We consulted this firm for a high-conflict custody and child support case. Initially, we reached out to retain Kristen Holstrom, but during the consultation, Timothy McArdle joined the call and outlined a clear plan for our case. Both were knowledgeable, and we retained Timothy. Our case was resolved out of court with a favorable modification to the custody schedule. Timothy took the time to understand the details of our situation and consistently showed empathy and reassurance throughout the process. He was professional, well spoken, direct, and knew the case like the back of his hand. His case coordinator, James Chase, was responsive, which helped us feel informed at every step. Family court is stressful, and clear communication made a difference. The firm is expensive, but for us, the results were worth it. We now have peace of mind knowing we have strong representation advocating for my husband's rights as a father. Highly recommend if you're seeking counsel to represent you to go the distance. read more

To follow-up on my previous review of this law firm, I only wanted to add the results I had been waiting for. Chandra saw my poor review of her performance and effort in my divorce & custody case she was handling, so she retaliated against me, by forcing my Appeals Case attorney, Ron Funk, who also works for the same law firm, to completely drop my case, with only a couple of weeks until we were set to appear and Ron was supposed to present his appeals arguments. Instead, I ended-up with no choice but to appear for my appeal representing myself and arguing all of Ron Funks points, which frankly were confusing and referencing precedent set in various lawsuits and Supreme Court decisions in recorded law history. Since I'm no attorney, when the appeals board attorneys began grilling me about proving our points through citing specific case-law, etc. I did a horrible job and barely understood what they were asking me. Instead of being straight forward and simple, everything in the Civil/Family Law Court system in America, especially in San Bernardino Superior Courts, in San Bernardino, CA., the sense of fairness and justice is obviously broken, corrupted, biased, and nothing need be evidence based, most decisions are made at one judges whims after glancing at the courtroom minutes and orders, for all of 15 minutes (AT BEST, I'd SAY) and the blindfold upon the face of lady justice has slipped off completely. Oh well, I was only appealing a judge allowing my ex to move my 3 young children from California to Florida, which predictably alienated me from my children completely. The results of the appeal did not go my way, and the appeals judges cited that while they didn't really fault me for not being fluent with old case-law nor Ron Funks writings, but they said Ron Funks arguments did not show cause for reversing the previous court ruling allowing her to move. However, I did win part of the appeal in which my divorce judge unconstitutionally forced me into providing hair-follicle drug testing results (all of which came back negative for drugs - yet those results were somehow improperly interpreted by the idiot judge as being positive, and the 3 hair-follicle test results I provided, were the basis for me losing custody of my children completely), which is illegal in California, so those requests for those hair drug tests and all of the results, and anything pertaining to those results were all stricken from the divorce case records. Naturally that implies that custody of my children would be given back to me, however to this day on January 27, 2026, I have yet to have custody modified back to normal 50/50 split between my ex and I. I believe if Ron Funk was present to explain his own writings and his own logic and thought process for the appeal case, that I may have won that appeal and I wouldn't have had to quit my career of 25 years in California to move to my kids neighborhood in Florida, and this nightmare I'm unable to wake from may have been prevented like Ron Funk had convinced me he would and could do. So, since Ron Funk recommended I use Chandra for my divorce case, and she performed poorly and unethically, IN MY OPINION, and I fired her and wrote a review of her on Yelp!, she and the other partners at Holstrom, Block & Parke discussed my review, and then told Ron Funk he needed to drop my appeals case immediately. Ron Funk told me he had no choice because of my review of a partner at his law firm. He then sent a substitution of attorney form , leaving me with no attorney for the appearance in court for my important life-altering appeals case the day after I posted Chandra's harsh, yet honest and accurate review. read more

