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!

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.

Number 1 Lawyer

When an SUV knocked me off my motorcycle, I broke my leg and three bones in my hand. The $400,000 settlement helped me get back on my feet and start my dream business, but that is not why I tell everyone they should use Derek as their attorney. Derek called me every single week he had my case, and n...ever failed to fully explain each step of the process. My case was in 2015, and he still calls to check on me. He cares, and it shows.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Derek Horne handled a case for my child when she was hurt in a car accident. Mr. Horne kept me informed every step of the way and my case ended up with results better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Mr. Horne to anyone in need of legal services who wants an attorney who ac...tually cares. Thank you Mr. Horne.

  • 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.
