Tom Horne's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've known Tom for a little while now. I've had the opportunity to see him argue, to listen to him speak, and to see the way he calmly represents and clearly represents others. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone that has a litigation matter to contact Tom. As a fellow lawyer, if I were ever sued, I would want Tom to represent me."
"Mr. Horne is among the most recognized lawyers practicing within the community. His name is very well respected for the unrivaled caliber of representation he provides to his clients."
"Mr. Horne is a very experienced and skilled litigator who fights hard for his clients. I endorse Mr. Horne."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Tom Horne's credentials and qualifications can't be matched. Harvard law, and over 40 years of experience. Former Arizona Attorney General. Former state legislator, and judge. But most importantly of all, he never backs down and he never quits - and that's what you want when your back is up against the wall, and you've got no choice except to litigate. Count on Tom to fight for you."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tom is one of the most intelligent, experienced, diligent, and well grounded lawyers I have ever met and worked for and with. He is also one of the nicest and soft spoken men I have ever met, a rare combination in a lawyer. His court room skills are formidable, both trial and appeal oral argument."