Absolutely the most terrible experience and worst fear a client could have come to life with this firm. We've all heard stories of someone hiring a moving company to pack up their life and take them across the country because they can't do it alone. The company and the client agree on a deposit price and costs will be calculate per milage along the way.... Now imagine they drive 50 miles from your home so it's too far for you to walk your possessions back but still 500 miles from your destination, and suddenly they demand triple the deposit. When you say, "hey, I can get you the money, but how are we calculating this? Can we talk this through?" they just unload your belongings on the side of the road and drive off. That's what happened here. I hired this firm during one of the hardest moments of my life. Divorce is scary, overwhelming, and deeply personal. Atty. Tim McArdle came across as knowledgeable and skilled. I genuinely believed I had found someone who could help me navigate this storm. Unfortunately, what I experienced after paying my retainer was the opposite. In a moment of vulnerability, I shared my full budget for the case and within the first month, the bill was clearly a race to that amount. The retainer was exhausted immediately, and I was told I'd need to pay nearly double the retainer to continue representation. When I tried to have a respectful conversation about the billing so I could plan ahead, communication abruptly stopped. My calls and emails went unanswered for weeks. Work on my case appeared to stop, and despite repeated requests, documents were not filled and I not given copies of the documents I was billed for. I have a right to the documents im being billed for and my client file. When I exerted this Office manager Christie Kaiser informed me that the firm would no longer represent me and that if I didn't voluntarily release them from representation they may bill me further.... Even though they had not done any work on my case for weeks. Ask yourself if you think thats ethical. Ask google. Please stay far away from this firm. I hired an attorney to help me, and instead I was left stranded and in a worse position than when I started. read more

I cannot recommend Kristen Holstrom highly enough. She took on my case with only a few days' notice over a weekend, and yet came to my hearing fully prepared, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable about the details and history of my situation. From the very start, she guided me through each possible outcome, ensuring I felt informed and ready for anything. Kristen absolutely owned the courtroom--she advocated for me with clarity and strength, leaving the opposing counsel with nothing substantial to say in return. Her presence and preparation made all the difference. I'm also incredibly grateful for her team, who drafted an exceptional written response that clearly played a major role in helping the judge see the full picture and ultimately maintain my majority custody. Kristen and her team are not only sharp, responsive, and professional--they are fierce advocates. I'm beyond thankful I had them in my corner. read more

Wow! The worst experience ever! Do your research!!! Looked at their history and dealing with clients. DONT BELIEVE IT! read more

I had retained Holstrom, Block and Parke for an ongoing contentious divorce. After over two months and over $10,000, I changed counsel due to absolutely nothing being accomplished. I was essentially at square one, but out a substantial amount of money. Since, I have retained new counsel and have accomplished more in one week than two months. Ex post facto, I had been advised this firm is an excellent firm for the "stay at home housewife," but not for a high income male with a vindictive spouse. I should have done more research. And I advise all others in my position to take your time and find a firm that would be more aligned with your specific needs. read more

My attorney was Mr. Jeremy Roark, He was very knowledgeable and communication was amazing. He explained everything very well and his staff made sure I was aware of everything in a timely manner. I would recommend his services 100%. You will not be disappointed with the hard work and dedication him and his staff will give to you and your case. Divorce is a difficult time and it's nice to know you have someone as good as him in your corner. read more

SCAM ! They take your money and put you in debt just after speaking for two minutes in one court hearing. We spent a RIDICULOUS amount of money on these lawyers just for them to put us in debt until we couldn't pay anymore and for them just to throw away everything that was worked on since we couldn't pay them another 15 THOUSAND. Now if we want them to continue the case we have to pay the 15 thousand BUT they won't "continue" the case.. apparently they would have to "start over" .. so SOMEHOW that would be another 5 thousand. So all the money we already spent went to the trash and if we want to keep fighting we have to somehow come up with another total of 20 thousand. Don't waste your time or money. The system is corrupt. read more

