Tom Horne

Tom Horne was a godsend to me when I needed it most. Thank you, Lord! I am a state employee that was wrongfully terminated. My discharge was based on nothing but pure retaliation. State employees have less rights then normal folks. Overall, I had hired three attorneys that ended up screwing up my ca...se royally. I followed all the rules regarding my termination. I filed with the EEOC, received right to sue the State from Washington D.C. that agreed there was an error in my termination. My first attorney buckled upon the first phone call conversation with the Attorney General’s office. He changed the direction of my case that I did not want to go and without permission and after he did and was called on it, he immediately wanted off the case. The second attorney was hired. She completely abandoned my case and did nothing which lead me to the third attorney (a well-known firm). I felt confident after the meeting that they could accomplish the goal of getting my case back on track and winning. The senior attorney (owner) stated he would oversee the case but wanted to have a junior attorney be on it as well to learn. Big mistake, he actually handed off the case to Junior that ended up screwing up my case even more. They did not listen to my request to be present during dispositions and lack of communication on keeping me posted and timelines were missed. Because of this the AG’s office was able to be awarded a “judgment summary” against me, which means my case was won by the State without a day in court or one piece of evidence ever being seen by a jury. This lead me to Tom Horne, a former “Attorney General”. I needed an attorney that could appeal the summary judgment at the 9th District of Appeals and was not afraid to take on the Attorney General’s office. He reviewed my case and immediately took it on. He was so kind, calm, and confident during the whole process while educating me on what to expect. He was my last hope of getting my case back in court and getting my career back. I have been working in this field since I was 19 years old. This whole process has been going on since 2014. OMG, HE DID IT!!! We won the appeal and it has been ordered back to Federal Court for trial. As of right now, this is where I am in the process. This was a MAJOR victory that I could not let go without showing appreciation and a HUGE shout out of “THANK YOU!” My hope of justice has been restored to this point. Once I win in Federal Court, and I will. I will be posting another review to provide follow-up with my case and the outcome. If you are feeling all hope is lost with your case then you need to speak to Tom. I can tell you from experience that attorneys have the gift of gab and can sell you promises on what they might be able to do but Tom Horne can show you RESULTS on how it is done pure and simple. If YOU are reading this review and are looking for an attorney hang in there. I was doing the same thing you are doing right now feeling hopeless, lost, and praying for someone to help me. If you are a STATE employee then there is NO DOUBT this is the attorney you will need PERIOD to fight your case. A big shout out to Tom’s staff that are the nicest ladies to deal with and their kindness and understanding helped me through a very dark period in my life by being the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
