Law Office of Rick Horowitz.

I am a successful Fresno attorney - but I don't just practice in Fresno! I've been successfully arguing criminal (and traffic) cases for the last few years. I only officially became an attorney in 2007. But I had already participated in serious criminal cases, starting in early 2004. In 2006, while still a student, I handled "second chair" duties in a double-homicide special-circumstances trial. Many of the motions that I wrote and argued for that trial won.

It took me a long time to decide to become an attorney. Along the way, I succeeded in multiple other careers, so I bring to the job of being your attorney a broad base of knowledge and experience. Like a lot of other kids, when I was young, I had a job delivering newspapers. This job taught me the importance of hard work. I learned that if I had to get up at 4 a.m. to get my newspapers folded, that's just what I had to do in order to do a good job. Today, I have that same attitude when it comes to representing my clients as an attorney. If a motion needs to be filed on Monday and I haven't had time to finish it by Friday at 5 p.m., that means I'm working through the weekend. All night if I have to!

After being a paperboy, I got one of my first real jobs working in a convalescent hospital. That job taught me to have compassion for other people, particularly for people who could not always help themselves. I bring that same compassion to my work as an attorney. Recently, I was hired to handle an appeal. Someone told me that my client needed some medical care and was not getting it. I contacted the facility that was holding him and arranged to get him some care. I did not say, "Sorry, I'm just handling the appeal." I care about my clients.
