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.
