My favorite quote is from a history lesson in Elementary School: In this country, the individual is the reservoir of Civil Rights. A record of experience in local government matched by few members of the legal profession; from community service to business owner to elected office and government employee. If for any reason, positive or negative, you or a loved one are trying to make your way throug
h a maze of government regulations, our experience can act as your guiding light, a shield or your sword. From Employment Law to Education Law to building code violations and in so many other ways that government may touch your life, an attorney with real life practical advice and knowledge is what is needed. A strong advocate of children and management rights when entrusted with the interests of his neighbors as an elected member of a local school board—he describes the nine years as “…one of the most meaningful and productive periods in my life.”
Mr. Horn moved to the other side of the table just a year later to become a strong and reasonable labor leader. For more than a decade, through innovative negotiations and broad-based changes, the expectations of a battered workforce and a dysfunctional municipal bureaucracy were reformed. Leading a small team comprised of members from labor and management, the previously untouchable subjects, such as “comparable worth” and the productivity life cycle moved from the halls of academia into reality and began to change the lives of ordinary men and women. Horn’s efforts and ideas meant success for those he worked for and respect for those who thought themselves at cross-purposes with the public goals of those represented by this local leader. Horn's "fresh eyes" have found an overlooked path that led to a solution that others missed, and instead settled for what was less than fair. Some History:
