About Michael
Biography
For over 25 years, Michael D. Horn has helped thousands of clients avoid the severe consequences of an arrest or conviction. I will creatively pursue every angle possible to help you secure the best possible result.
My experience with the law and courts from Nassau County to Manhattan have taught me that prosecutors, police officers and the FBI are often more interested in obtaining a conviction than doing justice. I care very much about protecting your rights and freedoms from aggressive government agents. In 1988, he was arrested for a crime he did not commit. Mr. Horn quickly learned that not everyone accused of serious allegations is guilty. Since then, he has made it his life's work to seek justice for everyone facing a criminal accusation.
As an aside, I have been happily married since 1994. My wife is also a criminal defense attorney. You can imagine the conversations.
New York Criminal Defense Lawyer. Over 25 years experience providing effective legal defense. When the stakes are high and you need an attorney with the experience you expect and the results you can count on, Call Mike.

Great Lawyer
Michael not only helped me get a case dismissed in a very smart and professional way, he also set me at ease and took some of the stress away (which is difficult when you have to deal with city courts). The legal system is complicated, and I'm glad he navigated it for me. I always felt like my case w...

Best Attorney for the job, hands down...
I hired a friend/attorney to represent me in a DWI proceeding. It was going absolutely no where for almost a year. My "friend" told me that the offer (which was the same from day one) was the best I was going to get and that I should take it. Thankfully, I declined to do so and began my search for an...
