My experience with the Law Offices of Horwitz & Citro was terrifying, not because the firm was less than I expected; it was because they delivered honest, straightforward, concise advice. My case was unusual. The expertise of Vince Citro with his history within the DOJ and understanding of the Federal laws, regulations, and nuances proved to be priceless as we moved through my issues. Mr. Citro carries a wealth of experience in the field of cyber crimes and technology. In my case his, knowledge of technology, cyber crimes, and the law, state and Federal, gave me the confidence that we had chosen the correct legal counsel. It appears in this world of cyber crimes where the lines are blurred to so many of us, in this case the accusers and prosecutors who fell into that exact category, the expert experience of Vince brought it all into focus.