I counted on this firm during recent custody issues, and it was a total waste of my money. Lots of big talk, no results. They even have a subdivision called "Custody Queens" with advertisements on social media and a weekly radio show. Yes - social media and a radio show -- for a "professional law firm". They doll themselves up and present a pristine image. I just wish they spent as much attention on serving their client needs and/ or writing acceptable court documents as they did on hair, make-up and nice social media posts. After spending tens of thousands of dollars in fees with this firm, they've now ghosted me and have blocked me on social media (specifically Instagram). The reason: because I left the following honest feedback. This is what has happened over the last couple years: Family Law is a cluster-bomb to begin with, but I thought I finally had hope when I engaged with them. NOPE! Yeah, Family Law is tough for attorneys. And as we all know, and I wish they kept in mind, divorce and custody matters are VERY DIFFICULT and often times traumatic for the people involved - especially our children! Here are the key highlights of my experience with this firm: * My attorney bailed on me less than 24 hours before a HUGE important hearing * This caused a 15 month delay in my case! (The pandemic was not their fault, but bailing just before the hearing absolutely was) * This resulted in my "X" continuing to collect unjustified support payments (which the attorney couldn't negotiate down, or even try?) * They advised me to drop contempt charges for my "X" breaking court order - this further enabled and embolden X's horrific behavior * COUP DE GRAS - they wrote up and submitted a court order, "Stipulated Agreement," that I quickly found out was UNENFORCEABLE! I'm now out tens of thousands of dollars in fees to them, and had NEGATIVE progress in my case - because of them. In the past I actually made MUCH more progress mulling through on my own. Now due to my engagement (and the gobs of $$$ paid in fees) with this firm, my "X's" behavior is emboldened and things are worse than they ever have been. As it stands at this moment, they won't return my calls or offer to do anything about the unenforceable stipulated agreement that THEY wrote up -- which was the entire point of my engagement with them in the first place! - they've blocked me and deleted my feedback elsewhere, and I'm completely out the tens of thousands of dollars I've paid in fees. read more

I felt Sam listened to everything I had to say. She sought to understand where I was coming from and what I needed. I felt like she advocated for me every step of the way. One thing I appreciated about her the most was her honesty and her frankness. If something I requested or was inquiring about would end up costing me more in attorney fees than what I was asking for, she was very honest about that. She took my financial situation into consideration and made sure to do everything she could to make the process as affordable for me as possible. Although attorneys are not cheap, regardless of how they are representing you, I wholeheartedly appreciate the efforts she made to keep my costs low. One thing I would recommend, as the client, is to read over all documents, settlements, requests, and other items in writing and check for misspellings and grammatical errors because I did see quite a few of those. Aside from that, I feel at peace knowing I had Sam representing me throughout my divorce. Her confidence and knowledge of laws surrounding divorce provided me with even more comfort in choosing her as my representation. I would recommend Sam to anyone going through a divorce who needs to feel safe, listened to, and advocated for. In regards to the firm, I like the new form of invoices they started using much better. They are now electronic and easy to follow. I liked being able to see the breakdown of my trust funds and the expenses just seemed to be more clear and easier to understand. read more

Well prepared/Thorough/Effective I have been a client of HBP for almost two years dealing with an on-going custody situation. HBP has worked with me extensively in terms of the specificity and idiosyncrasy of my case as well as being reasonable with my finances as a single parent/fulltime student. The firm went to bat for me on two related cases (one in another county over 100 miles away). The HBP group continues to work diligently on my behalf, doing extensive work/research about the particulars of the case to ensure that I am well represented and my custody share over my daughter is protected. Sam McBride has been representing me through my tumultuous custody journey. She has been a reliable attorney, always prepared/professional/personable in a straight forward way. Sam has been thorough in responding to my various inquiries and providing resources and support when issues arise regarding my case. Likewise, in court and with in-person conversations, Sam has been effective in dealing with any matters related to my case. Margo Emil has been the paralegal working on my case. I always appreciate the work Margo does from relaying information and questions between me and my attorney, drafting statements and letters on my behalf, to communicating with me about matters related to my case. She has been a noteworthy person in this process, always responding to my questions and concerns and providing additional support as needed. read more

I retained Rejeanne Eyre from this firm and it was the worst experience of my life. She did not carefully review my case and did not defend the way an attorney should. After spending close to 15k, I ended up switching attorneys and was able to get a little help from the new attorney, however Rejeanne was by far the worst attorney I have ever experienced. She will not return your emails/calls, she does not care about the safety of the client and she blatantly does not care all together. I do not recommend her or this firm. Please do your research. read more

