We provide professional representation in the following areas:
Personal Injury
Injuries sustained in an accident can affect every aspect of your life, making daily tasks and maintaining employment difficult or even impossible. Navigating the world of insurance can be scary, especially when insurance companies undervalue your case and refuse to compensate you fairly.

Automobile Accidents
Bus Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents
Truck Accidents
Texting and Driving Accidents
Business Litigation
Owning a business can be exciting and cause anxiety at the same time. Most people want to focus on their business and do what they are good at rather than figuring out legal issues that intersect with their business activities. The attorneys at Olivier Miles Holtz represent a wide variety of business ranging from small family owned companies to large corporations. The firm has been involved in a variety of complex litigation including:
EB-5
Shareholder Disputes
Construction
Landlord-Tenant
Trademark
Copyright
Olivier Miles Holtz will work with you to resolve complex business disputes, so that you can keep your business running without the stress of a lawsuit. Our dedicated team will stand by you through each stage of litigation, allowing you to focus on what is important in life rather than worrying about a lawsuit.
Criminal Defense
Most people are stunned, fearful, and often of unclear mind when approached by an officer. This occurs whether or not the party has committed a wrongful act. It is simply the status of the enforcer’s position. If an officer does detain you and asks you questions, you may be recorded. It is so easy for a person to say the wrong thing, to misstate a fact, or to arrive at incorrect conclusions.
Officers have been trained to elicit admissions and confessions and to gather evidence to prove allegations. It is not frowned upon for an officer to tell a lie in order to convince the citizen under investigation to provide a needed statement. An officer can use trickery by pretending to be one’s friend or play down the alleged crime. Sometimes, the police invite a citizen to voluntarily visit the police station to discuss a potential investigation and attempt to obtain statements that are later used to incriminate you.
As a result, whether you are facing charges or are under investigation, it is imperative that you get the right attorney involved early in the process, prior to speaking with law enforcement. This can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
The lawyers at Olivier Miles Holtz have extensive experience in the full spectrum of misdemeanor and felony charges in both State and Federal Court. Whether the charges involve an alcohol or drug related offense, such as a DUI (driving under the influence), possession of marijuana or even a more serious drug offense, such as possession or distribution of a controlled substance, our lawyers will defend you zealously every step of the way. We also have extensive experience with charges, including but not limited to, murder, manslaughter, assault and other violent crimes, sex offenses, white collar crimes, theft/embezzlement type crimes, DUIs and other driving crimes.
We understand the severe consequences criminal charges can have on you and your loved ones, including but not limited to sizable fines, prison or jail-time as well as a criminal history that may substantially affect your future goals and employment. We take all charges or potential investigations very seriously and vow to aggressively defend you for the best possible outcome in your case.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries are all too common. If you get hurt on the job, your employer is required to pay you workers’ compensation benefits. The lawyers at Olivier Miles Holtz are skilled at helping injured workers establish their entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits include payments of medical expenses, pharmaceutical expenses, a portion of their weekly wages, total temporary disability benefits, total permanent disability benefits, partial permanent benefits, and other benefits allowed by South Dakota state law.
It’s important as an injured worker to know your rights. South Dakota’s worker compensation laws are complex, but the attorneys at Olivier Miles Holtz will help you navigate any claim you may have as a result of a workplace injury.
