best in what he does and goes out of his way to do whatever he can for you. I would not go to anyone else when having a legal issue, He took alot of stress off of myself and my family. You will defiantly be in good hands if you go to him.

Mr. Hornsby did an excellent job with our sons case. His professionalism was comforting and we trusted that our son was getting the best possible representation. Mr. Hornsby achieved the outcome we were hoping for. I would certainly recommend him to friends, family and colleagues.

Mr Hornsby represented my grandson whose charges seemed hopeless at the time. My grandson was looking at a prison sentence of two years. With Mr Hornsby help the charges were reduced and my grandson is now in a rehab center where he belongs and trying hard to get his life back on track. Mr Hornsby was always professional and upfront with all my concerns as well as those of my grandson. He always returned my phone calls and always showed me the utmost courtesy and concern. My grandson will always be grateful for his representation as will I.

Mr. Hornsby attentively and aggresively tackled my case. He listened to what I had to say and worked with me; always was straight forward and trustworthy. His responses, documents, and all forms of communication were very timely, up to date, and explanative. With the court's dismissal of my charges, I have been honored to have been represented by Richard Hornsby. I highly recommend to anyone looking for criminal defense attorney

My daughter recently was in need of a Criminal Attorney. We found Mr. Hornsby's website and began to read the information. I was so impressed with him, I decided to write an email to him about my daughter case. This was on Sunday afternoon, thinking I might hear something the following week. But to my surprise he called me within 10 mins. I was amazed! Mr. Hornsby is a great criminal attorney. He told us what to except every step of the way. If I could rate him from 1-10...I would give him an 11.
Thank you for all your help .

Mr. Hornsby was helpful every step of the way. He helped me get into the pre-trial diversion program. He was very prompt and quick with any phone-calls/and or emails I contacted him with, even when I was out of the country! I would highly recommend him.

Let me start off by saying that I have never been arrested before and never saw myself in a situation where one day I would be. Well that day came and it came hard. It was a 3-5 year minimum mandatory prison sentence crime and I was beyond horrified. Fortunately enough I was advised by a lawyer who is the friend of the family in Orlando who the best trial lawyer would be. They recommended Richard Hornsby and they were absolutely right. From the first office visit I was impressed by his knowledge of the law and the court system. He is very direct and to the point no sugar coating. He tells you what to expect and how he is going to go about to win the case. A true professional. He makes sure you are going to receive the best outcome that is absolutely possible. My case was over a year long and the court can drag things out as long as they want. Richard is not going to put your case on hold because the court system is taking to long. He was with me every step of the way. Needless to say that when that day came to trial I was represented by the best and received the outcome that I was looking for. From my personal experience and seeing other peoples review on this man, you would be doing yourself a crime not ask for his representation. He is the best and you will feel much more confident about your case after a visit with him. Thank you so much

Mr. Hornsby was worth every penny that I paid him for taking my case. (2 felony charges with police recordings) In the end, he resolved my case exactly as discussed months prior during my initial visit to his office. He was always available and returned calls quickly, even when he was out of the country which is a big plus when you have questions. Hopefully I do not need legal defense anytime in the near future but if I do, I will be giving him call and would recommend you do the same.

It doesn't get better than Richard Hornsby! This man saved my son. My son was falsely accused by a nasty, bitter ex-girlfriend of Battery/Dating Violence that never happened! My son was arrested and handled roughly. He didn't even know why the police were at his door. He called me from the jail, in shock and terrified. A story concocted by a girl out of spite, a female officer who said she "felt something MIGHT have happened" was all it took to get my son locked up for days, and suspended from his job without pay! Richard got the case dismissed by sticking to the facts,and handling all the issues and he did a wonderful job! Thank God for Richard Hornsby! Without him, my innocent son would be more than likely sitting in jail, innocent of a crime everyone knew he did not and would never have committed. Richard took every step possible to help my son. The truth was told to my son and I from the very beginning. Richard told us what to expect and what the outcome could be. He is very honest and when you look up the word "integrity" in a dictionary, it ought to have a picture there of Richard Hornsby.Thank you so much, Richard! Words cannot express my gratitude!

As a first time offender, I had little to no knowledge of my situation, and after doing research on the internet, I quickly became overwhelmed. After meeting with Richard Hornsby, however, I felt much better. He was extremely knowledgeable, and had an answer to every question I had. He thoroughly explained every step of my process, and not once did I feel he was doing anything short of what was promised. Richard Hornsby is knowledgeable, confident, experienced, and I would recommend his services to everyone.

