Excellent in child custody case!

My experience with Keith Horner was exceptional. Keith was professional, sincere, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. My daughter and I are incredibly thankful for his outstanding legal service in our custody case. Keith's confidence in our case was reassuring, and the outcome was... exactly what we hoped for.

Exceptional

Mr. Horner was there for me every step of the way. Retaining guardianship of my granddaughter was a very complicated and unusual. He became my voice and I don't believe anyone could have done it better than him.

Divorce/Custody Highly Recommend

I was very happy with the services Keith provided for my divorce and custody cases. He was professional and compassionate. He was fair, yet definitely firm in communicating my interests and needs. During such an emotionally difficult time, Keith answered all my questions and handled all my concern...s. I never doubted that he was putting my best interests first. Highly recommend!

Keith Horner Attorney with a Heart!

Keith Horner represents with knowledge and a heart. From the moment I reached out to him, he listen to my concerns and cared about my feelings. Keith shows compassion by acknowledging the circumstances and how vulnerable clients are when they come in need of legal counsel. He is honest and represents... you wholeheartedly, like you are his only client. He understands the expenses accrued during separations and divorce so his firm will advise you up front of affordable options regarding your specific case. I highly recommend Keith Horner Law to anyone seeking a honest Attorney with a heart!!!!

Mr.Horner is Wonderful

My child's mother made it so hard for me to see my child and it was time to fight for shared placement that I deserved. No matter how hard, complicating, tiring and nerve racking things got Mr. Horner always made me feel comfortable and confident walking into the court room. Mr. Horner is very profes...sional, explains things thoroughly and held his composure very well even when the other attorney was not as professional. My case was very long and after 3 court hearings Mr. Horner got me what he had promised from the beginning I would receive. I am so pleased with the way Mr. Horner and his assistant works. The communication was wonderful and smooth which made this process a lot easier for me. For Mr. Horner to be able to listen to events I have encountered and years of drama and then take it all in and put himself in my shoes and be able to back my case up the way he did is amazing and takes talent. I want to thank Mr. Horner and his Assistant for all there hard work and dedication to my case.
