From 27 Convictions to Counsel in Federal Court:
“How a Legal Rebel Is Redefining Consumer Protection Across America”
Joshua Shane Horton, Esq. — a 27-time convict — is now a nationally recognized consumer protection lawyer, solar panel fraud attorney, and fintech litigation attorney. Discover how Legal Rebels Law is fighting predatory lenders, corporate misconduct, and deceptive trade practices nationwide.
Rising From Rock Bottom to the Courtroom
Most people would never expect a consumer rights attorney to have once been on the other side of the law. But Joshua Shane Horton’s story is anything but ordinary. A former convict and high school dropout, Horton overcame addiction, incarceration, and trauma to become one of America’s fiercest advocates for justice.
Today, as founder of Legal Rebels Law, he leads a mission-driven firm representing clients nationwide in patient brokering, consumer protection lawsuits, solar panel fraud cases, fintech fraud litigation, and predatory lending claims. His story is proof that redemption is not only possible — it can become the driving force behind real systemic change.
A Mission to “Give a Voice to the Voiceless”
Legal Rebels Law was built on a simple but radical belief: justice should serve people, not power. Horton and his team focus on the kinds of cases many firms avoid — taking on deceptive trade practices, wrongful debt collections, corporate misconduct, and fraudulent solar panel companies that exploit everyday Americans.
Horton calls this approach the “Dark Horse Mentality” — fearlessly standing up to massive corporations, fintech lenders, and unscrupulous installers that prey on consumers.
From JAMS arbitration battles against predatory finance companies to class actions over solar scams, to federal bankruptcy court, Legal Rebels Law is on the front lines of consumer advocacy.
From GED and Behind Bars to National Litigation Leader
Joshua’s journey is as inspiring as it is improbable. After taking his GED while intoxicated “for fun,” he graduated magna cum laude from the University of Mississippi and cum laude from Ole Miss Law. He went on to serve as a public defender, clerk for a federal judge, and advise lawmakers on opioid and justice reform policies.
Today, he and his firm lead high-stakes consumer protection litigation nationwide — challenging fraudulent finance schemes, deceptive marketing practices, and predatory lending operations that violate state and federal law.
Fighting Fraud Nationwide: How Legal Rebels Law Helps Consumers
Legal Rebels Law represents individuals and families across the United States in a range of complex legal matters, including:
- Solar panel fraud lawsuits: Holding installers, lenders, and sales companies accountable for false promises, deceptive contracts, and misrepresented savings.
- Fintech litigation: Pursuing claims against predatory digital lenders, loan servicers, and fintech platforms engaging in deceptive trade practices.
- JAMS arbitration: Leveraging arbitration clauses to pursue justice when corporations try to evade court liability.
- Predatory lending lawsuits: Fighting back against illegal loan terms, unauthorized accounts, and fraudulent lending schemes.
- Patient Brokering arises from the illegal practice of paying, receiving, or soliciting compensation for patient referrals to substance abuse treatment centers, sober homes, or healthcare facilities. It targets individuals and entities engaged in what is essentially a kickbackscheme in the addiction treatment and behavioral health industry.
- Deceptive trade practices claims: Challenging false advertising, unfair billing, and corporate fraud under consumer protection laws.
Whether you’re dealing with a fraudulent solar system, an abusive lender, or a deceptive financial product, Legal Rebels Law is ready to fight for your rights — from Florida to California and everywhere in between.
A Blueprint for Redemption — and Justice
Joshua’s forthcoming book, A Legal Rebel – No Matter What, blends Stoic philosophy, Christian faith, and legal theory and strategy into a manifesto (spiritual jiu jitsu) for transforming pain into purpose. His journey — from addiction and incarceration to national leadership in consumer rights litigation — proves that rock bottom isn’t the end; it’s the foundation for rebuilding.
Through speaking events, policy advocacy, and courtroom battles, Horton continues to push for a more just system — one where corporations are held accountable and the “least” among us are protected.