When my son needed legal representation I feel very fortunate to have had Mr. Hornsby recommended to us. My son's case could have become a legal entanglement had not Mr. Hornsby demanded the State prove their case on more than a simple accusation. Mr. Hornsby’s courtroom demeanor and the respect shown him by all in the courtroom was reassuring at a very stressful time. I was pleasantly surprised that Mr. Hornsby would answer his phone himself when I would call his office. Mr. Hornsby always made himself available to answer all of our questions and advise us on all options available to bring the case to a favorable conclusion. I feel Mr. Hornsby's fee to represent my son was fair and I was pleased that it was all inclusive from start to finish. In my business life there is always litigation and this is my first experience where additional fees where not requested. I found Mr. Hornsby to be knowledgeable, professional, honest and personable. Mr. Hornsby will always be my first choice and recommendation to anyone seeking legal representation in the Orlando area. In closing, the outcome of my son’s case was that all charges were dropped by the State.

My experience with Mr. Hornsby has been excellent. I had no idea what to expect when I found myself on the wrong side of some charges, but Mr. Hornsby was very knowledgeable about my situation. He presented every option in detail and how they would affect my case and helped me select my best option without pressuring me one way or another. Everything happened exactly how Mr. Hornsby said they would and almost at the exact time he predicted. He really knows the judicial system in Orlando to a tee. Everything in my case was resolved excellently and I am happy to be done. I trusted him so much that I already recommended him to one of my friends in my same situation.

Mr. Hornsby was able to get my criminal charge dismissed within a short period of time. He responded quickly to my emails with answers to all my questions that were easy to understand. He took the time to explain what what was happening with my case and what the expected outcome was. I am very impressed with his knowledge of the legal system.

First off, my charges were possession of a concealed firearm (felony)and possession of cannibus (under 20grams). I googled "Best Criminal Defense Attorneys in Orlando" & Hornsby's name popped up. I read his bio and saw that he played college football. That was enough for me. I played college football and also graduated with both a Bachelor & Masters degree. I was confident that he might have known guys in school like me. We aren't "bad guys"...just got caught up in a little trouble. Richard assured me that everything would be ok. He gave me a worst case scenario and best case scenario at our first meeting. His retainer fee was cheaper than other attorneys that were recommended and we worked out a payment plan. In conclusion, he got the FELONY reduced to a misdemeanor, adjudication withheld, and I ended up with probation and community service. I'll take that! ANYTHING but a felony on my record. Furthermore, I would reccomend his services to anyone in need of solid representation. This guy is GOOD!
Posted by James, a DUI client, Flag
I had a difficult DUI case with property damage and a high BAL. I was very concerned about the possibility of serving time in jail, as well as the extreme financial burden I could be facing. He was very honest and forward about both the possible negative outcome of my case, as well as the positive. He negotiated a plea deal with the state that I was satisfied with, having my charge amended to a lesser one. My penalties and fines were basically cut in half. On the day of my sentencing, he had reworked my deal heavily in my favor by having the state drop the requirement for me to have an interlock device in my car for a year. That was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
I regret my poor decision to drink and drive, but it's nice to have a second chance at correcting one horrible mistake. Hiring him as my attorney was a great decision, and worth every penny. Though I hope to never need his services again, I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a good criminal defense lawyer.

