Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Horowitz worked in the Solicitor General’s Office at the Department of Justice from 1979 to 1990, serving under four Solicitors General.  During that time he argued more than 25 cases before the United States Supreme Court and briefed many others on a variety of topics, including constitutional, statutory, and criminal issues.  From 1986 to 1990, he served as the Tax Assistant to the Solicitor General and had primary responsibility both for conducting the government’s tax litigation before the United States Supreme Court and for overseeing the government’s determinations to appeal adverse tax decisions.  During his tenure in the Solicitor General’s Office, Mr. Horowitz briefed and argued some of the most significant tax cases of that period.

Since coming to Miller & Chevalier, Mr. Horowitz has continued his Supreme Court practice while also handling numerous cases in federal courts of appeals across the country.  His achievements include three cases in which his client prevailed on appeal following an unfavorable trial court decision and then convinced the United States Supreme Court to deny the United States government’s petition for certiorari.
