Approachable but Serious
Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful ...

Won my case
He told me that he hadn't lost a trial in a long time and he didn't want mine to break the streak. I didn't either ! We went to trial and he was in control of the courtroom. He was totally prepared. But I was still worried because the prosecutor was very good as well. Daniel was confident but ho...

Very Caring Individual
Daniel handled my divorce back in 1991 and is a very understanding and caring person who took care of my needs with patience and understanding. He is one of a very few of that special breed. Wish to God there were more like him. Thanks Daniel.

Daniel Aaron Horowitz's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I've seen him do a closing argument and, after he was done, he had accomplished what we all aspire to do: make everyone in the courtroom think "how could there possibly be a way that I would believe any other argument?""
"Mr. Horowitz is one of the most exemplary and extraordinary attorneys that I have encountered in 24 years of practice. Despite being a judge, magistrate, prosecutor, and private attorney for nearly two and a half decades, I continue to learn valuable information from his posts every day. I would highly recommend."
"Attorney Horowitz works extremely hard for his clients and truly acts as their champion. He knows his stuff, really cares about his clients and gets great results. If I had to choose a lawyer to represent me, Attorney Horowitz would be the one. I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking the best representation."
"An excellent lawyer with a pristine reputation."
"Mr. Horowitz is known to be an excellent and capable criminal defense attorney"
"I endorse this lawyer's work: trustworthy, conscientious, hardworking and fundamentally dedicated to every Client, familiar Californians recognize that Mr. Horowitz is an excellent defense attorney who is a beneficial asset to Lafayette and the entire DUI Defense Bar community. Any person in need of a premier criminal defense lawyer will know he or she is in capable hands. For a number of reasons (but without enough character space to properly do this fine attorney justice), I am honored to endorse this superb lawyer."
"I have known Dan for almost 20 years, and he is quite simply one of the best criminal defense attorneys around."
"Daniel A. Horowitz is the best litigator I have ever watched in trial - and I've watched some excellent criminal defense lawyers over the last 19 years - from J. Tony Serra (California) to Philip H. Lowenthal (Hawaii). He is factually very astute and knows the evidence code inside and out. He also uses technology efficiently and creatively. He is also extremely aggressive when necessary and fights with vigor and integrity for his clients."
