WORKERS COMPENSATION EXPERT

I utilized the legal services of Michael Horowitz in 2014 & recently this year.There are no words to describe the expertise, & dedication this attorney has for his clients. He always places his clients first, & treats them as though they are family.His unique style in negotiating his clients' WC l...egal issue is remarkable, leaving the client relieved that a professional is on their side. I highly recommend him. If there were 10 stars, he would get a 10 rating.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Horowitz was recommended to me by a good friend of mine, after I was injured at my job and denied workers compensation, and sent to an incompetent doctor who tried to convince me that I was ok to go back to work and that my injury was not work related. I decided to hire Michael to help me get the... justice I deserved. In just a few months my case was settled! This gentleman knows the law, and he took his time to go through every detail of my case. He is also very considerate and always seem concerned how I was coping health wise. He did an awesome job on settling my case at mediation, and my family and I are very happy that he took my case. Without hesitation I would recommend Mr. Horowitz to anyone who needs a good lawyer to represent them in their workers comp case. Being injured is depressing enough, so it’s really great when you have an attorney who reallly cares and will put all their effort into helping you get the best results. His legal assistant Diane is great and very pleasant to speak with. If this review had 10 stars, my attorney would deserve that. Thank you Michael Horowitz!!!

Excellent representation

Mr. Horowitz and his staff did an excellent job handling my worker comp claim. They really care about you on a personal level. I can't thank Mr. Horowitz, Jeanette and the rest of the staff enough.

The Best Lawyer I have ever known

Michael has been representing me for almost three years. I came to him after firing another lawyer who was trying to settle my case after a month in the system and no medical care. I was gun shy when I met with Michael and he had to gain my confidence. He did just that. I too had to learn something ...about the work comp system but Michael treated me with respect and was alway on point. I suffered life altering injuries at work. Michael has been there for me almost from the beginning and despite very difficult circumstances stuck next to me. I trust Michael completely. He truely cares about his clients and is extremely honest. Going through the workers comp system is trying, many lawyers out in the system are trying to settle your case quickly and move on to the next case. THATS NOT MICHAEL! Aside from being a top notch lawyer he has become a real friend to me and my family. He is sincere and passionate about his profession. I absolutely recommend him!
