Blake Horwitz
Sobre mí
Blake Horwitz es uno de los principales abogados de derechos civiles en Chicago. Ha procesado más de 400 demandas federales y ha llevado más de 30 casos a juicio. Una de sus victorias más destacadas resultó en un veredicto de $28,000,000 contra la Ciudad de Chicago, el mayor veredicto por mala conducta policial de su tipo en el Medio Oeste. Con más de 25 años de experiencia en juicios tanto en tribunales federales como estatales, el Sr. Horwitz tiene una gran experiencia en litigios complejos y la voluntad de luchar y ganar en nombre de sus clientes.
El Sr. Horwitz está especialmente orgulloso de sus éxitos en la lucha contra la corrupción municipal y los actos indebidos. A través de su litigio en Seipler v. McHenry County, el Sr. Horwitz puso fin de manera efectiva al perfilado racial en la emisión de boletos de tráfico por parte del Departamento del Sheriff del Condado de McHenry. En Anderson v. Village of Stone Park, obligó al Pueblo de Stone Park a cesar una operación ilegal que había resultado en el arresto de casi 900 hombres inocentes acusados injustamente de solicitar a una prostituta. Al presentar doce demandas por mala conducta policial en un solo día contra la Ciudad de Blue Island, el Sr. Horwitz ayudó a lograr una notable reducción del abuso policial en el Pueblo de Blue Island, contra sus ciudadanos.
Sin embargo, el trabajo en The Blake Horwitz Law Firm no se detiene en los derechos civiles. Debido a la demanda de los clientes, el Sr. Horwitz y su equipo de abogados representan a individuos en diversas áreas: derecho penal, asuntos familiares, compensación laboral, casos de lesiones y muchos más. El objetivo del Sr. Horwitz es proporcionar el mejor servicio legal personalizado disponible, utilizando las habilidades especializadas de su equipo de abogados.
