Defense Attorney

Lou Horwitz

​

​

has over 20 years' experience

defending people's legal

and constitutional rights

​

​

has represented defendants

charged with misdemeanors,

probation violations, and

all classes of felonies

​

​

has represented defendants

before judges and juries

​

​

and, when necessary, has

challenged rulings all the

way to the Missouri

and the United States

Supreme Courts.

​

​

Lou's Philosophy

​

In 2008, Lou Horwitz ran for a judgeship because

he believes that the Constitution, Due Process,

and Judicial Independence matter very much.

​

The 70,000 people who voted for him

seemed to agree.

​

~

​

"A fair trial before an impartial tribunal is a 

basic requirement of due process."

​

~

​

The blessings of liberty afforded us by

the Founding Fathers under the Constitution

and Bill of Rights require our eternal vigilance.

​

~

​

In an ideal world, "the system" would automatically

protect every defendant's constitutional rights,

assure every defendant due process, and 

guarantee that every defendant receives

equal justice under the law.

​

In the real world, 

it all depends on a firm commitment to 

the principles embodied in the Constitution

by everyone involved.
