Steffeny Is Incredible

Steffeny was Amazing from beginning to end. Not only did she treat my family and I with respect from the very moment of consultation, but to the very end of my case. She takes the time to listen to you, she cares about you and she will go above and beyond what is expected of her. And all without any ...judgement. One of the best decisions of my life so far has been hiring Steffeny to represent me. I can’t thank her enough for all that she’s done.

What an amazing, caring and passionate attorney.

I hired Steffeny Holtz to represent a friend in a criminal case. A case which was his first offense but severe. She immediately took on our case and displayed understanding, patience, and severe determination. She kept us included and involved. I would want her in my corner any time and every time.... Thank you Steffeny for all you’ve done and all that you are. Sylvia.R

Wonderful personality

I was looking at life and Steffeny was hired by my friend and family to help in my case. She took my case very serious and investigated it beyond measure with her team. We took it to trial and I was looking at 30 yrs. She was amazing at my preliminary and my trial her mind was sharp, quick and aggre...ssive. She crossed all her T's and dotted all her i's nothing got passed her. She is a professional at what she does. My 3rd strike hopeless situation and Steffeny's brilliance payed off for me I was freed with a not guilty verdict. She is worth every dollar. From Anthony!!!

The best criminal defense lawyer

My son was falsely accused of a sexual assault felony case and I didn't know what to do or who to hire. But thank God, I was able to find Steffeny Holtz to defend this case. Steffeny was very knowledgeable and represented us well. She is very passionate about what she does and actually cares for... the client. She always stood on our side believing in my son and fought hard to dismiss the case. However, Because the DA didn't want to drop the case, we were finally set for the trial. Steffeny and her team did a superb job preparing for the trial and during that process, they've collected a crucial evidence to the case. 5days before the trial date, the court decided to dismiss the case! DA confessed that she has no case and knew that she will lose once it goes to the trial. and DA even apologized to my son. Now, my son is free from the wrong accusation and imprisonment. Steffeny is the best criminal defense attorney and we highly recommend her. If you want your case dismissed, she is the one who will get you just that. Thank you again Steffeny for saving my son!

"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."
