Richard represented our son on a felony theft charge. Richard was successful in negotiating restitution, getting the case dismissed, and keeping our son from having a life-long felony conviction on his record. Richard was recommended by a family friend, was responsive on the phone when we first cal...led, kept us informed of case status over an eight month period, provided clear and reasonable guidance about legal alternatives and costs, and made all court appearances and filings required to get our son's case dismissed. Richard was thorough and our son was very effectively represented. The result of avoiding a felony conviction was the best result we could have hoped for. The legal fee cost was reasonable given the situation we faced. While we hope our son will not need Richard to represent him again in the future, we will certainly hire Richard again if we need criminal legal defense representation. We recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney.

I am going through a tough situation in Highlands County. I called Richard hoping that he would use his expertise to help me with my case. Since he has wored in POLK county I figured it wouldn't be hard for him to take one case in Highlands. He was very rude, and just blatantly didn't want to help m...e, I tried everything to politely ask him that is was very crucial for me. Even though my case is in Highlands County I felt that an attorney who cares would have tried to help, maybe even call his colleagues to see if he could refer me to someone. This case is crucial to my future. I currently have a case in the court of appeals, so if I get a V.O.P for something coincidental my case in the court of appeals can go down the drain. My goals to finish school and get into a medical program will cease and my future crushed forever. I didn't hire Richard Hornsby and its sad that he could help. If the Medical Industry functioned like our judicial system we would be in real deep problems.
