I hired Brittany Van Veen after speaking with three other divorce attorneys. I chose her because…read moreshe presented herself well during our initial phone call and appeared to understand that my businesses were my most significant assets and needed careful handling. After approximately eight months of representation and about $20,000+ in legal fees, she informed me that she would no longer represent me. Looking back, I believe the breakdown was largely caused by a serious communication disconnect that could likely have been resolved through one meaningful conversation. Most communication during my case occurred by email. Although email was convenient for routine matters, I spoke with Brittany by phone only two or three times during the entire eight months. As someone going through a divorce for the first time, I did not understand every possible legal scenario, procedural limitation, or consequence. I had certain expectations about what could be completed in order to finalize the divorce quickly, and those expectations turned out to be incorrect. I was frustrated, but I needed my attorney to explain the process, ask questions about my goals, and help identify where the misunderstanding had occurred. Instead, I felt that the communication breakdown was placed entirely on me. I was sent paperwork ending the representation rather than being given an opportunity to have a genuine conversation and repair the attorney-client relationship. The following day, while representing myself, I contacted my former spouse's attorney directly, and we were able to resolve the remaining issues within approximately two days. One of my deepest regrets is that I gave up the opportunity to pursue spousal support because I believed doing so would help bring the divorce to a faster conclusion. I now understand that my expectations were not aligned with the actual process, but that was precisely why I had retained experienced legal counsel. A client hires a divorce attorney because the attorney understands the courts, filings, legal strategy, and consequences that the client does not. I had previously considered transferring my case to another attorney because of other communication concerns, but I was already emotionally overwhelmed, financially invested, and concerned about paying another lawyer to review eight months of work before taking over. That is an extremely vulnerable position for any client. I cannot speak to Brittany's intentions, but I can speak to my experience: I felt unheard, unsupported, and abandoned during a period when I was relying heavily on professional guidance. She was paid for her work, but I was left to manage the final stage of my case alone. It has taken me 2 years to feel capable of writing this review. Interestingly, it was not the divorce itself that required the most emotional recovery. I chose the divorce and remain grateful that I made that decision. What has stayed with me is the regret of placing my trust, vulnerability, and financial resources with a firm where I ultimately did not feel understood or protected. I would like to add that the firm did not even reach out or try to change attorneys within the firm so this is not just a Brittany Van Veen experience. This is absolutely a HOLSTROM Block and Parke experience. Prospective clients should ask detailed questions about how frequently they will be able to speak directly with their attorney, how disagreements or misunderstandings are handled, and what circumstances could cause the firm to withdraw from representation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this attorney or firm.

I hired Holstrom, Block & Parke to represent me in a family law matter. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience has been defined by repeated delays, poor communication and a lack of transparency. I ended the attorney-client relationship in June 2026 and requested my complete file, final billing, trust account records and information about the release of funds being held. I followed up multiple times and escalated the matter internally to the office manager. As of July 23, 2026, I still have not received a clear response explaining the status of the funds or when they will be released. Approximately $108,000 belonging to me and the other party remains in an account connected to this matter. I have repeatedly asked for a current accounting, the steps required for release and a specific timeline. These are urgent financial questions, yet my emails have gone unanswered. I also found much of the communication from the paralegal staff assigned to my case to be condescending, generally unhelpful and often incomplete. In contrast, when the firm requested payment or additional funds, its follow-up was persistent and relentless. Given the firm's high fees and aggressive approach to billing and collections, I expected the same level of urgency, professionalism and responsiveness when I needed answers. Clients should not have to repeatedly pursue a law firm for basic communication, billing information and access to their own funds after representation has ended. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.

Steven Bliss was named as one of the top attorneys for this service in his field and our initial contact was professional and positive. The woman who answered the phone was very friendly and clearly explained the fee structure and how the process works. Three meetings, first two on the phone, third in person to sign the docs. First consult is free, half the fee expected at the second consultation and final payment at the third and final meeting/signing. We set the date for our first consultation and we were instructed to watch a video that answered a lot of our questions before that first meeting. It was Steven giving a seminar, explaining the nuts and bolts of what it is, what is needed, why it's needed, etc. Long, but fast paced and very informative. Mr. Bliss is very perfunctory and doesn't waste time. He's a no-nonsense professional, who explains the process well and helped guide us in the decisions we needed to make in order to make the process of distributing our assets to our heirs as easily and pain free as possible, structured in such a way that even if we add property in the future, it will be covered by our revocable living trust and won't require further legal expenses. We also appreciated that we are invited to call his office at any time with questions should we have any in the future, without worrying about being billed for it. Our service included: Home title changes, revocable living trust, powers of attorney, medical final directives, and last will and testaments for both of us. While the pricing for Steven F. Bliss was not the least expensive we found, the thorough service he provided was well worth the cost, which we still found a very reasonable value for the services provided. There were no surprises, no hidden costs, just professional, thorough, friendly service. I hasten to add that we did in fact, consult with another attorney early in the processes, who is also highly rated and cost less, but for reasons I decline to elaborate on, my wife and I received major red flags resulting from our discussions with the other attorney which cemented our decision of having Steven F. Bliss handle this important paperwork for us. Sometimes, you really DO get what you pay for. After our final consultation yesterday, Steven e-mailed us further instructions today, explaining what additional steps we need to take in order to maximize the protections of our trust. We are very satisfied and highly recommend Steven F. Bliss and his friendly, highly competent office staff.
