Beyond greatful

I couldn't be happier with the results I received from having Attorney Richard Hornsby represent me. I was a high profile case, with serious charges; 1st Degree Arson being one of them. My family and I contacted Mr. Hornsby after my original attorney of one year had been suspended. With my case being... an older one (2017) we were now approaching 2019, and we were being pushed to wrap things up. In the amount of time Richard had to defend my case, he worked wonders. More had been done in the six months or so that he had taken over, practically starting from scratch, than the whole previous year. In the end, I was sentenced to 366 days DOC, serving just over a month in prison with credit from county jail, and released on supervision which included Community Control (2 yrs) followed by Probation (5 yrs) both with early termination. In my eyes, as well as my family's, this was the greatest outcome we could have hoped for, seeing that I was facing 4 to 30 years in prison. God forbid I ever need a defense attorney again, I wouldn't think twice about calling Attorney Hornsby, he's great at what he does, very honest and upfront - never sugarcoating any aspect of your case, which I appreciate more than anything.

AMAZING!

Richard hornsby is by far the best lawyer in the state of Florida. He was able to get my charge lower then what it was originally . He was very professional and keeps you updated on what goes on in your case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! Thank you for all your help again!

Jury Trial Acquittal

Attorney Hornsby represented me in a jury trial. If you are looking for someone to hold you hand and encourage you throughout the process, go hire a therapist. He will not be your friend but will represent you like few can do. He knows the law and will get you the best possible result. My case ...went to trial. He took command in the court room. He was never lost in his notes. He knew exactly what he was doing and could refer to documents without any hesitation. He crucified the prosecutor! An acquittal was realized. My previous profession required me to analyze the speaking ability of individuals that we might hire. I know speaking talent when I see it. Both his opening and closing statements were punctuated with appropriate illustrations. In fact in the closing statement he was actually on the floor giving the jury an animated picture of why the charge was ridiculous. He even dropped his phone on the courtroom floor to illustrate a point. (I hope his phone was not damaged). His statements ran the range of emotions and most importantly connected with the jury because he came across as genuine. The prosecutor came across as a robot. I hope that I never need another lawyer the rest of my life. But if I lived in Central Florida, he is the only lawyer that I would consider.

The Jackson's from Georgia

I retained the services of Mr. Hornsby because my Son was facing two felony charges which carried mandatory minimum sentencing of 5 years each. My research as well as the recommendations regarding Mr. Hornsby’s’ firm were second to none. Given my son’s prior criminal history, I knew he not onl...y needed divine intervention but stellar legal assistance as well. Mr. Hornsby proved to be the guardian angel that my son needed. I must emphasis that Mr. Hornsby is a straight forward no nonsense professional. He will not sugar coat your situation just to appease you, BUT he will explain thoroughly what the law states as well as your options. My Son and I are both disabled military veterans and suffer from the perils of combat. So, we could appreciate the tough and knowledgeable approach that Mr. Hornsby brings to the table. He possessed a keen sense of the law and knows his way around the court room. If you and your family are in the midst of a legal situation and need a proven Attorney, well I feel Mr. Hornsby is the best representation that you can retain during your time of trouble. We were so thankful for the results our son’s case which was overall resolved with 3 years’ probation. Mr. Hornsby is the man!! Hooah!! Highly Recommended The Jackson's
