This was by far my worst experience working with an attorney. Amy was very unorganized and never seem to be able to access documents I sent to her for my case. She lacking empathy for her clients and diminishes the roles great father's plays in their children's lives. If your a father don't use her services, she not a parent and that's makes her unequiped to advocate for what's truly right for your children. If your a father of color do not use her services, you pay and not get the services you paid for. She's a settler and not a litigator, she use duress to force me into making decisions that was very unhealthy for my family and she seems to share the view that women deserve everything from a marriage and the men we can pick ourselves up after loosing everything they worked hard for.
Spoke down to me more than enough to know that she doesn't care about her clients and have threatened to abandoned me as a clients because I didn't agree with her counseling. In a meeting with family relation she didn't provide the support that I needed and I had to be arguing with family services while she was sitting next to me saying nothing, even when I asked her what did she think about what family services was proposing she said she had nothing to say. Yup and I paid her to argue on my behalf.
I asked her to file for child support multiple times given my financial hell I was in and being unemployed and she refused multiple times. She used child support as a negotiating token rather than it being my legal righ. We had multiple meeting with family services while going through my divorce and days before those meetings I would request to meet with her for 30 minutes to go over what will be discussed and those meetings seems to never happen. So each one of those meetings I was left in the dark and that's when she would use duress to force me into agreeing with terms she never discussed with me before the meetings. Somehow she would always have time to meet with my X's legal team and never me her client. My X has a documented mental illness and she refused to being that to the courts attention and told me it would cost me to fight that battle and to make things worst she would always use my financial position to justify not doing what she got paid for. She is very rude and disrespectful and lack professional decurome and I wouldn't recommend her if your a father or parent who really wants what's best for your family. She even support a decision that was truly hurtful to my children by allowing the schedule to change and as a result my children don't get to see each other for one less day out of the week. Her response to that was it's not a big deal and my daughter would be fine not seeing her older brother one less day in the week, again she doesn't have children of her own so she doesn't understands or cares about the overall wellbeing of what's right for children. Trust me you would be better representing yourself because that's what I did while paying her to not do her job. Amy should not be practicing family law and it's sad that the bar association protects lawyer such as her.

Spoke to me with complete disrespect. Asking if I can even afford her fees. Absolutely rude.

I was referred to, Amy J Horowitz from a relative. She gave me high hopes from what she experienced attorney Horowitz had presented to one of her best friend's son's case. When I went to attorney Horowitz office for the first time. She instantly made me feel at ease and comfortable just because of her friendly presence and sincere caring of my issue. After hearing the Trainwreck that I was in, she stated to me that, (I want this case, you need me). My heart just smiled with joy. Boy!!! Was she right and, to watch her in action just amazed me in seeing her perform as if she was in her own Zone. I think she is an amazing attorney, passionate, caring, affordable, honorable and knowledgeable of the law. Oh! Did I leave out that, she pretty much knows everyone in the courthouse 😂. However, I would recommend her to anyone who's in a jam with any family matters that you may be entangled in, she'll get U out. I think she's amazing at what she does and, I don't think anyone would be disappointed if they were too, retain her.

Cares about the wallet, not the kids. Has poor follow up, no character, poor child advocate.

Hire this attorney only if you want to hire an additional attorney for the opposing party. You have to tell her what to file, what to say, what strategy to use. And she still won’t.
It’s as though she is nervous and totally can’t remember anything let alone important details she was going to bring up when speaking to opposing attorney, family relations, or a judge. During her initial consultation she speaks as though she knows exactly what has to be done but after that she stumbles through the whole thing. ( to the point my ex actually said my attorney and I want to thank you for hiring her) I should’ve read her reviews all the negative ones are spot on as it relayed to my case. She WILL try to make sure the opposing party gets exactly what they are asking for and more. She cannot for the life of her make a point. Custody cases are stressful to begin with but she made it so much worse. Thankfully we hired another attorney in time. Check the reviews of all attorneys before hiring them.

To begin with, this attorney charged me over $400 to sit down with my ex where nothing was accomplished, that could've been done in court. Every time I called her for advice she would tell me she didn't know what to do and say "there's nothing she can do". She would always accept what the opposing attorney had to say and not stand up for my interests. She never had any answers to stop what my ex was doing that was against court orders. I had to constantly tell her what to file and what to say in court. If you want to pay and get less than what you deserve, this is the attorney for you.

Your divorce attorney is supposed to be a strong advocate for your needs; however, in my divorce, this was not the case with Attorney Amy J Horowitz. She attempted to find the quickest solution to finalizing the divorce, even when this meant giving the opposition more than what was justifiable by law. I only found this out later when I fired Attorney Horowitz and my new divorce attorney, upon review of my case, was dumbfounded by the terrible legal counsel she had provided. The case was very contentious due to my adversarial ex-husband, and Attorney Amy J Horowitz made the process even more stressful because she refused to listen to my requests (which included filing cease and desist letters with the opposition) nor did she want to take a strategic approach to the case as it appeared she was just trying to settle it as quickly as possible with the least amount of work for herself. I finally fired Attorney Horowitz when it was clear she was not going to follow the letter of the law in my divorce case. Add to this a complete lack of professionalism and competence (her letters and emails were so poorly written, I wondered if she even had a college degree, let alone a law degree), and you have an attorney who I would never recommend to anyone.
