More Than Just an Attorney

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and Mr. Derek Horne was there for me from day one, literally meeting me at the hospital while I was in bad shape. From the very beginning he made me feel comfortable and never treated me like just another client. Whenever I had questions or didn't unde...rstand something, he always took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, like a good friend would. He kept me and my family feeling positive and reassured throughout the whole process, which meant a lot during such a tough time. Thanks to his hard work, I received the compensation I deserved for my injuries. But honestly, what stood out the most was how genuine and caring he was every step of the way. Mr. Derek Horne and The Horne Law Firm have earned my full trust and respect, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring attorney. You will be in great hands!

Meet your new Lawyer Derek Horne

Derek Horne walks the talk. After searching for a local Pooler attorney to help me with a local matter I made several phone calls and after speaking with a couple others that only seemed to want my money but couldn't explain exactly how they would handle my situation and didnt have much time to talk... before getting paid one of them a former local prosecutor I made my last call to Derek Horne. Derek Horne took the call right away and spent 20 minutes on the phone with me before discusing any money. He was clear on what he would do for me and he knew all the local players, without going into great detail talking with Derek was like talking to one of the guys and he delivered in a big way and at a resonable fee. My case outcome was exactly what he said it would be. Derek Horne is a lawyer you can trust. HIRE HIM !!!

DONT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE!

derek and his team helped my boyfriend and i after we were hit by a drunk driver. he and his team treated us like family and not only made sure we got the top dollar we deserved but also that we got the care we deserved afterwards as well. he found us every single doctor we needed to see and made sur...e we had rides to appointments. hes also the only reason we were able to get a new car quickly by giving us ways to access some money when we needed it before our case was done. he even sent me a birthday card on my birthday which just goes to show his kindness and detail to his clients. if i could give him 100 stars i would and highly highly recommend him.

Mr Horne es un excelente abogado y muy considerado

Mr Horne ayudo a un amigo Alexis Montano Corvea con un accidente y algunas multas en la ciudad de Port Wenworth . Yo ayude con la interpretacion por eso conoci el trabajo de Mr Horne. Lo recomiendo como abogado porque es considerado, desea ayudar y no es interesado. Aunque fuimos 4 veces a la Corte... sus honorarios no cambiaron y siempre nos tuvo en comunicacion via telefono, texto, y un par de veces consulta en su oficina en Pooler, Ga.

Not like other lawyers

Mr. Horne aided me and my children after we were rear ended. There was no waiting or leaving messages for secretary’s and I was immediately impressed that when I called HE picked up the phone. Once I hired him he stepped in and made wrongs right! He kept in touch with me every step of the way and ans...wered any question I had. He’s gone above and beyond what I could’ve hoped for.
