Mitch believes that the dynamics of every case are unique, and he has seen many thousands of them. He is known for developing groundbreaking legal theories to apply to workplace injury cases. He is also known for his detailed memory. Although the opposing side always sets up roadblocks in workers’ compensation cases that must be overcome, injury attorneys who devote sufficient time and resources to a case can form very good ideas about which direction is likely to yield the best results.
On many occasions, Mitch and other workers’ injury lawyers at the Horwitz firm have skillfully prosecuted cases that other law firms considered overly difficult. Clients have sometimes recovered millions of dollars with Mitch’s assistance after other firms have denied representation or counseled workers to accept low-ball settlements.
