About Clifford
Clifford Horwitz has spent more than four decades anchored in courtroom practice and bar activities. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida in 1981 and followed that with a J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 1984. Those years laid the groundwork for a career rooted in litigation and professional involvement.
After law school, Horwitz began his career at Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates. He is listed as a principal partner there from 1984 onward. Over the years he has maintained a steady presence at the firm and in Illinois courts. His long tenure at a single firm indicates sustained work in litigation settings and ongoing client representation across state and federal venues.
Horwitz is admitted to practice in Illinois and in several federal courts. His federal admissions include the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Those credentials allow him to bring cases at trial and on appeal in the region’s federal system, and they reflect a practice that spans trial-level litigation and appellate work when needed.
Professional affiliations make up a substantial part of Horwitz’s public profile. He holds current memberships in the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the American Association for Justice, as well as the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. He is also active in bar organizations including the Illinois State Bar Association, the Chicago Bar Association, the Will County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association. His involvement with the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and listings with the Lawyer Registration and Disciplinary Commission further indicate ongoing engagement with trial skills training and the regulatory aspects of the profession.
Colleagues and clients have noted his consistent participation in professional groups and court work. He has practiced through changes in procedure and evidence rules, and has pursued continuing legal education opportunities available through national and state organizations. That combination of courtroom admissions and association memberships suggests a practical, courtroom-oriented approach to legal problems rather than a purely transactional practice.
Today Clifford Horwitz remains at Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates in Illinois. He continues to represent clients in state and federal courts and maintains an active trial and appellate practice. His current practice focuses on civil litigation and trial matters.
