As a former police officer, I know how the system works. If you are looking for a tough, skilled, credible criminal defense attorney, I can offer step-by-step guidance. I will thoroughly investigate your case, present mitigating factors to the prosecutor and fight for the lowest penalty possible. Many prosecutors know that I will not hesitate to take your case to trial if the evidence is in your favor and it is in your best interests.

If you're facing federal charges, it is extremely important for the lawyer you hire to have experience handling federal trials. State and federal courts are very different arenas, each with their own procedures. It takes experience and skill to fight federal prosecutors and agencies such as the IRS, DEA, FBI, FDIC or Department of Justice (DOJ).

Human beings aren't perfect. They make mistakes and commit indiscretions, particularly juveniles who are still maturing. But such transgressions shouldn't ruin a person's life forever. Fortunately, a legal procedure referred to as an expungement is available for many people.
Depending on the circumstances, individuals with prior arrests or convictions in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania for certain offenses can petition the court to "expunge" or seal it from public access.If a court grants the legal pardon, the conviction or arrest is basically treated as if it never occurred.

Where do I even begin from day 1 of meeting Joe and presenting my case to him I felt totally confident. I never really got in trouble like this before , and the charge was a total misunderstanding but it could have went either way . By me not knowing what to expect , he made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole process . The charge was serious and could have impacted my whole life (job etc) depending on the result. He helped me calm down , and take it day by day by guiding me with info with steps to take to help and in the end it was the best outcome . If anyone needs any lawyer get on the

From the moment I walked into his office 2 years ago when my life and career was crumbling apart, Joe put me at ease. He is confident in himself and demands that you are confident in yourself. He had more concern about me as a person and my own personal life and family then the huge case that he was about to take on. Like I said he put me at ease and earned not only my trust but my family's as well.Joe has gone above and beyond what he was paid to do, acting not only as my counsel but treated me as family and a caring friend. He has been there for me in more ways than one and I never expected that

Joe, I'm happy to say I'm finished paying off my fine! I'm truly so grateful for you, you took the time to explain the situation to me and how everything worked. I had no idea what I was facing, but you explained to me the possible outcomes. You put me at such ease keeping me updated on everything! Your expertise gave me the BEST possible outcome I could imagine! I kindly thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting me through that situation, and for believing in me as a person. I HIGHLY recommend anyone dealing with a legal situation to CALL JOE!! HE WILL GET YOU THROUGH IT! JUST LISTEN!

Joe took my son's DUI case where he was issued numerous motor vehicle summonses. Joe's former police officer experience along with his legal expertise helped reduce the summonses issued. He produced reliable resources who examined the incident and determined that the breath tests were incorrectly administered, which resulted in my son walking away with minimal charges. Joe is amazing. He is friendly, easy to talk to and gives detailed direction and explanations. I'm more than satisfied with his service and recommend his office. Thank you, Joe for all you do. Be well.

I hire Joseph as my attorney for some traffic violations I had and man did he do a great job!! The best thing I can say about his service is that you don't have to worry about one thing. He takes care of it all which gave me great peace of mind. No taking time off from my business and losing money to go to court. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good lawyer for a fair price.

Joe's knowledge and experience is exceptional! Very rarely do you get an attorney who creates such a personal relationship with his clients. Bottom line, he cares. Combined with his professionalism and talent, Joe is an attorney that I would recommend highly! Words can not express our appreciation to Joe for personally and professionally helping us through a truly life altering experience.

I have used Joe Horn on numerous occasions and the outcome is always the best. Through Joe's numerous years as a law enforcement officer and as a lawyer his contacts/knowledge are extensive. As far as maintaining contact with me, Joe was on vacation in another country and was still emailing about my case that was 3 weeks away. The man is top notch lawyer and person, and you would be doing a disservice to yourself. Thanks Joe
