Amazing

DeeDee Scheller was AMAZING! She was always there for me for both the criminal and civil suite. I was a complete mess there were so many times I never thought I would make it through this. She was always encouraging and even allowed me to have her cell number to call when I needed. She went above and... beyond to make me feel like I was prepared for everything and was extremely compassionate. I’m so grateful I had her as an advocate as well as the whole team of lawyers, paralegals and secretaries.

Personal injury lawyer | Dec 17

Relationship: Co-worker

"Adam is a tireless advocate for his clients, all of whom are survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. In 2009, he was named Most Effective Attorney in Personal Injury by the Daily Business Review for his work in a landmark case centering on the interpretation of a treaty between the United States and the Sioux Nation, authored in 1868. Adam literally created new law and secured justice for his client, a young Sioux woman who had been raped by her Army recruiter. Adam is well-respected by those in the Miami legal community for his intelligence, enthusiasm, and tenacity."

Personal injury lawyer | Sep 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I defended a very complex injury case against Adam. The nature of the medical and legal issues were highly uncommon and novel. The case also featured complex insurance coverage issues. Adam was able to fight through and achieve a favorable outcome for his clients where another attorney might have thrown in the towel."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Adam is an exceptional attorney. For many years, he has devoted his law practice to working on behalf of sexual abuse victims. His work in this area of the law is unparalled and the many accolades he has received are well-deserved. His cases against churches and other institutions that employed sexual abusers are truly ground-breaking. These are difficult cases which require an attorney with compassion for his clients; access to top experts; and knowledge of the subject matter. Adam Horowitz has these skills and I highly recommend him as an attorney."
