Experienced, earnest, and empathetic attorney Charles Horowitz brings dynamic professionalism to those he represents.
In more than 30 years of litigating cases, Charles has obtained a breadth of knowledge unusual in the ever more specialized legal profession. Charles’ extensive experience representing plaintiffs in employment law cases, combined with his past work on behalf of employers, ensuring their compliance with a complicated array of state, federal, and local laws, poses an advantageous skill set. His diverse perspectives in understanding all sides of an issue lend him unique insights to resolve complicated, often acrimonious employment law disputes and negotiate the best outcomes for his clients. He has argued before Federal and State courts (including the Minnesota Supreme Court), conducted trials and administrative hearings and successfully settled several hundred cases. Charles’ writing skills, analytical abilities, knowledge of the substantive law and devotion to clients are without equal. His enthusiasm and professionalism, not to mention results, have earned Charles ample recognition within the Twin Cities legal community.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Charles attended Cornell University’s College of Arts & Sciences in Ithaca, New York. Graduating cum laude with a degree in European History, he decided his creative mind, love of writing, and passion for justice would find great purpose in practicing law. After completing his undergraduate studies, he attended the Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. After a stint on the East Coast, Charles returned to his home state to continue his legal career. Ask Charles why he’s remained at it after all these years, and he’ll tell you it’s because he genuinely loves the work. He derives no greater satisfaction than from giving clients a sense of hope. When necessary, doing double duty as a life coach as well as alegal advocate. In short, Charles relishes the chance to build rapport with his clients, gain their trust, and help make a difference in their lives by resolving thorny legal disputes — often during challenging, emotionally fraught periods in their lives.
An avid road and mountain biker, Charles enjoys visiting museums and collecting modern pottery and art glass. Other hobbies and interests include cooking and travel, art house cinema, and classical music. Married with two grown daughters, Charles and his wife Robin are recent “empty nesters.” They relish their freedom and are thrilled about their daughters’ futures. One is a primary school teacher in Upstate New York, and the other is considering following her dad’s footsteps into the law.
