DUI

There's no words to describe how much we appreciate Atty Steffeny Holtz. She treated us, not only as her client, but as her own family. She knows exactly what to do from the very start. She's knowledgeable in all her cases. She's well prepared and had given us advices and referrals on what to do next.... She will never leave you behind. She is involved from start to end. We are blessed to have her. She's accessible via phone if not, she will call you back immediately. If there's 100% rating, she is 200% to me. She's excellent and worth it.! She will work with you. She's a God sent to us. She will fight for you and give you the best settlement there is! I can't expressed how much Atty Steffeny had helped us. She's one of a kind! She's an atty with a heart. I'm a testimony of her great job well done!!!

Rape accusation

Steffeny Holtz was referred to me by a friend of mine who's a superior court judge in Los Angeles. He told me that Steffeny was one of the very best criminal defense lawyer he knew. I was falsely accused of rape by a former coworker who at one point was a close friend of mine. After accessing the sit...uation, Steffeny quickly reassured me that the plaintiff was clearly a psychotic liar and that she didn't see how a case could be made against me. She proceeded by calling the detective in charge of the investigation to tell him that there was absolutely no evidence to support any wrong doing and that the accusations were ridiculous. It's been 2 month and I haven't heard anything from the detective...

Excellent Representation

I hired Ms. Hotlz last year because I was charged with an assault with a deadly weapon and using a Taser. Throughout the whole time that I was going thru the criminal Justice system she made me feel comfortable. I was facing 26 plus year. Throughout the whole court procedure she explained to me the t...hings she would be doing. She consulted with me as to her ideas, the evidence, and the prosecution’s case. She asked me to make decisions as to what I wanted to do. She also explained to me the down side of some of my decisions and the upside. As we went to court she was very professional, the court had a lot of respect for her, and even the prosecution had respect for her. She always informed me of the things that were taken place in my case. I must admit there were times she had to hold my hand because I was a nervous wreck. I mean I had a lot to lose. My job, My Family, My Son, My Home and Friends. And just recently it all paid off. I went to court to be sentenced and I ended up getting 3 years’ probation, some Caltrans, and some counseling and my freedom. I don’t think any other attorney would have been able to accomplish what she did. And not to mention her staff was very professional on all levels. And because Ms. Holtz I have my Freedom!

"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."
