111 W. Washington St. , Chicago , Illinois 60602
Practice Areas: Litigation
Blake Horwitz is one of Chicago’s leading civil rights trial lawyers. He has prosecuted over 400 federal claims and brought over 30 cases to trial.

With over 20 years of trial experience of both Federal and state courts, Mr. Horwitz has a wealth of experience in complex litigation and the will to fight and win on behalf of his clients.. Mr. Horwitz is especially proud of his successes in battling municipal corruption and wrongdoing. Through his litigation of Seipler v. McHenry County, Mr. Horwitz has effectively put an end to racial profiling in the issuing of traffic tickets by the County’s Sheriff’s Department. In Anderson  v. Village of Stone Park, he forced the municipality to cease an illegal sting operation that had resulted in the arrest of nearly 900 innocent men wrongfully accused of soliciting prostitution. And by filing twelve police misconduct lawsuits in a single day against the City of Blue Island, Mr. Horwitz helped bring about a pronounced reduction in police abuse by the Blue Island Police Department.
