A lawyer that cares

Charlton has to be one of the brightest, wittiest and most dedicated Attorneys I have ever experienced. Countless times through the day and night Charlton has reached out to me not only pertaining to my case but to me personally as far as my well being and just being sure I was okay in life. In the c...ourt his tenacity and ability to convey the details of the the evidence to the jury is unparalleled. It seemed at times he was so clever he actually had the defense attorney explaining the evidence more in my favor than his own client! To sum it up, I would have to say not only will I hire Charlton again but it’s not a day go by that I do not refer someone to him. His service and overall concern is unmatched by far with anything I have ever experienced or witnessed!

Client

Mr. Hornsby is simply amazing! I never needed an attorney before, but upon hiring Mr. Hornsby he cared for me and my family like his own. His level of courtesy and professionalism exceeded my expectations. Mr Hornsby is not only knowledgeable in his field, but also takes time to educate his clients. ...I really appreciate that quality in him. I would recommend his services for anyone needing legal services!!!!

Wrongful death accident

I was a young woman and a newlywed when I lost my husband in a bulldozer accident. I hired Mr. Hornsby to represent me in this difficult time. He cared about me and helped me get through it. I was referred to him by one of his church members who said he was a good and honest man and a good lawyer.... She was right. He was all of those things. But to see him in court in front of the judge and jury was truly special. If I ever need a lawyer again I will hire Mr. Hornsby and if you are looking for a lawyer you should hire him too!!!

Client

Charlton Hornsby was hired by myself to assist me with a child support/ custody issue. He was very professional and knowledgeable of the civil process and family code. Hornsby’s character and integrity went above and beyond the call of duty. He never lied or told me anything he couldn’t do. He allowe...d me to voice my thoughts and opinions. He gave me professional guidance which, ultimately worked out in my favor. His main concern was to make sure I was updated and informed on the totality of the circumstances. I’m honored to have had him as my attorney. I was taught never trust an attorney, they will lie to you and take your money. Well let’s just say I was lied to from my family. I trusted and still trust Hornsby, because I know he has my best interest in mind. I would recommend him to anyone.

Greatest Attorney Ever

Charlton was one of the hired Attorneys on our team of lawyers in a wrongful death case. He was not my actual attorney but if it was not for him we would not have won the case. He was very informative, patient and worked well with our family. Breaking things down so that we could understand. At the... time my anxiety was very high. It was a very long case 7 years, out of our life. Although he was not my direct attorney, I found we when we would meet that he was the most thorough attorney on staff. I actually stopped discussing things with my hired attorney and started referring to him. He genuinely took interest in the well-being of my son when.all the other attorney's was trying to get money. Even after the lawsuit we stayed in touch and he has now become our family attorney. I have referred him to just about everyone I now with legal issues and he has been nothing less but awesome!

Personal injury lawyer | May 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Charlton and I were opposing counsel in a high stakes personal injury/wrongful death case. Many issues in the case were highly contested and the trial lasted four weeks. Throughout the entire litigation, Charlton was tough and zealous advocate for his client while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I endorse Charlton without reservation."

Trucking accident lawyer | Apr 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known and worked with Charlton Hornsby many times over the past 25 years. Charlton is an excellent communicatior and very persuasive advocate. We recently worked on a case against an 18-wheeler company where the investigating officer put the fault of the accident on Charlton's client. After spending a lot of time and resources on the case, Charlton was able to obtain a very large settlement from the company that denied all liability for the accident. Charlton's relentless pursuit of justice in that case convinced the trucking company that Charlton was right and their driver was at fault for causing the accident. A less-committed lawyer would have lost that case. But that's not Charlton."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have known Charlton Hornsby for over 30 years. I have tried multiple cases with Charlton including cases involving trucking, product liability against GM, medical malpractice involving wrongful death, and catastrophic injury, and cases involving fatal burns at apartment complexes. In each and every case I have found Charlton to be knowledgeable in the applicable law of the case and well prepared on the facts. Charlton has a tremendous court room presence that has helped considerably in reaching good outcomes for the clients."

Personal injury lawyer | Sep 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Charlton in the past in a case where we were both ad litems. In that case I saw Charlton look after a minor's interest with the care and attention of a true professional. Circumstances dictated that he would not be paid for all of his time and attention to the matter through no fault of his own or his client. Nevertheless, Charlton performed perfectly and thoroughly and with the joy that is apparent on the face of an attorney that has done what he went to law school to do. A joy that comes from helping people. That case is only one expression of what I know Charlton has been doing his entire career."