I chose Holstrom, Block, & Parke, specifically Chandra Moss, because they touted themselves as men's advocates in divorce cases. I felt relatively confident after sitting with Chandra during the initial interview that I could conclude my divorce in a timely and fair manner. The divorce was indeed handled more quickly than it was moving before her involvement, but I am convinced it was at the cost of fairness because my case did not "fit in the boxes" due to some extenuating circumstances she/they were either unable or unwilling to deal with. One example is that my ex-wife had been cohabitating with another during much of the proceedings even though I had been paying an agreed upon spousal support. She had perjured herself, though we had ample strong evidence to support the fact of cohabitation. Yet attorney Moss chose not to pursue this at any level and, at the very least, use the evidence as a viable negotiation tool! Secondly, I was paying half of what was considered a community debt (borrowed from her mother's home for a failed business venture) because I did not want her mother to lose her home. However, this was carried over she characterized the "community debt" (my name wasn't even on the loan against her mother's home) in the orders as "additional support". The intent here was to make this payment tax deductible along with the rest of the spousal support, but the unintended consequence is that it can never be the subject of a bankruptcy action...something Chandra said at the time may be a strategy for later. Subsequently, the home has been sold at a substantial profit and, as the orders are written, I get no benefit (tax credit related to mortgage, a portion of proceeds, etc.) even though I was seeking no proceeds nor profit...only relief since the debtor has been paid in full. Finally, the standard Gavron clause was issued for my ex-wife in the orders, but again Chandra and team do not see fit to pursue that, either! My ex has done nothing of consequence to better her situation and is quite content with bleeding me (as she did for most of our marriage)! Chandra and team did not/do not see fit to fight on my behalf! If you are a "cookie cutter" case I believe this team may serve you well. If not, and you have some unusual circumstances as I did/do, let's just say her lawyer was better than mine!! read more

Absolute joke! Three years to never finalize a divorce. Kept billing me thousands of dollars and no real positive outcome. Still not divorced! Don't waste your money. read more

$10,000 and 6 months later and not a single thing done on the divorce and custody case! No mediation. No agreements. No movement on selling the house. This law firm promised me results and a quick resolution because of "how agressive" they are. Bullshit. Sat back. Didn't return calls or emails. Didn't know the judges or work to the benefit of this client Fired this firm and hired a local boy out of Murrieta who actually knows my judge. Turns out I am in a worse spot BECAUSE of Holstrom law firm not acting on my behalf. Raising two children alone and this firm didn't take one step to protect me from stalking or secure child support from the other parent making $6k/mo. I'm on debt and farther behind than when I started thanks to this firm. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

Divorce is stressful enough so picking an attorney to represent me was itself frightening. Frankly, I picked this firm in great part due to the fact they were nearby. Was I ever surprised? They were far more. Chandra and Corrina were outstanding, allaying my concerns, being frank and thorough on possible maneuvers, strategies and outcomes and they made me feel welcomed and appreciated. I was kept informed and calls were answered quickly and efficiently. The invoices were clear and supported. There is no such thing as a good divorce but if you find yourself facing it, reach out to HBP and ask for Chandra. read more

Samantha and Windy were top notch, they both provided the best service. Previously I had poor legal counsel that did not know my case and really complicated my situation. This was not the case with HBP, we went over my case and with the help of Samantha and Windy we were able to get my children's visitation time restored back to equal time. read more

I previously retained Kristen Holstrom and Samantha McBrides services. This was in 2015 before the major inflation. I hired Kristen but she handed it over to Samantha. I love this law firm because they all help each other, they gather resources and combine their specialties to give you the best chance at representing your case in a way that will get you the best outcome possible. Samantha McBride took the case by the horns from the very beginning. She was a freaking dream! She was so knowledgeable and helped make my declaration a master piece. She prepared me for my mediation and I was able to walk into mediation with a cool head. She hits on very key elements of your case and keeps you from going off the tracks with tangents and keeps you from wasting time and money. I know it doesn't happen every time but Samantha got me everything I asked for. I've had 50/50 custody of my daughter since she was only 3 months old and I have her to thank. I'm currently going through court to try to get full custody and representing myself. I called in and the staff was still very nice and spent a good amount of time with me to hear my situation. Even though I do not have the resources to retain their services again, I have retained the knowledge that they taught me so I'm able to keep my cool through the process. If I had the money to hire her or any of their attorneys in their office again I would do it in a heartbeat!!! I've referred many others in my situation to their law firm and the ones who have retained their services have been very happy. If you have the money to protect yourself and your loved ones by using their services you should do it ASAP. read more

