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.
