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.

“Medical Marijuana Case” | Avvo Review

[NOTE: This client and the next client were both involved in the same medical marijuana grow. A waiver of conflict was signed, and I got all felony charges dismissed against both clients.]
I consulted with a few lawyers before retaining Mr. Horowitz to represent me. He was able to get all 3 of the felonies droped before I went to preliminary hearing. I was very happy with the representation I received by Mr. Horowitz and recomend anyone facing charges related to Medical Marijuana consult with Mr. Horowitz….
