Prenup preparation

Adam prepared a prenup for me in December and did an absolutely amazing job! My now husband and I decided to elope and had only a month to get everything ready, including the prenup. Adam was able to pull everything we wanted together quickly and efficiently. And I really appreciated him taking the t...ime to make changes and explain all the legal definitions. I would strongly recommend him for anyone looking for a similar service.

Excellent responsive service on child support case

I can't say enough positive things about Adam Horwitz. I've been on the receiving end of child support and custody issues for over 10 years now, so I've worked with numerous lawyers. In this most recent case, Adam immediately saw some glaring holes in the strategy I had developed and gave me a clear ...plan of action - and it worked flawlessly. He was always accessible, returned my calls very quickly, and was extremely reasonable on billing. Highly recommended.

One of the best

Adam represented me in my custody, and child support cases. Adam was extremely knowledgeable of all my issues. He was very professional, and very sensitive to the needs of my case. I would highly recommend him.

Fantasic Attorney

Adam represented me in my divorce, custody, and child support cases. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and competent in handling all my issues. He also was incredibly courteous and professional, and very sensitive to the needs of my case. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
