About the Author
Merle H. Horwitz grew up in Pasadena, California. He attended Pasadena City College and graduated from the University of Southern California in the 1950s. Thereafter attended Hastings College of Law in San Francisco and UCLA.
He became editor of the Century City Bar News and contributed an occasional article to various legal journals.
Merle was editor of the Pasadena Record—a weekly newspaper published in Pasadena in the 1960s as well as a contributing editor to the State Labor News during the same period.
He engaged primarily in trial work representing at times various celebrities in domestic related cases.
His first book was one of the Harvey Ace books, which was published by Knightsbridge. He then wrote Love is Love but... Business is Business in the 1980s and was among the first in the legal profession to propose that rights arise when people live together depending on individual facts. Love and Biz has just released as an updated new edition.
Merle was a member of the California Bar, the Beverly Hills Bar and the Century City Bar. His firm grew to 10-12 lawyers and about the same in support staff with offices in Century City and Westwood. He also tried cases in a half dozen other states and wrote another Harvey Ace book and when that all got boring he wrote the Great Deli Cookbook with co-author, Marvin Saul of Junior's Deli in West Los Angeles. It has been a great success.
He won State of California first prizes in art in various mediums in the past… but that is the past.
