Led by Matthew I. Van Horn since 2001, the Van Horn Law Firm has developed a strong reputation for zealously representing its clients through complex matters and has a track record of obtaining excellent results.  Mr. Van Horn has represented businesses and individuals in adversarial disputes and in trial in federal and state courts throughout the United States.  Mr. Van Horn has tried numerous jury and bench trials in varying venues, ranging from federal courts, to state courts and before federal administrative agencies.  Van Horn uses his background in business, his legal experience in Washington, D.C., along with an ability to effectively communicate, to unwind and provide an easy-to-understand explanation of complicated business scenarios.  One of Van Horn’s mottos is if you can’t easily explain a complicated scenario then you probably don’t understand it well enough.
