Confident Choice

I would highly recommend Kirsten as an attorney. She was very accessible and highly responsive. Even with my minor legal matter, she made me a priority. Kirsten clearly walked me through the legal process and steps we would be taking. Her knowledge and assertiveness gave me confidence. We had a very... positive outcome; many thanks to Kirsten.

Best defence Attorney in town

Ms. Holz was my attorney for a retail fraud charge. She was so nice to me. She didnt treat me like a criminal. She was very kind and professional. She fought for me and went above and beyond. I didnt commit the crime I was accused of. Other lawyers would have looked at me as a liar but not her. I kn...ew she believed me and I am so grateful I put my faith in her. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and treat you with kindness and respect Kirsten is the one for you. I highly recommend her. If I ever need legal assistance again she is the Lawyer I'm calling. No question. She is AWESOME.

Best lawyer to fight for you!

I have worked with her, seen her in court, and hands down- no one will fight has hard for your case. She is who I would hire if my life were on the line.

Incredible

She helped me with a moment in my life that if I could take back a hundred times I would. Kirsten actually listens and she actually cares about what you have to say. Not only does she ask questions and do her research but she treats you like a human being and that’s exactly what you need in moments t...hat you need someone in your corner. With her you are never treated like a number or a dollar, just a person that she will fight her hardest for.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
