Healthcare hero

As a healthcare worker I quickly found myself abandoned by leadership following an unfortunate incident with an aggressive ER patient . Mr. Van Horn was reassuring, calm and competent , not only did he succeed in having all charges dropped but I’m back to work in healthcare without a record doing wha...t I love, reasonable rates and competence, highly recommend

OUI Case Attorney

Robert is an amazing lawyer. He takes the time to hear you out while forming his case. He made time to meet in person on multiple occasions, in addition, he is responsive when communicating via email. He would respond on off-work hours as well. Robert’s best quality is his interrogation ability. ...Robert was very aggressive in finding holes in the police officer’s statements while on the stand. Robert was able to get the best possible outcome for me, and I was very appreciative. I highly recommend hiring Robert for your legal situations.

Worth every penny, and affordable. Excellent negotiators on his team...

I made a mistake and reached out to Robert the day after. I was in his office within 4 hours of contacting him via email. The flat rate was affordable and in court I was given a second chance. Every time I had a question I emailed him and got a response within a few hours, usually minutes. He has... an excellent poker face which he presents to the court but he softens when talking to his clients. He really cares about fairness as long as you accept responsibility for your actions.

Best attorney, brilliant & worth the $

My husband was facing 25 years for possession and trafficking class A schedule W drug, his bail was set at $75,000 and Mr. VanHorn and his paralegal Greg Sheehan did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING job & got all the charges dismissed & the case thrown out!! He was so quiet I didn't know what to think in the b...eginning, but he's young & quiet but def knows the law & pulled out the tricks when needed & rocked!!! Definetley worth every penny, this man is a genius!!!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
