Client Oriented Lawyers

Best Only Works if the Lawyer is “Best” for You

The “Best Lawyer” is not an objective criteria.  The proper phrase is “best lawyer for you as a person and for the very specific circumstances of your case”.   

Daniel Horowitz strives to team you with lawyers (and paralegals) who are compatible personally and with legal expertise that matches your needs.  This is why we promise that if we cannot meet your legal needs we will assist you in finding an excellent lawyer who is the proper match.

Daniel’s Qualifications

Daniel Horowitz has been a resident of Lafayette since 1986 and he has maintained his office in Lafayette and Oakland since that time. He is active in local charities and a strong supporter of Acalanes sports programs.  He also supports LPIE and Generations in Jazz.  Daniel is a long serving member of the Lafayette Crime Prevention Commission.

Daniel has been honored with a listing as a “Super Lawyer”, an AVVO 10 rating and a  “Top 100 Lawyer”.  He is AV rated by Martindale Hubbell.  Daniel is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), a licensed California Real Estate Broker, and a former law professor and a television legal commentator.

    “Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court.”
    He is approachable but serious. Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful to have found a lawyer capable of such a delicate balancing act.

    “The Best Attorney I Could Have Asked For”
    Dan Horowitz was the best attorney I could have asked for during a difficult time in my career. From the moment I met him, I felt believed, respected, and safe. He and his team were endlessly responsive and empathetic to me and my family. He fought for my case day and night, always keeping my best interests at the forefront of his mind. As I learned from Dan, it is never a good time in one’s life to need legal representation - but if you need it, Dan is your person, your advocate, and your best friend. We are forever grateful for his tireless commitment to justice for the people.

    “Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best.”
    Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best. With Dan it is not so much about the money but about doing what is right. A very rare breed. He has honesty and integrity and the jurys see it. If he doesn't believe in the case or the client he won't waste your time or his. But you better listen to him!...Believe an trust in him. I did and I am totally indebted to him. He is "The best of the best." Thank you Dan for all you have done and continue to do. Carole~ Arbuckle v. Board of Chiropractic Examiners

    “He is one of a very few of that special breed.”
    Very caring individual. Daniel handled my divorce back in 1991 and is a very understanding and caring person who took care of my needs with patience and understanding. He is one of a very few of that special breed. Wish to God there were more like him. Thanks, Daniel.

    “There are lawyers and then there are real lawyers. Dan Horowitz is a real lawyer in every since of the word.”
    There are lawyers and then there are real lawyers. Dan Horowitz is a real lawyer in every since of the word. Dan is a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law. You will not find very many attorneys having such recognition especially one that hits on all cylinders as Dan. In addition to his knowledge of the law and his experience, which I found to be unmatched, i appreciated the fact that he at all times is genuine, which for me says it all. Thank you Dan.
