This year, Orlando attorney Mark L. Horwitz presented a successful defense in the trial of Robert Bishop, a Melbourne business man accused of tax fraud. The white collar crime case featured a charge of 12 felony counts and one misdemeanor, with Bishop facing over 60 years in prison.
Squaring off against the Justice Department, and its impressive record of convictions, Horwitz was able to masterfully secure acquittals for Bishop on all counts. He successfully argued that Bishop’s accountant was responsible and had filed false tax returns, resulting in $685,000 in withheld taxes.
With 30 years of dealing with white collar criminal defense, Horwitz was especially well-qualified to represent Bishop, and has experience on both sides – having begun his career as an Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting tax fraud cases in the 1970s.
