Horwitz Law handles select constitutional litigation in both state and federal courts.  The firm’s constitutional litigation practice focuses heavily on First Amendment litigation and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 damages litigation arising from federal constitutional torts, including unconstitutional conduct resulting in wrongful death, equal protection violations, and unconstitutional protectionism.

Horwitz Law’s nationally renowned constitutional and public interest impact litigation has resulted in numerous high-profile victories in both state and federal court, including several state statutes and policies being struck down as invalid and judgments awarding permanent injunctive, declaratory relief, and attorney’s fees.  If you would like to purchase a consultation from Horwitz Law, you can do so using the following form:

Like no other

September 9, 2022 — Unfortunately, I have had the opportunity to test out several different lawyers. My previous experiences almost led me to overlook Mr. Horwitz, who believed we could win a case all others said was impossible. His work ethic was unbelievable. Communication was constant. None of the other lawyers kept me up to date or responded to inquiries like he did. In addition, his legal mind is second to none. I have always heard that it is impossible to take on the government. He did and he won. It was not easy, but he never gave up. Every time we had a set back, he was ready and willing to follow up with another approach. He persisted where others gave up. He is a pit bull. You want him on your side, trust me. He won a major decision, and in spectacular fashion. A decision that not only benefitted me, but will help to keep the government from illegally overstepping its authority for future generations.

Phenomenal, passionate, man of integrity

October 19, 2016 — I hired Daniel to defend my company when a state bureaucracy attempted to shut us down. We were referred to Daniel and I immediately knew he was the perfect person to work with. He executed a flawless and 100% successful legal defense of our company as well as promoted our business and situation to the press, which was incredibly helpful. I found Daniel to be responsive, passionate, intelligent and more than fair. He is an exceptional man and lawyer and I would recommend him to any potential client. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you so much, Daniel.
