Robert Eugene Hornberger's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am a colleague of Mr. Hornberger and Mrs. Verbitsky, in the Matrimonial/Family Law Field of Law, and I have worked with their firm on many occasions. I truly cannot say enough positive and wonderful things about working with this law firm. From the onset of each case, they have been nothing but responsive, attentive, and extremely professional, all while fully advocating for their client’s best interests. The attorneys in this firm, and specifically, the husband and wife duo, Mr. Hornberger and Mrs. Verbitsky who are the firm’s managing partners, are an absolute pleasure to work with, and I very much look forward to working with them on future legal matters. I also highly recommend anyone who is looking to hire a top-notch, 5-Star, Matrimonial attorney/firm to handle their divorce with tenacity and the utmost level of professionalism to immediately hire this firm… you will NOT be disappointed!! Thank you to Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C., for being such an asset t"
"I have referred many cases to Rob over the years and would not hesitate to refer again. He is a great, strong attorney who knows his subject matter inside and out."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. He is an extremely competent attorney who tirelessly fights for his clients. Frankly, he came close to wearing me out."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Having worked with Robert on the other side of both litigated and collaborative matters, I know him to be a skilled trial attorney, as well as a pragmatic and adept negotiator. He knows the law; he is even tempered and clear thinking; he finds the most direct path to trial or resolution (savings his clients significant legal fees); and he is always on top of his case files -- promptly returning phone calls, meeting deadlines, and turning out first rate motions, agreements and proposals. Because of Robert's skills and ethics, I have referred even close friends in need of legal representation to him, and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. In the field of matrimonial attorneys, Robert stands out as one of the best in Suffolk County."
"I cannot say enough good things about Robert. His desire to represent clients with his whole heart and to the best of his ability is a truly remarkable thing to see. In a field where emotions run high, Robert's genuine concern for the well-being of his clients and their children allows him to stand apart from the crowd. He does not simply do his job and go home; his clients are a constant priority because he knows what he does changes people's lives, and those changes are not always realized between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Robert's attention to detail and precision is a quality few possess, but one that everyone should hope their divorce or family law attorney values. I referred Robert to a number of friends, and will continue to do so without hesitation. The matrimonial bar would be lucky to have more attorneys like him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Rob is interested in settling cases quickly and fairly."
"I had referred a very good client to Robert to help her through a difficult divorce. He was both caring and professional. I would, in the future, recommend Robert to anyone who needed a competent, caring and hard working divorce attorney who puts his clients first. He works hard to resolve the issues without putting the client through the stress and the anxiety of multiple court appearances or even trial. If a trial or hearing is necessary, he is a bulldog, fighting hard for his client. I would unconditionally recommend Robert to anyone who needs help with a divorce, support, custody or any other Family Law issue."
"Robert is an experienced and knowledgeable divorce lawyer. His dedication to and compassion for his clients and their often-time sensitive issues is second to none. I highly recommend him."
