I am beyond grateful for the exceptional representation I received from Brittany Van Veen and her team at Holstrom, Block & Parke/Custody Queens. I literally placed the future of mine and my daughter’s lives in her hands, and she fought tirelessly to win our move-away case. Brittany is incredibly intelligent and knows this area of law through and through. Her strategic approach and comprehensive knowledge were evident in her preparation, detailed court documents and courtroom presence. She reviewed every detail of my case, crafted the strongest possible arguments, and consistently kept me informed throughout every step of the legal process. Brittany will not sugar coat anything; she tells it like it is, and that's exactly who you need when you're fighting for the best interest of your child within a complex legal system. Her honesty and straightforwardness were refreshing and crucial in preparing me for every possible outcome. I am naturally an emotional and anxious person, and Brittany was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. Her reassuring demeanor gave me the confidence I needed to stay positive and remind myself that she's got us no matter what. She is truly a remarkable attorney who goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Brittany, for your outstanding work and for helping me achieve exactly what I wanted for my baby girl and I. We are forever grateful for you, this win has truly made the future I've dreamed of for us a reality!