Something serious happens. You find yourself on the wrong side of the law. In the hours and days that follow, you will be taken to have your picture and finger prints taken and held in jail. On the other side of the law, in Jail, people you come in contact with "Have heard it all before". Your picture will be on the Internet within hours. You will be alone and in a very scary place. The uncertainty of the future - all the worst-case scenarios will play out in your head. The humiliation. The grave charges brought against you will be hard to comprehend. It's hard to deal with; heavy.
I was lucky enough to retain Richard Hornsby as soon as I was able.
Richard met me on a Saturday. He was punctual to the minute. In his office, he listened to my explanation of the events. He reviewed my charges from the documents I presented him. He looked me up in the County Clerk system as he knows his way around the infrastructure of the judicial system. Richard sat there for a minute, quietly thinking as he found me in the system and checked various screens of information and looked up the specific statutes I was in violation of.
Without an ounce of sugar-coating (I would have loved a "spoon full of sugar as the medicine went down" but that's not Richard's style) he spun around in his office chair and told me how serious the charges were against me.
I received a razor-sharp-articulate explanation and a very professional assessment of what to expect and the series of events that would probably unfold. Richard was never mean, cruel or condescending. I never felt that I was about to be "raked over the coals". Richard never promised a thing, but his knowledge of the system and his expectations of a "reasonable and predictable" resolution to my charges were comforting.
When I left Richard's office that Saturday, I slept better knowing that I was represented by him.
Ultimately it's about sleep; in your own bed, instead of in Jail or Prison.
As bad as charges might be against you, relax as much as you can, if Richard is representing you.
Even now, as my issue is resolved to a high level of satisfaction, I realize that everything happened according to Richard's assessments from the first day I spoke with him.
I hope to never see Richard again, but I know an Attorney who is competent, intelligent and razor sharp, who is out there defending people; now you know too.
Posted by LaWren, a Criminal Defense client, Flag
To be honest, Attorney Hornsby was chosen by me out of desperation, and how willing he was to help me since I waited last minute to get an attorney. But I'm glad I chose him to defend me. I called him the day before my court date, met up with him in person the day of my court date, and he was readily available to help. I believe he sees the urgency in all cases just by that simple action. If are reading these reviews and maybe undecided, don't be. Use Attorney Hornsby. His straightforwardness might come across abraisive but I would rather have a straight shooter, than someone sugar coating everything. He set up my expectations accurately.
Attorney Hornsby gets it DONE! I was able to contact Mr. Hornsby any time I needed to, and if I didn't speak with him right away, he always promptly returned my phone calls, and even emails.

I got myself in trouble at age 71. Never had to hire a lawyer,after making several calls I found Mr. Hornsby, on the internet. I had been considering a Public Defender, but instead I found not only one of the best rated Attorneys but one of the most affordable as well.The first meeting went well,and I left with the feeling that a huge weight had been lifted and felt hope for the first time.He told me to go home and live my life. I followed his written instructions.He handled everything.He called me the day before my first court appearance and explained what agreement he had reached. It was far better than I had hoped. I am now able to get on with my life and highly recommend Mr. Hornsby, to anyone needing a first rate Criminal Defense Attorney. Thank you Mr. Hornsby,for getting me my life back and being able to go home to my wife of 49 yrs. ----Bless you

I would definitely recommend Mr. Hornsby to a friend or family member. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining things to me and made sure everything worked out in my best interest.

Mr. Hornesby is very to the point, upfront, and extremely honest. He handled my case in a very short matter of time, and was very professional doing so.

Mr. Hornsby obtained a huge downward departure for me, when my previously retained attorney could not even come close after exhausting all legal remedies. This was done on very short notice, so, i commend Mr. Hornsby for his knowledge of the law, and his well deserved reputation for obtaining the most favorable resolutions possible for his clients.

Richard Hornsby is a great defense lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and answers his clients questions in a timely fashion and is direct and to the point in his answers. My initial consultation was very professional and to the point. He explained what was going to happen, what the steps were in the order they would happen and the time frame they would likely happen in. Ultimately I received a very desireable result in my case and the proceedings went as smoothly as possible. I would most certainly recommend Richard Hornsby's service to anyone in need of legal council. Thank you again Richard for your assistance and understanding in my case.

During my case I had a few people gang up on me trying to make it look like I was the most violent, mean, awful person. They put all their stories together to make it seem as I was this person that deserves to be locked up in a cage. Richard Hornsby brought the truth out of everyone and made the courts see them for the frauds they are. Mr. Hornsby's experience in court while cross examining witnesses is an unbelievable strategy is proved to be successful. If you are looking for a Professional Trial Attorney that you can trust and feel completely confident in do not hesitate to call Richard Hornsby.

Mr. Hornsby was fantastic at giving me fair representation and getting the job done. In what seemed like a terrible situation, Mr. Hornsby was able to review the facts of my case and use his extensive knowledge to get me a very favorable outcome. What looked like a life changing mistake has now been turned into a minuscule speed bump because of Mr. Hornsby's services. I highly recommend his representation.

My son was charged with 3 felonies facing a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. I hired Mr. Hornsby to represent him and it was the best decision I ever made. I called Mr. Hornsby's office on a Friday and left a message. To my surprise he returned my call on that Friday evening. He earned my trust and respect with that phone call. He successfully defended my son by getting the state to drop all of the felony charges. He negotiated a misdemeanor plea with only 9 months of probation. Mr. Hornsby is very professional, intelligent and honest. He always returns my emails and promptly answered my endless questions. If you ever find yourself needing a defense attorney I highly recommend hiring Richard Hornsby.Angi

I personally thoroughly recommend Mr Hornsby. I have used his services from another country (the UK) and have found him to be extremely professional, very prompt in dealing with any matters and all correspondence and most importantly very honest. His rates were very reasonable, especially for the high quality of services he provided for me as his client and I found him to be highly reasonable on all matters. He provided a very swift and highly satisfactory outcome to my case, a great deal sooner than I expected and I would certainly recommend him to everyone and would definitely use him again should there ever be a need to. Thank you from a very satisfied client.

