About Neil A. Horn
My practice focuses on criminal and traffic defense. I started life as a prosecutor and then went out on my own in 2004. In my almost 28 years of lawyering, I've handling all kinds of cases, from drunk in public to capital murder. I also served 6 years as a substitute general district court judge presiding over criminal, traffic and civil cases. In March 2024, I moved my office to Salem, Virginia right next to Roanoke. My focus remains on criminal defense, but I have increased my specialization in DUI and DUID defense. I take advantage of the intensive training provided by NCDD and the VA Bar as often as possible. Contact me for a consultation in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding jurisdictions. I completed the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) Basic Course in 2019 and again in February 2025. I completed the SFST Instructor Course in April 2025. I completed the DRE (Drug Recognition Expert) Introductory Course in May 2025. I completed the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement course (ARIDE) in June 2025. You will find my experience and training is far more advanced than most practitioners in the Roanoke Valley in Virginia.

By Ryan Katz It is no secret that Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is vastly changing the landscape of many different fields. While the practice of law is certainly not something anybody would want to be taken over by AI in any major way, AI is still a tool which has applications for lawyers.

Oral Fluid Testing: Roadside vs. Evidential Analyses
09/02/2025
Written by Ashley M. Hart As cannabis is being decriminalized in many states, there has been increased interest in rapid roadside tests to detect THC and other substances for intoxicated driving charges. A majority of states now have oral fluid testing in some form: roadside (presumptive) or evidential (confirmed in a lab). These states include Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Connecticut,...
