Talk to Our Team – Working at Van Horn Law Group

Wondering what it’s like working at Van Horn Law Group? You’re in luck. Here, we’ll take a look at the many reasons why the team at Van Horn love what they do – and where they work!

A Colorful Team of Attorneys

Working in a law office must mean working in a buttoned-up, boring setting, right? Not if you’re working at Van Horn Law Group. Here, the employees are more likely to have fun with the attorneys leading successful cases than to worry that they’ll upset them by enjoying themselves too much at work.

That’s because Managing Partner and attorney Chad Van Horn does his best to create an environment where everyone – from those who have just hired in to those who have been with the company since its inception – feel welcome, comfortable, and proud of what’s going on. The formula that Van Horn and his associates have figured out is one that allows for all of this, with colorful characters like Stephen M. Weinstein Esq. who is just as well known for his guitar skills as his legal prowess or Terri Schwartz who is known as a “beast” at what she does, this practice knows how to have fun while getting things done.

However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t still a dynamite team of legal professionals. Far from it. In fact, working at Van Horn Law Group means working with some of Florida’s best, most experienced, and most knowledgable legal professionals. It means combining a passion for public service with a love of the law and upholding the ideals of what is right – and helping people find justice there!

Growth That Never Ceases

One of the things that employees love about working at Van Horn Law Group is the environment of consistent and ongoing growth and development that the practice has fostered. Employees at every level and in every position are encouraged to continually improve not only in their current area, but in every possible way. This helps people to create better versions of themselves and realizes goals that they might never have even dreamed of chasing before their employment at Van Horn.

Take Office Manager and paralegal Martha Cayoas a prime example of this. Cayo was born in Puerto Rico and raised in both Montreal, Canada and Miami, Florida. Her diverse background and take-charge attitude helped her secure a position at Van Horn, despite having no experience in law. She was not satisfied to work forever in a clerical position, however.

Cayo took note of just how much of a difference was being made in people’s lives by the work the legal team did and decided that she wanted to be part of that difference herself. Within a few years, Martha had obtained her legal degree and was promoted to the position of paralegal, eventually splitting those duties with that of office manager full time. Hers is just one of many examples of how employees at the Van Horn Law Group are able to work toward a better, more fulfilling future while working in a supportive environment in the meantime.
