The best criminal attorney

Mike Horn is a great lawyer. I highly recommend him. He came highly recommended by the personnel in the Queens County Criminal Court. I was arrested in October of 2012, I refused the Breathalyzer and was charged with Felony DWI. My license was to be suspended immediately for refusing the Breathal...yzer. I have a prior conviction for DWI and the consequences of this arrest could have been life changing. I need my license for work. I drive all day for my job and now getting so close to retirement it would have been devastating to me and my family, to lose my license and my job. Mike got all of the charges dismissed. I am not knowledgeable enough to understand the legal procedure but I do know that he was on top of his game, he knew the relevant case law and argued vehemently for me. WE WON!!! He didn’t give up and he didn’t back down. The criminal charges were dismissed against me!! If that was not enough he was also able to argue to the Department of Motor Vehicles magistrate that the police inappropriately demanded the Breathalyzer. That case was dismissed too! I kept my license. As I said Mike Horn is a great lawyer and is worth triple his fees.

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.
