Extremely Professional & Helpful

Mr. Hornsby and his office handled my Petite Theft misdemeanor case. Having never been arrested prior to this, I was not familiar with this process. I visited three law offices before meeting with Mr. Hornsby. After a 30 minute meeting, it was clear that he would represent me. He was professional, re...spectful, honest, and "to-the-point" about the theft charges when describing the length and the process to get the charges dismissed and ultimately expunged. It was apparent that Mr. Hornsby has had many years of experience in the Orlando court system and was very knowledgeable about theft cases. Throughout the Pre-trial Diversion program, his office was very efficient in sending an e-mail as well as a typed letter that described each step of the process, (i.e. a letter was sent when I was admitted into the PTD program, released from the program, charges dismissed, etc.). Each letter also described the next steps to expect and also stated to contact his office with any further questions. I highly recommend Mr. Hornsby and his office when looking for representation whether it is a petite theft case or any other criminal charge. He will give you the most honest advice in Orlando in regards to your case.

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.

Best Possible Outcome!

I was referred to Mr. Hornsby by an attorney for one of my relatives. I was charged with a DUI and I was under the legal drinking age. Mr. Hornsby was able get me entered into a pre-trial Diversion program, however, I was pulled over for driving with a suspended license, before I completed the prog...ram. Mr. Hornsby was not only able to get that ticket reduced to just a court fine, but was also able to still get my DUI down to a reckless driving conviction. The only jail time I served was the night of my initial arrest. Given my circumstances, I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. I would recommend Mr. Hornsby to anyone who is seeking the best legal representation in the state of Florida!

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.

Domestic Violence Defense - Professional and Thorough

I called on Mr. Hornsby to guide me through my first, and hopefully last, legal issue. I called his office the morning after posting bail, and his staff had him contact me within one hour of my initial call. I told him the situation and he agreed to take my case. He was upfront about the cost, the... process, and the possible outcomes. In addition to that, within 3 hours of our phone conversation, I received, via email, a detailed breakdown of the whole process that was about to be undertaken. The information was so thorough that it virtually eliminated the need for any questions. Every step of the way, in reality, followed exactly what was stated. He ended up getting my case dismissed and is now in the process of having the case expunged. I could not be happier with Mr. Hornsby's representation.
