Charles Richard Horner

I reached out to Charles for a preliminary discussion about a tricky residential situation relating to an occupant with ambiguous legal standing on the property. Even in our brief phone consultation, Charles was able to delineate a clear, strategic pathway, articulating potential steps like utilizing... an ejection remedy and other nuanced approaches. He demonstrated thorough expertise by identifying potential pitfalls and key considerations to avoid legal jeopardy, suggesting that I check for any existing legal documents that could impact the case. Charles provided a helpful preliminary breakdown of potential hours and costs, even outlining a strategy that included both legal and interpersonal considerations, aimed at possibly expediting resolution. Although I've not formally retained Charles, his initial guidance was invaluable. I found that his ability to quickly grasp the nuances of a an unusual situation and propose a viable strategy was truly impressive.

I hired Charles to help me resolve with my landlord tenant issue in November 2020. Charles charged me $550 for his time. Although hiring him made my situation worse because he gave me bad legal advice. He told me to not help my landlord find a new tenant because it wasn’t my responsibility. I did wha...t he said because I thought he knew it better. But it turned out it was a bad idea. I ended up owing more than $10,000 form the property. Later I consulted with another attorney and he told me I should have helped the landlord find new tenant because it shows that i’m trying to help them and that is a good thing and god for my case. And i listed and got a new tenant in 10 days. I would have owed more money if I didn’t help the landlord find a tenant. My experience from hiring Charles was bad and I deeply regretted it. He did not seem professional to me at all. I wish I hadn’t hire him.

A contractor we hired placed unqualified personnel on the job, assigned them work they were not capable of performing correctly, and failed to supervise them adequately. Many facets of the work were defective, including electrical, heating system, tile, manufactured-wood floor installation, and pain...ting. After installing the floor out of compliance with the manufacturer's directions, thus voiding the warranty, the contractor's personnel seriously damaged it, apparently by storing and dropping tools on it. We dismissed the contractor and withheld payment of the latest bill, which the contractor insisted be paid despite the many flaws. We then hired Charles Horner. We found him to be extremely thorough and careful in his research, document preparation, and communications. He went far beyond the normal call of duty in determining fair value for the work performed and documenting the charges we incurred in correcting the many problems. He did not even charge for some of the time he put in on gathering all the data. He represented us well before the opposing attorney, in motion practice with the judge, and with a mediator eventually appointed. We reached a fair settlement that would not have been possible without Charles' highly professional and dedicated work.
