This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Compassionate Professional Respresentation

I would not have been able to endure the case regarding my mother's death without the caring and compassionate expertise of Stephen Hornbuckle and The Hornbuckle Law Firm. Every concern my family has had has been addressed in a timely and professional manor, even during times of great emotion. I high...ly recommend this Attorney and this Law Firm. They put themselves in your shoes.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
