Responsive, Reliable, Knowledgeable.

Mr. Hornberger handled a very stressful custody and child support case for my family with the utmost professionalism, compassion and care. His expertise, understanding and preparation of our case helped ease the tension during this most difficult time. The high quality of service we received from... Mr. Hornberger and his staff throughout our case was undeniable. Their style of communication is to respond to any inquiries or requests quickly and honestly. If you have a question, you don't wait for days for a response! We are happy to have found a firm that understands the complexities and sensitive nature associated with these types of cases as well as the complex New York legal system. They offer legal advice in a timely manner and will litigate professionally, when necessary.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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 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."

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.
