DANIEL HOROWITZ
CRIMINAL DEFENSE RECORD
Unlike 1-800 law firms that handle hundreds of cases and then tout their few victories, the Horowitz office handles 6-10 cases per year. This means that the record of victories is far more meaningful as the office achieves a positive outcome in a very large percentage of the cases handled.
If you search for "crime white collar" you will find a large number of white collar defense firms. Compare the actual jury trial experience of those many offices with the Horowitz office. Few "crime white collar" websites will honestly describe even a dozen jury trials by the featured attorney.
Daniel Horowitz has taken over 150 cases to trial including many complex cases.
