Truly, thankful!

I was in need of an attorney that could handle a criminal case and my divorce attorney recommended Robert Hornsby. I did not feel like I had a criminal case and thanks to the hard work of Mr. Hornsby the case was dismissed.

Richard Horsby was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. He is wicked smart and really made a difference in my case and my life. Richard got the case dismissed with nothing but the truth! He has a concise, terse, pithy personality, but I recommend him with all my heart. Thank you, Richard! You really helped me, and my family close the chapter on this incident.
