A Stand Out Among His Peers

I am a civil trial lawyer with over 40 years’ trial experience. When a very dear client of mine needed a criminal defense lawyer, we retained Joe. He was knowledgeable and candid but comforting in his assessments, all along the way. He cared about his client as a person, not just as a “case.” Des...pite an obviously busy practice, he was accessible, even during “off hours,” and answered my many questions promptly and patiently. It was quite apparent that he has earned the respect of those at each level of the criminal justice system -- law enforcement, prosecution, and judiciary. He achieved a favorable and fair resolution in our case. I recommend him highly.

The best private attorney!

Honestly, the last person to review Mr. Horn must be more then an ass by far by just reading the review posted and must of forgot to take their medication before posting. Myself and everyone else who knows Mr Joseph Horn will totally disagree to the negative review posted. Mr. Horn has meet every exp...ectation I can think of. I have worked with Mr. Horn various times and he is very professional and will work with his clients any time of the day. I have worked with Mr. Horn for over 1 year. He's Very affordable and will work with you in every aspect of the case, even late at night during off hours. He is a previous police officer for Mahwah NJ and knows the law in and out. He is very honest, reliable, dependable and affordable. He even buys all his hondas from Mahwah Honda! Extremely loyal.. Mr horn has great connections, give him a call whether you need legal advise, legal representation or even an affordable Honda at a presidents award dealership 3 years in a row. Lastly if your on the fence who you should offer your business to Mr. Joseph horn is the way to go by far!

THE WORST ATTORNEY I'VE EVER WORKED WITH

I DO NOT recommend this attorney. Joseph does not know how to conduct himself in a professional manner. I hired him for a case and he was very convincing as to why I should hire him when I was searching for an attorney- turned out, after I signed the detainer, he did little to nothing to help my case.... He scarcely answered phone calls and texts. The day of my court date, he had absolutely no defense case prepared, was extremely disorganized and forced me to completely plea guilty. There was no point in me paying him thousands. He took my money, and after the court date, he never answered ANY phone calls, texts, emails or anything of the matter. When I contacted the court, they told me to contact my attorney but he was very unresponsive and I would NEVER work with this man again. DO NOT HIRE HIM!!!!! I am sure there are other attorneys out there that know what are doing and how to communicate with their client and build a case.