I hired this firm in March of 2015 to help facilitate my divorce. It was a pretty simple divorce, not a big estate. I met with Mr. Parke and Mr. Holstrom for a consultation. I was assured to be protected and the best representation. As of Today, I am still not divorced. Have not seen ONE PENNY (the firm has them all along with my dishonest X). I have paid them more than what the estate is worth. I would have to call and write the same concerns over and over again. The only person that tried to retrieve any thing for me or listen to me was the paralegal at the time. I asked over and over again to go to the Judge for support, some sort of enforcement. It was always shut down. If we were in court, Mr. Parke would not stand up for me or object to anything. If I tried to write something or ask him about anything he would shut me down.. My life, health and lively hood has drastically been damaged. If I never went to them I would obviously be in a much better position. All I did is throw money out the window, had a company I owned 50% of ripped off,& my personal belongings stolen by my Husband, lost my health insurance, any bills that were being paid, and $100,000. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. The fact that any human being can do this to another knowingly is just unbelievable. To Whom It May Concern: This Firm had a Fiduciary Responsibility to Me, he breached our contract. Several actions would be considered Malpractice. Specifically Mr. Parke repeatedly failed to perform services, and as a result, violated Several Rules of Professional Conduct. ~ In April 2015 I retained Mr. Parke to represent me in divorce proceedings. I was assured he was an expert Certified Family Law Specialist. Our estate was not large by any means. Now at this point due to his behavior I am in a worse position I have ever been had I not retained him. He has basically used any monies as a credit card with no limit. ~ As the bills reveal, there is purposeful padding of fees, one of many ethical violations that have occurred. ~ Coerced Collections, not performing without placing an attorney lien on my home that was for sale. ($50,000). Assuring me "I know it sounds like a large amount, we won't use it all, we just don't want to have to keep going back for additional disbursements" It's was used up as quickly as possible, they found any reason to bill for it. ~If I questioned my bills, or his performance I was called in the office threatened to be fired, or told stories how it was going to be if we didn't work as a team. (and I was billed for this) ~ Condescending Emails. ~ His Retention Letter cannot be used to Justify unreasonable fees. ~In my Opinion... ~ He breached the code of Professional Conduct & Responsibility By Charging and Collecting Excessive Fees. ~ Promises he made were not followed through upon. ~ Excessive Time to complete tasks ~ VERY Excessive and NOT reasonable Staffing on the case. I was told on several occasions at least three of the staff had to be CC'd ~ Double Billing ~ Charging me to pay for his new attorney's and Paralegals to learn my case. Having me provide the same documents several times that they already had in their possession. ~ In my opinion a Lawyer is not permitted to profit off unethical behavior. ~ Repeatedly asking for the same documents, not presenting what I was promised in court, or objecting to a harmful decision the Judge made several times for me. Never reading my notes in court. Never following through on specific orders the court made to respondent. ~ He disobeyed my lawful instructions pretty much through the entire case. I was billed for all of these incompetent decisions he made unilaterally. I asked several time to try and settle the case. That never happened. There was no concern how long this case was and still is dragging out. ~ I will not even recover the fees he charged me from the Estate. He knew there were not that many assets. read more

I found myself facing a contempt case filed by my child's father after 4 years custody battle and I needed to find an attorney that was fair, strong, professional, and most importantly, compassionately human. I found all these characteristics in Mr. Daniel McCammon who was assigned to me by the law firm he works for Holstrom Block and Parke, one of the most prestigious and aggressive law firms. Right from our initial consultation, I knew Mr. McCammon was the right attorney for me. He listened attentively, asked good questions, and really made me feel at ease. I didn't want someone who was egotistical or vengeful. I needed someone that would immerse themselves in my particular situation and case, and diligently follow through. Not to mention someone that exhibits extreme intelligence, knowledge, and experience. Throughout the process, I was always kept updated and informed about the proceedings and what to expect next. I found Mr. McCammon and his capable staff especially Miss Margo Emil to be readily accessible and responsive to any of my needs and inquiries. His administrative and professional staff demonstrated the upmost professionalism and courtesy. Although my case became much more involved and drawn out than I would have ever expected, I was relieved and so thankful to have Mr. McCammon as my representative and advocate. I truly enjoyed working with him, and was quite pleased with the resolution and outcome. We hit a Home Run Today! And if you win it says all about your attorney. Mr. McCammons fees and billings were also extremely fair, considering I was facing a contempt case, and he had the whole team on board, literarily! I would highly recommend Mr. Daniel McCammon from Holstrom Block and Parke law firm to anyone seeking one of the most top-notched attorneys in Riverside or San Bernardino counties. read more

