Love Your Lawyer Day: Help Us Spread the Love!

Practicing Family Law is tough. All of us came into this profession to help people.

We work hard so that our clients can restore a sense of normalcy, and that they may progress to better and brighter place.

The first Friday of November is designated by the American Lawyers Public Image Association (ALPIA) as Love Your Lawyer Day.

It’s a day for clients to express gratitude for positive impact that legal professionals have made on their lives.

Everyone can use a little love. Attorneys are no different.

The ALPIA created #LoveYourLawyerDay as the official hashtag to post pics, videos, and comments across social mediate platforms.

If you know someone working in legal services, tell them how important they are to the community they serve.

Help Us Spread the Love!

As John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” The love that attorneys make is best encapsulated in pro bono work that they perform.

My Role In A Child Support Hearing

Holstrom, Block & Parke was founded by Dayn A. Holstrom, with a purpose of providing sophisticated, experienced representation to clients needing assistance in Family Law matters. This includes Marital Dissolution (Divorce), Child Custody matters, Property Division, Child and Spousal Support issues, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, and a host of related issues. The Law Firm has been serving the interests of clients in the Orange County community for more than 22 years.

Dayn started his career over two decades ago with some distinction, graduating summa cum laude as the Valedictorian and Editor in Chief of the Law Review, and with the highest GPA in the history of the largest law school in Orange County. He immediately established his own firm which has grown through decades of successful representation becoming one of the largest, most recognized Family Law firms in Southern California.

Dayn has served as a Judge Pro Tempore in the Family Law Courts, and has received numerous awards. Recently, he was recognized as one of the top Family Law Lawyers in the Inland Empire for his work in those courts. He and his family have been residents of Orange County for over 30 years.

The firm has a large number of experienced Attorneys and Paralegals. They aggressively represent clients throughout Orange County, as well as the Inland Empire and Los Angeles County. Holstrom, Block & Parke takes a pragmatic approach to Family Law issues, yet understands that the interests of our clients and their children are paramount. They strive for out-of-court settlements whenever practical, as this generally reduces emotional and financial stress for families in crisis.

When asked about the “typical” client, Mr. Holstrom told us, “We are often hired by clients who started their matter with another attorney, and were dissatisfied with either the results, or often the lack of communication from the lawyer. I often hear from a new client that they have gotten more information from us just in an initial intake than they received from prior counsel during their entire representation. We strive to give our clients all of the information that they need to make intelligent and informed decisions about their cases.”

The firm is very experienced in handling all types of custody matters. These include everything from mediating child sharing arrangements to litigating complex “move away” cases, and everything in between. The firm also handles emotionally charged cases involving domestic violence, and claims of abuse with great sensitivity and confidence.

As aggressive and experienced litigators, you can trust that the Firm has the skill and knowledge needed to protect your rights throughout the court process. The Firm has significant experience in high asset and high income cases. Whether you need assistance in establishing a fair support award based upon self employment income, or you require a strong advocate to achieve a fair division of assets, Holstrom, Block & Parke gets it done.

Holstrom, Block & Parke is the first firm to call on when you have a serious, or a simple, Family Law Issue in Orange County.
