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.

"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."
"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."
"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."

Adam is very experienced in handling sexual abuse cases, and he has been recognized throughout the United States for his highly skilled advocacy. Recently, he received the award of "Most Effective Lawyer - Personal Injury" from the Daily Business Review; it was well deserved."