I hired this law firm for a simple divorce and they dragged their feet and made errors that I caught. I'm not a lawyer but I caught the errors and the final agreement to the division of property was spearheaded by ME not my lawyer nor the paralegal. When my lawyer, Ron Funk saw what I had worked out for myself he said "wow that's pretty good", no Thanks to you Mr. Funk!! They work with a retainer account meaning you provide them $3000 that they can charge their expenses to, and let me tell you they are on your back to keep that retainer replenished. Well 2 yrs and more than $30k later I'm still trying to get the final documentation from my lawyer. Oh and did I mention that there was a credit of over $1300 left in my Trust account when finalized and it has taken them more than 6 months to return the money back to me? Ok COVID but there was no grace time on that replenishment and they called me constantly and threaten not to represent me if I didn't replenish the account. They have constant staff changes so obviously they can't seem to keep their people. 2 yrs and more than $30k later ugh. Their office staff have been a nightmare to deal with as well! Ms. Christie Kaiser, she can't seem to answer any questions. Her subordinate Anthony Giles, oh this guy!! Rude, cocky and never delivered on anything he promised. I asked him to expedite my refund check and it never happened. Oh and I bet your wondering about Mr. Funk? I left several voicemail messages and he has yet to respond. Steer clear of this Law Firm if you don't, you will definitely regret it. Btw, I would have given zero stars if that was an option. My next visit/call will be with the Better Business Bureau. read more

I found Holstrom Block & Parke on AVVO and scheduled a consultation with Sam McBride. She is extremely informative, knowledgeable, and honest. Both Sam and Margo Emil responded to my emails promptly and drafted multiple correspondence to opposing counsel for urgent matters, immediately. Court and custody battles can be extremely stressful and draining but Sam constantly reassured me that everything would be okay and advocated for me and my son. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and the services provided. Thank you to the entire firm for being kind and responsive during this process. read more

I needed information on estate planning and had ample questions on trusts and wills - etc. I called several local attorneys and rarely got through to anyone. Your office reps put me in touch with one of your client managers - Kayla who was very enthusiastic and professional. Kayla suggested I speak directly with your estate team - Summer or Melanie. Neither rep was there at the time I called but Kayla assured me they would call me right back. Melanie called me within the hour and was a great listener - she asked me a few questions to clarify concerns and made me feel more comfortable about options and direction to consider. Both Melanie and Kayla treated me with respect kindness and with a sense of urgency. I appreciate their professionalism and care for potential clients. read more

Great Job William Hinz. You wrote your rebuttal to their filing without even seeing the complaint against me. The Court turned them down and we laughed all the way home! Great experience!

In early 2016, I had a consultation for a family lawyer and met with Attorney Kristen Holstrom of Holstrom Block and Park First off is their firm overall, very gorgeous from the inside out. The staff take your experience to a whole different level, each person I encountered to this day are professional, kind and courteous. Consultation: The day that I met Attorney Kirsten Holstrom, I knew I liked her right off the bat. She was kind, considerate but most importantly, very very HONEST and straightforward. She listened to what I wanted, asked what I needed, then set a realistic expectation for me. After our consult, I retained HBP to represent me. As my case took a turn and things went a completely different way from just a custody case, Attorney Kristen Holstrom continued to never let me walk down this new path alone. She was always there to guide me and help me make informed decisions. Other Attorney's: As my case progressed I met and worked with other attorneys such as Ronald Funk and Samantha McBride. Each attorney was both very professional and a pleasure to work with. I really felt as though they were on my side, made a clear path for expectations and if they did not have an answer, there was no hesitation in consulting with others to ensure they directed me appropriately. Overall: After another successful court date last week, I couldn't stress more how much this firm has done for me. I am glad that I took the chance and called for that consultation, without Attorney Kristen Holstrom and her entire team, I do not know where I or my daughter would be today. I encourage anyone who ever considered hiring an attorney to not hesitate to contact this firm for at least a consultation. Every person I speak with, even if I do not know them personally, I immediately provide them with contact info for Holstrom Block and Parke when they mention the need for an attorney. You cant go wrong! read more

