Professional and Prompt

Retained for Anti-Slapp Case due to numerous false allocations for years that resulted in ongoing court appearances, legal fees, and living in fear. Mr. Horwitz and his staff hit the ground running. Their communications and follow through is absolutely superb. This lawyer cares about you, your inves...tment in his practice and your well being. In my eyes he's been a God sent. I can't emphasize the gratitude we have for him. If you're looking for someone to represent you in an Anti-Slapp, he's your guy! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

Like no other

Unfortunately, I have had the opportunity to test out several different lawyers. My previous experiences almost led me to overlook Mr. Horwitz, who believed we could win a case all others said was impossible. His work ethic was unbelievable. Communication was constant. None of the other lawyers kept ...me up to date or responded to inquiries like he did. In addition, his legal mind is second to none. I have always heard that it is impossible to take on the government. He did and he won. It was not easy, but he never gave up. Every time we had a set back, he was ready and willing to follow up with another approach. He persisted where others gave up. He is a pit bull. You want him on your side, trust me. He won a major decision, and in spectacular fashion. A decision that not only benefitted me, but will help to keep the government from illegally overstepping its authority for future generations.

ONLY Guy you want to handle your appeal

Mr. Horwitz has an incredible work ethic, legal mind, and an innate ability to analyze legal facts and circumstances in a manner which gives his clients the best chance at an appeal of an erroneous decision(s) by a lower court. As a result of his representation I won a 3-0 decision in the TN Court of... Appeals and then on a related case a 3-0 decision in the Federal 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. If you want to have the absolute best chance of winning your appeal, then you go with an appellate expert. That is what Mr. HORWITZ brings to the table in a way no other attorney can. He, Lindsay Smith, and his team are incredibly talented.

Professional, Efficient and Respected

When I hired Horwitz Law, I was blown away by the professional nature of how the firm is conducted, and I was immediately impressed by the prompt response and tailored service. I would highly recommend the Horwitz Law firm. If you want to work with a respected and fearless Attorney in Tennessee - l...ook no further than Daniel Horwitz and the team!

Outstanding all the way through!

We would highly recommend Mr. Horwitz for an attorney. From the very beginning he and his staff were very attentive to our needs. Any questions were always quickly, promptly, and professionally answered. He did a great job keeping us in the loop throughout the process. We have never experienced the l...evel of care and comfort from an attorney as that of Mr. Horwitz. You will not be disappointed in the representation that you receive from both him and his staff. 5 stars across the board!
