Great Lawyer during a hard Custody case

I worked with Adam through most of 2016 before my case was transfered out of Philadelphia. I have nothing but good things to say about his counsel and advise during a very difficult and trying time. He was always available to discuss issues with my custody case, and keep my best interests and tho...se of my young son in mind. If you are looking for a family lawyer thay will not only help you through the maze that is family court, but someone to help keep you grounded while you are in probably one of the most difficult times of your life, I highly recommend speaking with Adam. Finally, if your case has multi-state aspects - Adam was able to explain how this even more complicated process works better than just about any lawyer I have spoken to. Even though he is not able to give advice in regards to other states, he has a very good understanding of the process and can help explain things in a clear and understandable way

Caring, knowledgeable, profession attorney

I retained the services of Mr Horwitz on 4 separate occasions regarding issues of custody, child support, and divorce. I returned to him each time based on my prior experiences. Mr. Horwitz is extremely knowledgeable of the law and always offered me realistic expectations for each case. What stoo...d out the most was his level of professionalism. Mr. Horwitz never judged the "other side" in my cases. He focused on the facts as they were and remained cool and level-headed at all times. It was evident that he did not see his role as that of bashing the opposing side but rather securing what was fair according to the law. This positive approach was comforting during such a stressful process. Finally, the office support staff was always kind and respectful. I could generally hear a smile through their voices whenever I called. I never felt like "just another client," and was always asked how I and my children were doing. I highly recommend Mr. Adam Horwitz without reservation.

Custody agreement in place while avoiding court

Adam has provided me excellent custody advice, resulting in a new agreement, while avoiding the tribulations of court. He was knowledgeable, experienced, forthright with his advice, and was great in communicating with his client and the other party's attorney.
