"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."
