Best Lawyer

I've known her for 21 years, have consulted and hired her with my clients as I was running a lived in rehab program in CA. Many of them,not only satisfied with her works but also so grateful for her sincere attitude,expressed she is very intelligent criminal lawyer who knows how and has a big heart f...or people in desperate situations.She especially has served to Korean community since I met her in many different ways. It's very hard to find the right attorney theses days but I strongly recommend her as the best criminal defense lawyer. Pastor. Young (Consultant)

Thank God for an Attorney who cares!!!

I recently had the opportunity of having Steffeny Holtz defend my 20 year old son against charges of felony kidnapping and grand theft auto. From the very beginning we believed she would prove to be a God send for our family and thankfully we were not disappointed. She was very compassionate, thoro...ugh, and carefully executed brilliant strategy that would result in dismissal of both cases!! My son avoided a devastating blow. He has been granted the amazing gift of a 2nd chance!!! We are eternally grateful to Ms. Holtz. We will never forget the outstanding job she did. Thank God for an amazing lawyer who cares!! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great defense attorney. Ms. S. Love

Great Criminal Attorney. Compassionate, Good Listener, Puts her clients first!

Steffeny Holtz was referred to our family by a friend. A family member was facing 20 counts of felony charges and was considered a flight risk. Great kid who just got caught up. Our family was desperate to get her help. After being told by many lawyers to brace ourselves because she will be locked up... for a long time, and possibly be deported- Steffany was able to comb through her case and reduced her charges and got her help through rehab. She did not have to spend any time in jail. Today, our family member is married with children and is running a very successful business. Thank you Steffany for believing in her and not losing hope. You gave her another chance to have a good life.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have practiced immigration law in Los Angeles for 20 years. During this time, Steffeny has been my go-to defense attorney for many of my clients facing immigration consequences due to pending criminal charges. Fortunately, Steffeny has come to the rescue on each case. Without reservation, I can say Steffeny is simply the best. She is very professional, has great instincts, and knows how to articulate a winning strategy. In my experience, Steffeny has always produced the desired result, no matter how difficult the case. I have found Steffeny to be relentless in her defense. She will not be intimidated. Steffeny is a master at dismissals, negotiating pleas, and trying cases. Recently, she got a dismissal under very trying circumstances in a case that could not be won at trial. In another, she got my client a relatively harmless accessory after the fact instead of a much more serious drug offense. No case is too difficult."

"Steffeny is AMAZING!!! She is my go-to referral for criminal defense work and I highly recommend her. She really will FIGHT for you and an added bonus is she's compassionate. You can not go wrong hiring or referring her. We met first year (more like first day) of law school and it has been a blessing for me to have known her for more than 25 years. Congratulations Steffeny on all of your accomplishments. I applaud you."

"I am a civil litigation attorney that has a long time friend who was charged with multiple counts of horrible crimes that could have added up to multiple life sentences. I participated in the interviewing and retention of Ms. Holz and watched her try my friend's case. She is smart, courageous and persistent. She was not afraid to confront opposing counsel, unfavorable witnesses and even the court when necessary. She stood behind my friend, looked the jury in the eyes and told them she was proud to represent him. He is now free. I would recommend her to anyone."
