Robert and Greg are by far the best lawyers around. A real 5 star team for sure. They handled my very unique one of a kind family matter like they had done it a thousand times. They are both Very knowledgeable, honest and professional. Straight shooters throughout the whole case. Sit back let them do... what they do and you will be impressed.I always walked In the court room full of confidence and always felt prepared especially with Robert’s lazer like focus during every proceeding. I couldn’t have had a better team during this very difficult time. If you’re looking for the best results possible in your case I highly recommend Robert and Greg. Money well spent!

PFA order granted!

I cannot recommend Attorney Robert and Attorney Greg enough. From the moment I walked into their office, they were incredibly supportive and encouraging. As a victim, I was feeling lost and unsure about pursuing a PFA order. However, my attorney not only explained my rights to me but also instilled f...aith in me to continue the legal process. During the proceedings, the opposing attorney made me feel like the bad person, but my attorney stood by my side, defending me every step of the way. They skillfully highlighted the defendant's actions as being in direct violation of the law, ensuring that justice was served. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was granted the PFA order. Not only was Attorney Robert knowledgeable and professional, but they also displayed immense empathy and understanding throughout the entire process. They truly cared about my well-being and fought tirelessly to protect my rights. If you're in need of a reliable and compassionate attorney who will go above and beyond to ensure your voice is heard, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Attorney Robert.

Robert Van Horn is an excellent lawyer.

Robert Van Horn is an excellent Lawyer. He has worked diligently for us for the past few years, helping my grandson get his life back on track. He sorted out and worked through my grandson’s serious legal issues involving three court systems and two counties. He was always responsive and available..., guiding my grandson through the maze of the legal system. He is intelligent, experienced, efficient, and very effective. Even more importantly, he cares about the people he represents. He gave my grandson a chance to get his life back. We are lucky to have had his help and we are forever grateful to him. Thank you Robert!
