Extraordinary

If I could give more stars, I would. I hired another law firm to handle my case which was a big mistake. Needless to say I was very unhappy. I decided to seek another counsel and came across Horowitz Law. Their website specifies exactly what type of firm I needed. I placed an inquiry on the website, ...did not provide much info other than my name and number. Mr. Horowitz reached out to me within hours!!!! When speaking with him, he made me feel comfortable, I trusted him because based on our conversation I knew he was more than competent and his expertise speaks for itself. He and Elana Goodman were sensitive to my needs, took complete charge of my case and provided extraordinary results. I had 100% trust in them, which is exactly what you need from your attorneys. The comfort level that I had in them was more than I can ever express. My only regret is that I didn’t hire them from the beginning. I highly recommend this firm, I highly recommend Mr. Horowitz and Ms. Goodman. They are excellent in what they do, honest, direct and experts. Thank you a million times over for representing and understanding me. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Trustworthy and Steadfast

I was abused by a Catholic priest as an adult. My case was very unusual, and Horowitz Law took it on not only because they believed me, but because they believed in me. This was a humiliating experience, and I was besieged with mental health issues due to the abuse I had endured. I could be difficult... at times, but Jessica Arbor never gave up on me and always had my best interest at heart. She is incredibly knowledgeable, extremely compassionate, and unfailingly tenacious. Jessica and Adam handled my mediation with the utmost of care. Their wisdom and experience helped guide me to the results I wanted while always respecting my desires and frustrations. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of their work, and I am so glad I trusted them with my case. I will forever be indebted to them for all that they have done and continue to do even after my mediation closed. Taking abusers and their organizations to task can be daunting and scary, I had almost given up all hope until Jessica responded to my online inquiry. Surviving abuse is extremely complicated, difficult, and isolating. If you are seeking justice for your abuse, Horowitz Law is the firm you want representing you.

Empathetic, Compassionate, Honest and Aggressive

Adam is an attorney with a unique combination of abilities. I contacted him and within 15 minutes on a Sunday evening he called me back and discussed my case patiently and for 3 hours! I have never met an attorney who has so much patience, empathy, and compassion for clients. He was a comforting voic...e of compassion and empathy with the heart of a tiger in litigation where he cared about what happened to me and listened and when it came down to fight for me he was as fierce as a tiger! I would recommend Adam and do recommend him if the situation arises because he is the best of the best!!! He fights for what he believes in and gets the job done while being honest about every step in the process along the way. He also let me know that my feelings were normal for the circumstances of what happened to me and never made me feel like I was less than or beneath him but instead he treated me like a person making me feel very comfortable and at ease when discussing things with him. Thank you Adam for being the admirable person you are and God bless you for everything you do for those suffering in their situation. I wish you the best always! Gods blessings to you and yours!

Dedicated, hard-working and effective - I certainly reccomend!

From the very first day I reached out to Adam, he was immediately responsive. Throughout the entire case Adam worked tirelessly to gain all the information and facts. His expertise in this area proved extremely effective, also allowing him to walk me through the process step-by-step. He is a true adv...ocate for his clients, helping them make sense of it all. In something that can be a difficult process I can confidently say that I could not have done it without Adam. He is professional, caring and passionate about what he does. I am so thankful to have had him as my lawyer throughout this process and would highly recommend him to anyone in my situation.

My experience

My experience with Adam as a attorney was one of compassion and understanding, whilst I was very embarrassed to expose my abuse, I found Adam to be very caring and empathic. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone who has been abused in the past and wants justice from the perpetrators, Adam will go ...to any lengths to help you. I know that not only was Adam a great attorney but he was also my biggest advocate and I can never really thank him enough.

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."

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."
