Specializing in Elder Abuse for Over 30 Years

Sanford I. Horowitz, Attorney

Mr. Horowitz was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1987. He is a graduate of the University of San Francisco and received his undergraduate degree in political science in 1983 at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. Since 1993, his practice has been dedicated exclusively to representing plaintiffs.

An Experienced Lawyer specializing in elder abuse

30 years advocating for our elders

Elder abuse litigation "chose" Mr. Horowitz, since as a young lawyer he was Lead Trial Counsel and Co-Appellate Counsel in the landmark elder abuse case Delaney v. Baker (1999) 20 Cal.4th 23 decided by the California Supreme Court. This case established that the legislative intent of the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA), with its unique special remedies to punish “reckless neglect” of elders – even for deceased elders –, applied to nursing homes as healthcare providers, thus allowing elders, dependent adults, and their families a legal avenue to enforce patient care over profits.


Mr. Horowitz has participated as a speaker and moderator at numerous seminars and training sessions relating to elder abuse and nursing home litigation. Throughout his career, he has been affiliated with the following associations and non-profit organizations:

  • California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (Referral Panel Attorney)
  • American Association for Justice (including Nursing Home Litigation Group)
  • Consumer Attorneys of California (Past Board Member)
  • Sonoma County Bar Association (Past Board Representative for Sonoma Valley)
  • Sonoma County Consumer Attorneys (Past Board Member and Past President)
  • Council on Aging of Sonoma County (Referral Panel Attorney)
  • Foundation Aiding the Elderly (Sacramento)
  • National Citizens Coalition for Nursing Home Reform (Washington, D.C.) 


While Mr. Horowitz has specialized in elder abuse and nursing home litigation throughout California, he also has litigated select personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice claims.


Mr. Horowitz is a native of Long Island, New York, having migrated to Northern California in 1984. He is married and has two grown children. When not practicing law, Mr. Horowitz enjoys attending New Orleans parades and seeking out beaches and other beautiful natural settings near and far.
