Following his successful defense of Robert Bishop, Orlando attorney Mark L. Horwitz was selected to appear in the national legal publication “Criminal Trial Techniques,” co-authored by F. Lee Bailey and Kenneth J. Fishman.
Horwitz defended the Melbourne businessman against the Justice Department in the case of United States v. Robert Ernest Bishop. Accused of withholding $685,000 in taxes and charged with 12 felony accounts, Bishop faced over 60 years in prison.
However, Horwitz’s excellent cross-examination of Bishop’s accountant proved that the accountant had filed false tax returns. Not just notable for uncovering the accountant’s crime, Horwitz’s defense is exemplary for the fact that Bishop was acquitted on all counts – a total victory.
Horwitz’s background in white collar criminal defense and tax evasion cases is decades-rich, having started in the 1970s when Horwitz was an Assistant United State Attorney and served as the prosecution on tax fraud cases.
