Practice Areas

Child Custody 40%

I provide representation in both paternity cases, where the parties are not and have not been married, and in divorce cases. I don't hold myself out as promoting either "father's rights" or "mother's rights" but focus on the needs and best interests of children. I have extensive experience in dealing with interstate laws addressing the registration of and modification of custody orders.

I have had many cases addressing the contested resolution of marital property and those debt responsibilities. I have as well handled a significant number of cases in which I have both pursued and defended against the pursuit of alimony and spousal support.

Solid legal help

I have used James a couple of times for mostly paperwork agreement type things. I'm impressed with both his legal knowledge as well as understanding of human nature and how the real world works. I would not hesitate to recommend James for legal representation, especially if you need someone both aggr...essive and understanding. He gets it done.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"James and I tried one of our first divorce cases together against a "seasoned" divorce attorney in Little Rock. I think the result was better than anyone expected. Since that time, have opposed each other and worked together. He is a formidable opponent and a good co-counsel. He definitely will stand his ground and fight for the best possible outcome for his client."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"James Hornsey is a excellent divorce and criminal defense attorney. I cannot speak to his compliance in other areas, but wager it is also sterling. He possesses an extensive knowledge of the law and is often asked to take the bench when regular judges need a replacement. Highly recommended."

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.
