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!!!

Assault

Steffeny handled my case of assault with a deadly weapon. She was constantly keeping me updated and informed as to avoid any surprises. Her experience played a great role in achieving a positive result. She and her team were very diligent in covering every aspect of the process. Her knowledge of the ...law is what ultimately proved to be our success. Steffeny handled my case with great enthusiasm which gave me confidence in her resolve.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney I have found

I seldom write notes or letters of praise but in the case of Steffeny Holtz I am obliged to make an exception. I have worked with Steffeny for many years. Our relationship is based on trust and competence. Seldom do I have the opportunity to work with a first rate attorney that places dedication to t...he work at hand over “making a buck “. Ms. Holtz ALWAYS puts the needs of the client first and she is persistently cognizant of their legal interests. She excels at trials, legal motions and she is compassionate council to those who may need a bit of advice.

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)

LGTBQ

Where do I even start Steffeny Holtz ! She was beyond amazing!! She was able to meet up with me and my husband way after business hours, and set up a plan to get me out of trouble and followed through every step of the way. I can't even express how blessed I feel to have had Steffeny on my side. She...'s a top notch lawyer, extremely knowledgeable and an amazing friend of the LGBTQ community.

"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."
