A time to kill..my Lincoln Lawyer.

It’s hard trying to paint the words that would do Steffeny justice. I’m not going to act like I’m a veteran in the courtroom, but, I have dealt with a handful of different attorneys throughout my days. From my experiences, it doesn’t matter if the attorney is a graduate of Harvard Law or Robert Kar...dashian himself, 9 out of 10 lawyers don’t give a damn about you and will charge you 2 arms and 2 legs for it. That being said, Steffeny has repeatedly been that 1 out of 10 diamond in the rough for my family and I. Let me just reiterate how much I despise the thought of having to work with an attorney in a court of law, let alone an attorney that I don’t have 100% of my trust or confidence in. Steffeny on the other hand, has always been very active in handling our cases, transparently communicative with my family and myself, as well as staying strategically, mentally, and verbally 2 steps ahead of the courtroom. She has been the light both throughout and at the end of my tunnel on multiple legal cases over the years, she won’t hesitate to go above and beyond, and she won’t try to charge you both your arms and legs. But what’s more important, in my opinion, is the peace of mind you’ll get knowing you’re in the best of hands. Can’t thank you enough Steffeny! - Simon S.

Fearless Fighter With A Big Heart

Steffeny Holtz is a fearless fighter. Empowered by her fast thinking and thorough knowledge of the law, this attorney will strategize with you to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation. When my legal battle was emotionally overwhelming, Ms. Holtz was in the trenches with me and doing a...ll of the heavy lifting. I felt at ease once she took command over my difficult situation. She is an excellent and assertive communicator, both verbally and in writing. Those skills are important when someone is going to be representing you. She is surrounded by a team of professionals that share her integrity, competence, work ethic and dedication to your case. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily accessible this attorney made herself to me. She answers her own phone or personally returns my calls promptly. No fancy secretary? This is very rare for most high profile attorneys, but it is a perfect demonstration of Ms. Holtz’s personable yet no nonsense style. In short, you will not find a more passionate, intelligent or hard working attorney to fight on your behalf. I highly recommend her and can honestly say that she is worth every single dollar of her fees.

Life saver!!!

Hello my name is Alex, to start off I just really want to thank Steffeny for saving my life in a bizzare case. This case really had me stressed out from the get go, however Steffeny rolled up her sleeves and Went to work. She is very very detailed in what’s going on with the case. I was looking at t...hree years prison!! I came out with only probation!! I was very very worried day and night for this matter, Steffeny made the impossible possible, she will fight for the freedom of her clients. She uses common sense , something that most people lack now a days. She will guide you every step of the way and what to prepare for. If you are worried for ANY legal issue DO NOT hesitate to call her, have your trust in her as much as you can for she will do what Is best for you. I cannot stress how grateful I am for her, she is truly a blessing and I thank her very much for the dedication she puts in her clients. My case was a bizarre hit and run that changed my life, Steffeny saw how bad I was shook up from this tragic event and guided me through thick and thin.

Amazing Attorny

A friend referred Steffeny to us and when I reached out to her, she took on my daughter's case. After hiring Steffeny, she was personal and professional. Steffeny treated my daughter as if she was her own and was able to connect with my daughter and defend her above and beyond expectations. Steffeny... was able to have all charges dropped because she took action quickly and believed in the better good. I would recommend her to all that are looking for a criminal attorney.

"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."