Attorney Hornsby jumped right into action at the end of our first phone call and was in court without me two times.

I highly recommend Mr. Hornsby for criminal cases. I was wrongfully accused and arrested (Felony). I literally could not prove my innocence! He did. He handled very well no matter what kind of curve ball were thrown at the case in the process...
The state had dropped the charges in 30 days, Normally it takes between 60 to 175 days to make a decision.
So happy I hired him!

He makes himself very available, and to this day, I call him with any legal concerns I may have. He always gets back to me immediately and is very confident and knowledgeable regarding any advice he gives me. He is the best!

There are not enough words to describe how happy I am with the results in my case. Mr. Hornsby was always available for my questions, and tailored communication for what was easiest for me, not what was easiest for him. He made himself available for office conferences at times that worked for me and my schedule, and he cared about my case as much, if not more, than I did. He is absolutely brilliant, and 100% committed to his clients. If I ever need criminal defense services again, he is my first call.

Richard is knowledgeable, professional and delivered on his promises. There aren't too many attorney's out there with his qualifications and dedication. I spoke to Mr. Hornsby over the phone and I immediately hired him w/o even meeting him. I don't recommend folks do this, but I had an immediate gut feeling just by speaking to him. He cared and I wanted him to take on my case because of how dedicated he was. I am very glad I did. He represented my son in a case and the results were favorable. I strongly recommend Mr. Hornsby for your legal needs. He's just an overrall decent person.

Richard was great. He treated me with ultimate respect and since I am a very detail oriented person, he provided me everything I asked with full explanations. I knew where I stood with him and my case every step of the way. He did not sugar coat anything or paint a rosy picture to get me to sign, which was extremely important to me. He also did exactly what he said he would. His knowledge of how to handle is case is apparent as the prosecutor gave the impression of not wanting to go up against him. He was able to get my case resolved very fast and very much to my benefit. As one of the most professional people I have met in a long time, I would recommend him to anyone that needs a criminal lawyer.

I was recently represented by Mr. Hornsby on a Violation of Probation case in Orange County. It was my 3rd violation and I was looking at spending some time in Orange County Jail. My probation officer's recommended that I be sentenced to the maximum penalty allowed by Florida law (3 years I believe). Even facing all of this Mr. Hornsby was able to get me out of jail after 31 days with "time served" and terminated probation. This was even 4 weeks before my V.O.P. hearing date! I know if I had hired a less assertive lawyer I would still be in jail today. I would tell anyone needing a lawyer that it does matter who you hire and Richard Hornsby is the best choice they could make for themselves.

Mr. Hornsby failed to appear at my trial! I finally tracked him down after two hours and he arrived shortly thereafter. His explanation was that the trial was not on his calendar.

Let me start off by thanking Mr. Hornsby for handling my case very professionally and successfully. Mr. Hornsby took care of a DUI that I was being charged with, and won the case. This was due to his vast knowledge of law and direct personality. He was aggressive with the case, in the sense of that he didn't back down my defense for a second. He went about the cross examination in a very clever way. He said all the right things all at the right time. He kept me informed of every detail that I personally needed to know. This is an attorney that I strongly recommend to anyone. I was only without my license for a couple weeks. Now my DUI is dropped and currently have my license. Thanks to Mr. Hornsby'a excellent service I have no pending charges and I can continue on with my life without having to worry about the mess I was about to be in.
Lawyer’s Comment:
I assume I should be flattered that you gave me a negative review because I would not take your case. Unfortunately, I am irritated at your lack of candor in your review.
As you know, you called at 6PM on a Friday asking me to call your mother back. I call your mother and she pretends she has no idea what I was talking about. You then call me back and inform me your case in in Highlands County. I advise you that I do not take cases in Highlands County because it is three hours from my office. You then ask me to recommend an attorney, I advise you that I don't know any attorneys in Highlands County. You then ask me if I would help you find one, I advise you I am out shopping with my son and do not have the ability to do so.
You then get upset and tell me I should take your case in Highlands, at this point respectfully ended the call. I may have been short with you, because of your inconsiderate actions, but to leave a negative review as if your were an actual client, that is simply childish.
