Posted by anonymous | May 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Sex Crime

Insecure and left alone

I met Mr. Horn after I was accused of false sexual charges. Since this was my first time ever being accused of or charged with a felony, I did not know what to do. I hired Mr. Horn and he promised me to fight in his best effort. After the third court appearance, I had many doubts about him. He fai...led to provide me any service whatsoever. I had to call him before every court date for updates, but since I paid him thousands of dollars, I had to continue to trust him. He always promised me to help me. After 10 months of being on jail and waiting, I did not see any help or effort from Mr. Horn. I felt insecure, constantly ignored and left alone. The effort this attorney made was extremely unsatisfactory, if it was any effort at all. Mr. Horn even suggested that I hired a private investigator that of course he, himself provided. I agreed and paid for the extra fees, but the results of the PI were the same that I was getting from Mr. Horn, NONE. For this reasons and from being tired of fighting alone I took a plea, even when the DA did not have any strong evidence.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
