Molly Northrup is a dedicated advocate for healthcare professionals. Recently admitted to the State Bar of California, Molly built a strong foundation over several years as a paralegal supporting prominent healthcare attorneys. Molly brings deep, practical, and refreshing insight into the complex regulatory and operational landscape of medicine.
Molly’s previous paralegal experience immersed her in high-stakes matters involving physicians, hospitals, medical groups, and licensing bodies. She assisted in defending clients against investigations, disciplinary actions, peer review proceedings, privileging disputes, credentialing challenges, Medical Board of California inquiries, and even criminal indictments. This hands-on background equipped her with a nuanced understanding of hospital bylaws, peer review processes, National Practitioner Data Bank reporting, fair hearing procedures, and the interplay between administrative law and healthcare regulations.
Now practicing in the same specialized field, Molly focuses her practice on vigorously defending physicians and other licensed healthcare providers facing:
Licensing investigations and disciplinary actions by the Medical Board of California, Osteopathic Board of California, California Board of Registered Nursing, and other regulatory agencies.
Adverse privileging, credentialing, and Medical Staff actions
Peer review proceedings and fair hearings
Hospital and group contract disputes impacting professional rights
Challenges to reports to the National Practitioner Data Bank or other entities
Molly is passionate about protecting the careers and reputations of those who dedicate their lives to patient care. She understands the profound personal and professional toll these matters can take and approaches each case with empathy, strategic precision, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best. With Dan it is not so much about the money but about doing what is right. A very rare breed. He has honesty and integrity and the jurys see it. If he doesn't believe in the case or the client he won't waste your time or his. But you better listen to him!...Believe an trust in him. I did and I am totally indebted to him. He is "The best of the best." Thank you Dan for all you have done and continue to do. Carole~ Arbuckle v. Board of Chiropractic Examiners

“Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court.”
He is approachable but serious. Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful to have found a lawyer capable of such a delicate balancing act.

“The Best Attorney I Could Have Asked For”
Dan Horowitz was the best attorney I could have asked for during a difficult time in my career. From the moment I met him, I felt believed, respected, and safe. He and his team were endlessly responsive and empathetic to me and my family. He fought for my case day and night, always keeping my best interests at the forefront of his mind. As I learned from Dan, it is never a good time in one’s life to need legal representation - but if you need it, Dan is your person, your advocate, and your best friend. We are forever grateful for his tireless commitment to justice for the people.
