To the point and very knowledgeable
Mr. Horner has answered quickly, accurately and concisely every question I have asked on Avvo, and I have asked many! Apparently, I have a seemingly difficult case, as no lawyer in the NYC area will touch it- even the referrals from the NYC Bar Association have refused me so I am forced to proceed Pro Se. I would hire him in a second, unfortunately, he is two hours away. Thank you, Mr. Horner.

Very Helpful and returned my messages
I would like to have hired him, but I guess the location was a problem (too far from me) and I get too anxious and think that lawyers should be able to work miracles (which he probably can), but i think he got upset with me. He seems very very knowledgeable and very quick to respond.
