Posted by anonymous | February 09, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

A TRULY GREAT ATTORNEY !!

Mr. Horwitz represented me in petitioning the court for an expungement. I am totally pleased with the outcome and it was done in a timely manner. I can tell you that Mr. Horwitz knows exactly what he is doing and his great professionalism precedes him. I can tell you firsthand that I would have no pr...oblems whatsoever recommending him. The great thing I liked about Mr. Horowitz was that any question that I had, and there were many, he answered them quickly. I truly think that he is one of the very best at what he does.

Great experience; super easy process!

Mr.Horwitz was great to work with. We were able to do everything virtually which made it super efficient. He helped me to expunge a 10+ old record that I wasn’t sure was possible. This is life changing and will give me the chance going forward to find a great job without having to worry about an old ...case from when I was young. The process was so simple and Mr. Horwitz was a calming factor and gave me tons of confidence through this matter.

Attentive and Professional

I had many questions and he answered every one throughout the process in a professional and friendly manner. Mr. Horwitz kept me informed every step of the way and notified me promptly when it was complete.

Client

Mr. Horwitz was clear, empathic, and helpful from the moment I reached out to him about an expungement case that has been a hindrance to me for many years. He didn't overpromise and gave me a realistic sense of what would probably happen. Thankfully, the court ruled in my favor and I have no doubt th...at was due to Daniel's nuanced positioning of my case. I'm very glad I hired him.

The Best Defamation/Anti-SLAPP Attorney in Nashville

If you are contemplating paying the consult fee like I was, save yourself the time and energy of talking to other attorneys and being disappointed. This is Daniel’s bread and butter and be genuinely cares about his clients and that they see justice. He was able to get the lawsuit filed against me dis...missed with prejudice in 10 weeks (with four of those weeks being an extension due to COVID-19 shutting the courts down) with awarded attorney fees. He is extremely knowledgeable and eloquent in his writing and responses. I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Daniel!
