At the time I was a dumb college student who wasn't thinking. I had never gotten introuble before and was really scared I would have to do jail time. I googled lawyers in Orlando and stumbled apon Mr. Hornsby. I called him right away an explained to him what I did. He ensured me that he would beable... to take care of it and quickly went over the game plan which included no jail time, just community service. Not only was Mr. Hornsby very responsive but his assistance we also very helpful. They would take down my information and within 2 hours Mr. Hornsby would call me back to answer any of my questions. Not the cheapest but you definitely pay for what you get, worth every penny. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who gets themselves in legal trouble.

It's official, I just received the letter. Case Dismissed! I retained Mr. Hornsby because he is the only lawyer who gave me any hope of a dismissal. I talked to other lawyers who said I should plead no contest and hope for withheld adjudication. In other words, they didn't want to put any time in...to my case. Where I work, even withheld adjudication would mean I could lose my job. I wanted someone to DEFEND me. I spent untold hours researching attorneys and he had the best reviews on the internet. But I also looked up his case records on the Orange County Clerk's website to verify his successes and that sold me on him. The only negative comments that I read about him concerned his personality. I never found him to be rude. But, I didn't want a courtroom cream-puff, I wanted someone who wasn't a pushover and would stand up for me. If you're reading this, you're looking for a defense attorney, not a buddy. Do you want a doctor to save your life only if they're a nice guy (or gal)? Personality wouldn't matter to me if I was desperate, and that's how this case made me feel. If you want to feel warm and fuzzy, buy a puppy. If you want the best and most professional lawyer, hire Richard Hornsby. A professional returns calls and emails in a timely manner, provides clear instructions, gives concise information, has very reasonable rates and yields desirable outcomes. That all describes Mr. Hornsby. I felt confident the day I retained him and I am positive the outcome would have been completely different with anyone other than Mr. Hornsby.

I received a written arrest for a misdemeanor and was never in this position. I had no idea what to do, what to expect and was frightened about it all. I am a freshman in college and my parents were very anxious as well as they never had to deal with anything like this and didn't know where to sta...rt. They found Mr. Hornsby by searching on the internet for criminal attorneys in the area, called a few and were impressed that Mr. Hornsby answered the first call himself. He was extremely helpful in stating what our options were and explained them in detail. My parents requested his service, they felt the fee was quite reasonable and I contacted him to provide the details of the events that led to my arrest. He was always available to answer any questions and kept us informed. 2 weeks after this happened I received an email from Mr. Hornsby saying the case was dismissed! I am so thankful to him! My parents are very happy with the outcome.

I would highly recommend Mr. Hornsby to anyone seeking criminal defense representation in the Orlando area. I faced a first-degree misdemeanor, and was unsure of where to turn for legal representation. I made several phone calls to attorneys in the Orlando area but Mr. Hornsby was the only attorney w...ho promptly returned my phone call and arranged for a meeting the next day. Not only had another attorney already recommended Mr. Hornsby, but after a meeting in person I was sure he was the best choice for handling my case. Mr. Hornsby took care of everything and exceeded expectations, obtaining a dismissal in my case. Mr. Hornsby was professional throughout his representation and always kept the lines of communication open. Any criminal matter is a serious situation and I feel confident in recommending Mr. Hornsby to any friends or family in the Orlando area faced with that unfortunate situation.
