It’s easy for a lawyer to tell you how wonderful he is. As one of my friends is fond of saying, “On the Internet, no one knows if you are a dog.” In reality, the same holds true when you visit an attorney in his or her office. This Testimonials page collects client reviews of Attorney Rick Horowitz. Real clients wrote these reviews, and you can click on the link for each review to go to the review website — Google, or Avvo — so you know a real client, or a client’s family member, wrote the review.

The client reviews on this page are excerpts from my profile over on Avvo, or on Google. This provides an opportunity for potential clients to see what former clients have had to say about me, and how I handled their cases. If you are a former client and would like to leave a review for me, use this link.
When considering an attorney, it sometimes also helps to see what other attorneys think about the attorney you’re considering. See my Avvo Peer Endorsements to read what at least thirty-four other attorneys who have actually either worked with me, or actually seen me in action in the courts, say about me. If you are one of my colleagues, or an attorney who knows me, and you wish to endorse me, please use this link.
If you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer, you can learn more about what I do by looking at my Practice Areas page.

“Juvenile criminal defense attorney” | Avvo Review

Mr. Horowitz was wonderful. We were blindsided by false charges against my st00ep-son and he was arrested and charged so quickly. We had no idea what to do, who to turn to, and who to trust. … Mr. Horowitz was phenomenal and now this nightmare is over…[read more on Avvo]

“Phone Consultation” | Avvo Review

I called Mr. Horowitz’s office for clarification on a situation regarding my son’s confinement time. He wasn’t the attorney for their case but a former client had previously recommended him to me but a little late at that point. Not able to get in touch with my attorney I reached out to Mr. Horowitz. He was very helpful in explaining to me the laws of time served. He gave me relief to know…[read more on Avvo]

“Genuine, Intelligent, and Cares” | Avvo Review

Rick is in a league of his own. Why? He cares about his clients. Your not just another pay day. He doesn’t overload his schedule, so that he can give your case the attention it needs. He begins with a consultation and actively listens to your situation attentively and without judgement. He doesn’t fill you with empty promises. He gives it to you straight. In a world filled with bull-shitters, it’s quite refreshing to find someone that is honest.
He’s not the cheapest guy on the block, but he’s worth every penny. [read more on Avvo]

“Finally! A Lawyer who Fights for your Rights.” | Avvo Review

Mr. Horowitz was not only extremely professional, he was very compassionate and patient. Extremely satisfied with the outcome, would hire to represent me in a heartbeat… just hope that’s not necessary. [read more on Avvo]
[NOTE: Regarding this review by Lisa, she was actually represented by a public defender. I represented her co-defendant. We fought this case for nearly two years, during which time my client picked up a new case just as we were heading to trial. Because of this, my client asked me to try to settle the case. However, the DA had been refusing to settle Lisa’s case for the entire two years because he would not give the public defender what the public defender was asking for (what she was asking for was quite reasonable, and she probably could have obtained what she was asking for from the jury). The DA said that because of that he would not settle my client’s case; it was a “package deal.” I finally asked permission of the other attorney to try to settle both cases just before the (rescheduled) trial date. She agreed. In the end, I obtained a settlement for both Lisa, and my client. The settlement I obtained for Lisa was actually better than the one her own attorney had been trying to obtain. This is why Lisa said, “Extremely satisfied with the outcome,” but also added “would hire to represent me in a heartbeat….” She did not actually hire me, but obtained the benefit of my representation because I needed to help her in order to help my own client. The settlement I obtained for my client, by the way, was for six-months local prison. He was facing easily more than 10 years, if convicted. Because of his new case picked up shortly before trial, his case became more likely to be lost at trial.]
