Look no further...

Not sure if this review qualifies since Richard Hornsby did not actually handle my case directly. What I can say is that this is a Truly honest lawyer. When I requested his services he was somewhat busy with more urgent cases; I just needed an early termination of probation. Hornsby gave me the op...tion of having Lyle Mazin handle my case. I can't thank him enough for introducing me to Lyle Mazin. If Hornsby is The Best, then Lyle Mazin is his twin brother. To be honest, I get the same kind of vibe from both of them...both of them have this suppressed intensity about them ready to be unleashed on the prosecution. My case case was not easy, I was actually asking for early termination at 1/4 of the way. Lyle saw an opportunity to get me out of my situation and pursued it with the skill of master and the zeal of a warrior . These guys are on a league of their own. If you're looking for a lawyer, don't risk getting stuck with someone who is just gonna take your money just to make a bullshit deal with the prosecution just because they don't truly care about you or just don't have the skill and the guts to get in the prosecution's face and argument on your behalf. The guy who handled my case before Attorney Mazin was of the type described in the previous sentence. I felt like he was the prosecution's pet or something. My charges would've been dropped if I had Mazin on my side then. Mazin and Hornsby are true public servants and live sacrificially in order to give their clients the best outcome possible. They could be out suing and getting mega rich, but instead they choose to battle, not to get rich, but to help a brother out. I hope God pays them back for their sacrifice, they deserve more than just money, I hope they live lives with God's favor on their side. Lyle Mazin is the Man! and so is Richard Hornsby, thanks for not dropping me...thanks for taking care of me by introducing me to Lyle Mazin. By the way, Lyle Mazin has plaques all over his walls...he was named Top 40 under 40, Top 100 trial lawyer, and the list goes on. Richard Hornsby is also just as distinguished. I truly wish these guys the best, cause they're the best.

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Hornsby came highly recommended from a friend who had a similar DUI case. I found Mr. Hornsby extremely knowledgeable and honest. He has a professional attitude and no nonsense demeanor in all interactions and you truly feel he is fighting for you and has your best interests in focus. Though I... feel he could be a little more warm and comforting to clients that are scared and unsure, especially in a first-time offense, he was true to his word on what he felt would happen with my case and kept me informed along the way. He answered any questions that I sent over and helped me immensely to rectify my mistake in the best-case scenario. Thank you, thank you.

Possession of Alcohol Underage

Mr. Hornsby was wonderful. He took my case right away and immediately took my statement and explained that 3 things need to occur in order for a person to be charged with possession of alcohol underage. He explained that because one of those three things had not occurred in my situation, that I had a... good case. I provided him with the information of witnesses. I had a court date scheduled but never had to attend because Mr. Hornsby spoke with the prosecutor and got them to dismiss my case. I am more than pleased with the service Mr. Hornsby has provided me.

Case Dismissed

Richard Horsby's website is very informative. For most of the questioned I had, I found the answers easily. I thought that Mr. Hornsby’s idea of teaching the “layman” about the law and their rights was refreshing; therefore, I hired Mr. Hornsby to defend my daughter for a drug possession charge. Mr.... Hornsby kept in touch with me throughout this process, explaining all the possible outcomes for my daughter. Because of his extensive knowledge of the law, and his expertise in research, all charges against my daughter were dismissed.

100% Legal Defense Thumbs Up

I hired Mr. Richard Earl Hornsby after 5 months of extensive research of Criminal Defense Lawyers throughout the Central Florida Area. My Husband was facing many years in Prison due to Violating his probation (5 Felony Counts) in the state of Florida. Mr. Hornsby was extremely Confident and Knowledge...able of the Florida Statues in every which way and therefore knew exactly how he would approach my husbands charges with the State Attorneys Office. This was not a lightweight case that Mr. Richard Hornsby had his hands on. This case was very complex, and Mr. Hornsby took it on without a sweat. Thanks to the knowledge and professionalism this lawyer has under his belt is the reason my husband can live his life again outside of the Criminal Justice System. In the court room, Mr. Hornsby spoke so eloquently, to the point where the State and the Judge just allowed him to speak in a manner in which they trusted and believed to be so. There where no questions from the state as to Mr. Hornsby being incorrect about anything he was bringing forward in this case. A lawyer as such holds a lot of weight and is very well respected in the Judicial System. It was a blessing that I decided to hire Mr. Richard Hornsby to defend my husband in a case that could have determined the fate and well being of our family.
