Worker's Compensation Claim

Craig is a very caring and sensitive attorney. He came completely prepared for the hearing as he represented me with my claim. He continues to update me on the matters concerning the case, providing me with counseling and direction.

Estate Planning

Attny Horbus handled our estate planning documents including living trust, last will and testament and durable POA. Attny Horbus also assisted in handling my brothers estate with out of state attnys which was very complex but he handled it with utmost care and professionalism which we greatly appreci...ated. He also prepared a property easement which enabled us and adjoining property owners mutual access. We have highly recommended him to many of our friends and family members for a variety of legal issues.

Extremely knowledgeable in law and tech

As a technology service provider, I often have legal questions or issues related to our business. I have not met another lawyer that is more knowledgeable of technology issues than Craig. It is extremely helpful to not have to explain the technical terminology or concepts to Craig related to a lega...l need. In addition, I don't have to worry about the information being misinterpreted. He is also prompt and thorough in his work. I would recommend Craig.

Huh?

Honest guy, keeps me out of trouble and doesn't waste my time to feed at the trough. Craig is also not afraid to tell me to do things on my own or to seek other people out when I am outside of his area of expertise. Is am very green when it comes to contract negotiations and business risk. Craig ha...s given me sound advice and I have felt a great value for his time.What more could you ask for?

Understands what it takes to buy/sell a small business

I have used Attorney Horbus on several occasions. He has helped me purchase and sell businesses. He has excellent legal knowledge on business law. I especially enjoy his ease of communication and the fact that he takes the time to know the wishes of his client. Most importantly, I trust Attorney... Horbus. I plan on using him again in my future business ventures.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