Extremely Knowledgeable and Caring Attorney. Attorney Samantha McBride has been my attorney for over two years in a on-going custody case. During this time, Attorney McBride has proven herself not only to be an excellent, knowledgeable attorney, but also caring and sincerely shown concern in my daughters and my custody case. Attorney McBride has kept me informed on new revelations and answered my questions in a readily fashion. Ms. McBride is always well prepared and has gone above and beyond by contacting me even after hours to make sure I have the information or any questions answered. Attorney McBride has been well versed in court and quick to answer questions presented by the judge. Thus far through her knowledge and hard work we have been granted Temporary Sole legal and sole physical custody. read more

In early 2018 I was faced with the difficult task of separating from my wife of 21 years. We had come to the conclusion amicably and had every intention of conducting a very civil divorce, keeping the well being of our 10 year old son at the forefront of our intentions. Within a few weeks it became apparent that we hadn't considered a fraction of the issues that we would have to resolve. After 6 months my ex finally stated she was getting an attorney and that I should get one as well. I was referred to Kristen Holstrom by a close friend who simply described her as "the best family attorney in the area." After realizing the mess I had made trying to handle things on my own, I decided that I was done with half-measures and set up an appointment with Kristen to discuss my case. The first thing I noticed in our meeting was the immediate sense of purpose and concern from Kristen, Samantha and the rest of their team. They allowed me to completely explain the history of my separation and provide the total context for my decisions up to that point. She kept the focus on what outcomes I was looking for moving forward rather than forcing a pre-determined strategy on me, asking pertinent questions that got to the heart of what I wanted to protect and why. She provided sound advice on how to achieve the specific goals I presented while keeping the greater objective of caring for my son at the forefront of our decisions. Kristen's team showed a wealth of experience in dealing with complicated scenarios and a mastery at communicating under difficult conditions. Over the course of the divorce proceedings I was kept continually appraised of updates and given undivided attention to discuss pertinent decisions. After half a year of digging through internet search results for guidance on the most important decisions of my life it felt incredibly reassuring to have Kristen and her team at my side. The final divorce settlement exceeded all of my expectations, including my desire to maintain a healthy relationship with the mother of my son. My only regret was not contacting her sooner in the process. read more

My daughter is roughly 18mo and I wanted to go back to court to request more time with her. Her mother responded with lies and heresay, and even tried to use my medical condition (Multiple Sclerosis) as a reason to ask to REDUCE my time with our daughter rather than doing what is best for her. I was not sure what was going to happen but Jeffrey was calm, cool and collected from the start. Her attorney tried to insinuate that I had missed visitations and even said things like "why are we even here?" Were here because a father wants more time with his daughter! Jeffrey is confident and knows his stuff like the back of his hand. I highly recommend Jeffrey. I also wanted to mention Kristen and Melody who were a part of the prepping portion, and they both were extremely knowledgeable and attentive. My entire experience was amazing! read more

Holstrom, Block & Parke's "entire" law firm staff have displayed the upmost knowledge and professionalism as a team when handling my case. As well as compassion and respect for ones situation (as every divorce matter differs from one extreme to the other). Don't just call and get a feel, make it to your initial consultation and you will have a great first impression and a "real" feel. You face to face impression and comfort level is what matters when hiring an attorney who will know your deepest past issues and true feelings towards legal matters. At Holstrom, Block & Parke you have the advantage of a variation of attorneys. Because of my positive experience with regards to my divorce case, I when on to hire the firms representing probate attorney. My only advise to each and everyone (considering I previously worked with a Bankruptcy Law Firm and was a great experience) Be patient, yet clear with your requests. Communication is the key, as every case needs much of the clients involvement as well as the attorney. My focus was, always understating my case surely was not the firms only case. Although, each case deserves undivided attention, keeping in mind other case circumstances allows a better understanding of possible delays here and there. It happens at any firm. Just know that Holstrom, Block & Parke and its staff members will be there for you every step of the way with compassion and excellent end result service read more

