Do not hire this narcissist

Al Holtz is an overpriced hack. He took a dive during a custody hearing for my child. The effect of his decision destroyed my family. He was so afraid of my ex he feigned illness but never recused himself. He assured me he was so afraid of him he started carrying a pistol. His fear ensured my child ...would never be safe.

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED

I had the fortunate experience of having Albert Holtz to advise and represent me in my unfortunate life experience...a divorce from my husband of 31 years. I went to Attorney Holtz (Al) with no knowledge of how to proceed or what to expect in filing for divorce. His professionalism, expertise, co...urtesy and care gave me peace of mind. He was up-front, open and honest. He kept me abreast as to what to expect every step of the way. He watched out for me in every aspect of the divorce process. Al gave me confidence and courage in the face of adversity. Albert, I can't say thank you enough. ... "IF WORDS COULD EXPRESS" If words could express my gratitude they would have a heart so full that it palpitates on the verge of a quiet combustion with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue; The words would be warm to the touch; They would feel cozy and soft; They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice; If words could express... If words could express my appreciation They would have trotting feet racing to meet you; They would have a face that shines like the sun and a head held down in respect; They would have a heart so full that it palpitates on the verge of a quiet combustion with beams of red, yellow, orange and blue; The words would be warm to the touch; They would feel cozy and soft; They would speak with a quiet and sincere voice and say, "Thank you. Your caring way means so much to me." ~Bonita

An excellent attorney

I would highly recommend Al Holtz to anyone who is looking for an attorney. While searching for a divorce lawyer, I interviewed three attorneys (both men and women) and am very glad that I selected Al. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and cares about his client as well. Al takes the time to get ...to know his client and listens to what is important to them. He is patient, hard working, efficient and keeps his client well informed on the progress of their case. As my divorce progressed, I felt that I could completely trust Al to take care of my interests and to manage my case. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce. I would highly recommend Al Holtz.

You're in good hands with Al Holtz

It is said that other than the loss of a loved one, divorce is the most traumatic experience to go through. I agree. But having Mr. Holtz on my side made it a lot easier. He and his staff were compassionate and understanding, and really fought for me. It did not matter my husband had hired a "big sho...t" attorney, Al Holtz never backed down. The settlement he negotiated for me was beyond what I had imagined. While going through an "ugly" divorce, I always felt secure and in good hands. I would recommend Al Holtz to anyone is going through a divorce, whether it's a simple one or a complicated one, he is conscientious and fearless.

My divorce

I had the pleasure to have Albert Holtz as my attorney, let me start by saying had it not been for Albert's knowledge of the law I would have been put in a very bad position. He clearly understood my situation and made sure I was taken care of. Albert is very personable and forms a relationship with ...his clients in such a way that he feels personally responsible for their well being. Given the nature of my divorce I will most certainly need a lawyers services in the future, Albert will be the man I go to. I have a medical condition that requires attention constantly, my spouse was trying to divorce me and provide minimal support and Albert fought to make sure that wouldn't happen. He also realized how attached I am and how important my children are to me. He made sure child custody and support was balanced properly. Thank you Albert.
