Jennifer Ellen Horwitz

My boyfriend got falsely charged with an assault DV charge on NYE against me, based on false accusations by a bystander to the cops. I wanted to do whatever was in my power to help the case, so I hired Jennifer to represent me and my side of the story. She came highly rated on avvo and with good reas...on. Jennifer is a very sharp, intuitive, empathetic and passionate lawyer. She is an excellent orator in the courtroom and is well known and respected in the Seattle courts. She worked closely with my boyfriend’s attorney and brought us the best outcome possible in the most timely fashion, a dismissal at the first Pretrial Hearing. Throughout the process, Jennifer was extremely sweet and patient with me, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns with excellent legal advice. Being the alleged victim’s advocate, she helped present my side very accurately, both to my boyfriend’s lawyer as well as in the hearings to dismiss the No Contact Order that was issued. At every step, she walked me through the process and did a great job of managing my expectations, while ensuring I didn’t lose heart. I highly recommend Jennifer as a DV attorney not just for victims/alleged victims but also the accused. Jennifer’s experience in this field shows through clearly in her quick and quality work. She does not hesitate to call a spade a spade and looks out for her client’s best interest.

My daughter was so lucky to find Jennifer Horwitz to represent her. She is very professional and also extremely dedicated and caring. She was always available when we needed her. She made a very stressful time in our lives a lot easier to cope with. We liked the fact that she handles everything ...herself instead of other people doing her work. She would find answers to any questions that arose. We would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone that needs an attorney in her field.

We hired Jennifer to represent me after an unfortunate incident led to me being arrested and having domestic violence charges filed against me. I am so glad that we went with Jennifer. From day one, she worked tirelessly to represent me and to help to present the mitigating factors to the prosecutor.... This incident was a direct result of my mental health issues and Jennifer was so compassionate during this difficult time and also very supportive of my treatment. I was also dealing with potential damage to my professional licensure, and Jennifer connected me with knowledgeable attorneys who were able to advise me how to handle this situation with minimal damage to my career. I was always impressed with how quickly Jennifer responded to my inquiries. Her expertise made this difficult process as smooth as possible. When presented with difficult decisions, Jennifer always took my input into account and was understanding when I had to make certain decisions to continue to protect my mental health and my healing from this issue. I am so thankful that we hired Jennifer to represent me as I could not have asked for an attorney who was more knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in this difficult situation.

I was going through a divorce when I was charged with a domestic violence case. I originally hired the firm that was working on my divorce but after the first court appearance I realized I needed better support. I contacted Jennifer through her web site and she immediately contacted me. After our i...nitial consultation I was immediately impressed with the dialog we had and the depth of understanding she had. My case was especially complex because it also tied into the divorce case because the outcome of the this case was closely tied to the amount of custody I received. Jennifer conducted investigations and reviewed every angle. and worked with my divorce attorney every step of the way to make sure these cases lined up. It was extremely important that the outcome of this case line up with the divorce case because of the custody of my son. Ultimately the case was dismissed and Jennifer was their every step of the way making it better to deal with. Jennifer’s professionalism and knowledge was greatly appreciated

I never had a single incident with the law until a vindictive ex tried to ruin my life. I found myself facing a domestic violence charge which was a gross misdemeanor but it carried much the same burden as a felony if a conviction were to occur. After spending a few days in jail for something I didn'...t do, I knew I had to find the best criminal defense attorney in Seattle. I am in a successful professional career and a conviction on my record would mean never being able to pass a background check and thus never being able to get hired in my field. Like another reviewer mentioned, I too interviewed many attorneys and the choice became increasingly obvious. Jennifer listened to my side of the story with an open mind and fought vigorously on my behalf. Jennifer knows how the Seattle criminal justice system works and how the prosecutors think, as she has been practicing here for around two decades. Jennifer used a creative array of different legal techniques to methodically expose the lies in the prosecution's case against me. The end result was a dismissal of my case a few weeks prior to trial. I could not be happier as I finally got my life back. Had the case went to trial, I am confident Jennifer would have won. She was able to expose many lies and discrepancies in the accuser's story which would've destroyed their credibility right off the bat. When you hire Jennifer you get her full attention as she will personally handle every aspect of your case-- unlike some of the other big attorney names out here who work at firms and use their underlings to carry out much of the work for the case. Jennifer is easy to get a hold of and is very quick to respond through calls, texts or emails. Finally, if you do research on the education of every top-rated criminal defense attorney in Seattle you too will see that Jennifer's Ivy League background from Harvard Law gives her the edge
