About

Provided by Horvitz & Levy LLP

Horvitz & Levy is a boutique law firm specializing in appeals. In the late 1950s, no US law firm focused solely on appellate success. The firm’s founder, Ellis J. Horvitz, envisioned a firm devoted to winning cases on appeal. Mr. Horvitz achieved this vision, and it continues to unfold today. Horvitz & Levy:

  • Remains the largest firm in the United States specializing exclusively in civil appellate litigation.
  • Appears more often in civil cases in the California appellate courts than any other firm, prevailing in more than 70% of its appeals and saving its clients tens of millions of dollars each year.
  • Helps shape the law in precedent-setting cases, including landmark matters that have made a lasting impact on clients and their business imperatives. 
  • Has become a trusted advisor related to case evaluation, trial strategy, settlement options, and timing. 
  • Uses an experienced-hire model, leveraging Big Law alumni while offering boutique custom service with hands-on partner attention.
