Review Michael Horn

Outstanding Service

Posted by

I have never needed an attorney before and working with Mr. Horn made the situation bareable and painless. Its not a fun thing to have to hire an attorney but if you need one I highly recommend Mr. Horn and his staff. Explanations were clear, updates were given as received, reasonable appointment times, and if any doubts arose Mr. Horn was available to clarify. Mr. Horn went above and beyond for me and I can't thank him enough!

Michael has done more for my case in one hearing then my prior attorney had done in 3 years. I truly recommend him to anyone who is needing their voice to be heard in the courtroom.

Bankruptcy

He really new what he was doing. His knowledge of the laws and policies were on the mark. He told us what to expect. He tried to made us feel very comfortable. He was very efficient in doing his job.

Finally found someone to help me get my divorce!

Posted by

Michael was very informative and fast in getting my divorce. He just finallized it on Dec 22nd, 2014. I only hired him a short time and boom I got everything I needed for the best interest of my children.

Finally a lawyer who helped me... !!

Posted by

I 've spent a lot of money on lawyers with business and personal needs over the last ten years.. and so many of them it felt like had their own idea of how i should do things or didn't ask.. so i felt unrepresented too often. Michael not only actually helped me, but was quick and efficient and helped me understand what my choices were and truly represented my concerns and goals without giant dollar signs on the bill!! I not only would recommend him.. but have many times already.
