David L. Smith, P.L.L.C.

Mr. Horne is by far the most dedicated and professional attorney I have ever worked with. I had a very complicated Virginia Retirement System Medical Disability claim because my Workers Compensation attorney (not connected to Mr. Horne at all, but from a large local firm) gave me bad advice concerning the Worker’s Comp and VRS statutes. Mr. Horne understood exactly what happened and then went above and beyond to really figure out the best tactic to get my claim approved despite the previous situation. I am so thankful for Mr. Horne’s ability to streamline the process, get to the heart of the matter and get the job done very quickly. Mr Horne puts attorneys to shame with his ability to really dig into the details of the case. At every meeting Mr. Horne knew all of the important details and issues and knew exactly how to put the big picture together and help me win my VRS disability retirement! I only wish I had retained Mr. Horne from the moment I was injured at work because I would have saved years of time getting everything settled. Mr Horne comes with my highest recommendation and if you are medically unable to work for any reason and are applying to the Virginia Retirement System, call him immediately. The paperwork and documentation is more in depth than anyone tells you and despite the great help on the phone with VRS staff, outside medical professionals are reviewing the information and it is not easy to build a medical case on your own. I know without Mr. Horne I would not have been successful with my claim! Mr. Horne is the only reason today that I was able to get the back pay I was entitled to and now I have my full medical retirement thanks only to his hard work and dedication to me as a client.

Mr. Horne thoroughly reviewed all of my medical records and answered all of my questions. My case took nearly 3 years to be successfully handled, but Mr. Horne helped me through the process with patience and understanding. I highly recommend him to anyone facing similar circumstances. It is a truly difficult situation, but it is made immensely better by his professionalism and courtesy. Thank you so much for all your help, Mr. Horne!

I found Mr. David Horne via internet research for disability lawyers. Even through the pandemic, he worked diligently and was very responsive and thorough. Mr. Horne meticulously went through 20 YEARS of medical records to build a case for my final appeal. He included a very detailed brief for my case which was extremely helpful. We received a favorable decision for my final appeal and I am extremely appreciative to have had him working my case! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a disability lawyer!

Attorney David Horne was phenomenal to work with. He took my case in which VRS denied my medical retirement after being hurt while I was on duty. Attorney Horne was extremely professional, reliable, and kept me informed during the entire duration of my case. I highly recommend hiring Att. Horne if you need any assistance with LODA and VRS cases.

Mr. Horne was instrumental in getting me approved for my VRS retirement. From the first meeting, I felt completely confident in his abilities to represent me, and he did nothing but surpass my expectations. I have already recommended him to several people needing assistance with disability, and will definitely continue to do so in the future.
