The Legendary MUA Case in Stockton, California
Over 200 chiropractors were on the brink of mass arrests for performing Manipulations Under Anesthesia (MUA) in California. The pivotal Stockton MUA case, the first of its kind in the state, was a turning point. If Daniel Horowitz had lost, prosecutors were ready to launch widespread arrests.
Daniel Horowitz faced off against eleven expert witnesses from the Chiropractic Board and insurance carriers, thoroughly and systematically dismantling their arguments. The prosecution was exposed for withholding evidence and manipulating witnesses. In a scene reminiscent of a movie, jurors began offering candy to Horowitz’s chiropractor client from their communal “keep jurors awake” bowl halfway through the three-month trial.
The victory in the MUA case halted the arrests, and months later, the board issued regulations making MUAs a safe and accepted treatment. If you performed MUAs between 2003-2005, you weren’t arrested because Horowitz and Yates won the Origel MUA case.

$ 2 Million Dollars Collected from the Board of Chiropractic Examiners
Several years later, Daniel Horowitz sued the chiropractic board on behalf of whistleblower Carol Arbuckle. She revealed that the board had provided special treatment to a chiropractic board member whose license had lapsed and who had billed under someone else’s license. The chiropractic board fired Carol Arbuckle who sued for wrongful termination. The case went to trial and she ultimately recovered $2 million dollars.

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.Katherine
