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.

BET YOUR LIFE ON MIKE
Mike went above-and-beyond to help me get my life back on track. After 7 months of facing multiple felonies and misdemeanors totaling 5-25 years of imprisonment, all charges were dismissed. Mike helped me aggregate all of the evidence I had proving my innocence, and got two different DAs on separate ...

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...

Calm, well-versed, and on your side.
Michael is currently handling my DUI case. I'm admittedly an anxious individual, even more when considering how my career would be affected, but Michael has been patient and reassuring from the very first day. In our first conversations, he was remarkably soft-spoken, willing to listen, willing to di...
