Horowitz Law was established by the husband and wife legal team of Sanford and Christy Horowitz. Sanford and Christy are extremely skilled and effective trial lawyers with experience, energy and compassion.
Their partnership as husband and wife uniquely broadens their ability to explore all sides of a case and find opportunities for their client's success, especially in the areas of criminal defense, family law, and civil and criminal tax litigation.
Both Sanford and Christy Horowitz are veteran prosecutors. Prior to establishing Horowitz Law, they worked as Deputy District Attorneys, Sanford with the San Diego District Attorney's office and the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office, and Christy with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office before that.
Sanford worked as an investigator in white collar crime for IRS: tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, public corruption and bribery. He also worked narcotics trafficking and alien smuggling investigations and prosecutions with the US Attorneys Office.
Sanford Horowitz is an adjunct professor of law at University of San Diego School of Law in their graduate tax program.
