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.

Phenomenal, passionate, man of integrity

I hired Daniel to defend my company when a state bureaucracy attempted to shut us down. We were referred to Daniel and I immediately knew he was the perfect person to work with. He executed a flawless and 100% successful legal defense of our company as well as promoted our business and situation to t...he press, which was incredibly helpful. I found Daniel to be responsive, passionate, intelligent and more than fair. He is an exceptional man and lawyer and I would recommend him to any potential client. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you so much, Daniel.

Expungdment Case Genius

Mr.Horwitz is nothing short of a brilliant attorney.I contacted him through Avvo via email on his website in the pm within minutes he emailed me back for more info which I supplied and he again responded immediately. Mr.Horwitz obtained my case numbers the following day and contacted me to let me kno...w he could help me with my expungable cases.He expunged my case records as promised and his fee was very reasonable. He actually went a step further and informed me that he could possibly help on a case that I asked about that was on the non expungable list because of brand new legislation that was passed .Mr Horwitz informed me that it could take a while because the courts didn't have the new legislation in their system to date but went ahead and got us a court date .Well let me tell you he contacted me shortly after he was out of court day of and informed me that it was done the judge had sided with us per argument to the dismay of prosecutors. He also informed me that it was the first expungdment case of its kind to be granted expungdment in the state of Tennessee .All I can say to that is Wow !! and he is truly a remarkable attorney and I would strongly recommend and advise any one in need of a brilliant attorney to hire Mr.Horwitz. I must also say my decision to hire Mr.Horwitz has been a true blessing for my family and I now have been given a second chance to choose from so many different future career opportunities instead of my past mistakes choosing them for me and for that we truly, Thank Mr. Daniel Horwitz

I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Horwitz!

I was having issues with my leasing company, and Mr. Horwitz was a lifesaver. He was incredibly patient despite the fact that the issue lasted for far longer than any of us expected, and he was always quick to reply to any and all questions. He made an unpleasant experience far more bearable than I e...ver could have hoped for.