Seems like I should have a read a few of these reviews before engaging the firm. I can't speak to all their attorneys-they might be wonderful, but my experience with Mr. Holstrom has been horrendous. For most of us contacting an attorney means something isn't going well in your life. If that's the case, do yourself a favor and find someone who cares about you and your case, not just your wallet. Response times are awful, if you even hear back, but they are quick to send you bills. read more

I contacted them for a fairly simple divorce in 11/2016. My ex and I had most everything decided on, but he was lagging in filing the proper paperwork, so I retained a lawyer. The process should have taken a few months, in my opinion, since we had almost everything figured out already, but I often had to wait weeks for a call back or a status on a form that I'd submitted. The divorce was just completed in 2/18. I could have saved the thousands and just let my ex beat around the bush for that time frame. read more

I was blown away by the professionalism, trustworthiness and knowledge my attorney, Jeremy Roark, displayed throughout representing me during my divorce. His passion for the law and his desire to advocate for his clients is exactly what I was looking for and needed while going through my divorce with my ex. My ex tried to lie about our finances, our business, and some assets we had together and Jeremy was able to catch each discrepancy AND prove numerous things wrong on numerous occasions. Jeremy also has a way of communicating and breaking down what is going on in your case in ways that are easy to understand while sharing with your his plan of action so you're well informed throughout the process as well. If you need a "numbers" guy (someone to break down assets, finances, custody, business)- Jeremy is your guy!  If you need any type of assistance with your custody battle- Trust me when I say, Jeremy is your guy! If you need someone who knows the law inside and out or will get you the answers to all of your questions- Jeremy Roark is your guy!  My ex husband tried to take everything away from me (finances, time with my kids, business) and I truly think that if I had chosen any other attorney, he could've gotten away with a lot of the snake moves! I will be forever grateful Mr. Roark represented me. read more

I couldn't have dealt with my situation without Kristen Holstrom support, guidance and honesty. She was a rock for me is such a hard time in my life. After learning of my husbands infidelity, my emotions were running high and I decided it was best for me to immediately consult with divorce lawyers to find out what my options were. After consulting with several different lawyers, I eventually found Holstom, Block and Parke . After a brief phone conversation with Kristen I will believed that Kristen and Holstrom, Block and Parke was a great fit for my needs. I immediately scheduled a consultation with Mrs. Holstrom following our call. During my initial consultation with Kristen, she gave me a sense of confidence and comfort and she patiently explained the divorce process and what my options were. She gave me the information I needed to hear and not necessarily what I wanted to hear. Mrs. Holstrom didn't pressure me to hire her and actually suggested that I take some time to really think about whether I can work things out with my husband. After taking a a couple weeks to weigh out my options, I decided to call Kristen to let her know I was ready to proceed with the divorce. I appreciated the fact that she remember our conversation from a couple weeks back and all of the details of my case. Kristen remained supportive and attentive throughout my case and got my divorce finalized relatively quickly, including sole physical custody of my daughter. I can't recommend Mrs. Kristen Holstrom enough! There were also other attorneys who assisted with my case. They were sharp, experienced and handled my hearings with ease. Between the attorneys and their support staff I was well taken care of. This process was not always easy but Kristen and the team at HB&P was always there when I needed them and delivered results. My daughter and I are forever grateful. I have since referred family and friends to Kristen and HB&P and everyone has been extremely pleased with the support and results from the law firm. I cannot recommend Mrs. Kristen Holstrom and HB&P enough! read more

Finding a lawyer can be a daunting task, especially in circumstances where you have an uphill custody battle to fight! In my case I was blind sided by my ex when I was served with papers for him to move away with our daughters to Virginia. Obviously, this is not a thing to take lightly so naturally we wanted the BEST attorney in town! In my opinion that is what we found, everyone seemed to have the sense of urgency and priority for our case. I felt like I had a team of kind, professional and knowledgable people on my side. I have to say thank you to everyone we met there, Dayn,Valerie,Tammy, Tiffany and most importantly my attorney Mariana Hevia-Cockrell. read more
