For over two years, I was fortunate to have Attorney, Brittney Starling representing me. Based on her exceptional performance, I would highly recommend her. In court and meetings, Ms Starling demonstrated she is an expert in family law, with a high understanding of how the Department of Child Support Services operates. As a result, Ms Starling consistently outperformed opposing counsel. Ms Starling was able to translate for me, the complex legal statutes, into plain-language explanations, and advise on realistic options. This helped to ease my concerns and bring clarity. Ms Starling was always responsive to my email inquiries and available to meet when needed before or after court. An active listener, Ms Starling, spent time, not only listening but understanding my concerns. Ms Starling ensured my concerns were addressed and ensured the small but important details were not overlooked. While her expertise earned my confidence, her professional care in listening, understanding and acting, earned my trust. I’m fully happy with the results Ms Starling was able to provide and I would confidently recommend her to anyone in need. My compliments to Holstrom, Block + Parke in adding her to their team.Posted on Google

Vee BOctober 9, 2026I just would like to take this time to leave a review for my attorney Cynthia Weichelt. I was sued for sole custody, child support, and an amendment of my daughter's birth certificate by her father. This has been one of the most difficult things that I have been through, but I do not think for one second that my win in court to prevent my child's father from successfully, taking away my parental rights or taking away my rights to have my daughter be with me on my days off, would have been successful without this attorney. Her legal team was very thorough. They definitely fought very hard for me and constantly kept open communication with me. They were very patient with me when it came to me not understanding or having difficulty with court paperwork. I was always able to get in touch with someone as far as asking questions and I never felt in the dark about anything that was going on nor did I feel like I was wasting money. if ever something were to come across again in regards to my child with her father, I will not hesitate to attain Miss Cynthia and her legal team. I suggest that if anyone is being sued for any reason that this legal team can provide, I will always refer to Miss Cynthia as someone that you know you can trust and will not waste an ounce of time fighting for your rights. This was a very emotionally and mentally difficult year for me, but her legal team has made me very proud of my decision to attain them and I have absolutely no regrets.Posted on Google
Lonica FAugust 25, 2026I am in the process of an ongoing and complicated divorce. Attorney Jeremy Roark and several member of the staff have made this horrible season better by providing knowledgeable support, advise and care for the outcome. They have been sensitive to my financial situation and advised caution when something was not cost effective for me. A special shout out to Brandy Maness who exemplifies direct, clear and quick communication.Posted on Google
Tech NJune 16, 2026I worked with Attorney Jennifer Ani in a complex child abuse case, and she helped me achieve sole physical custody. What a relief! She knows the "system" inside and out really cares about protecting kids. She is warm and kind, and gives her profession a good name. I'm grateful to have her in my corner for future legal needs in Family Court.Posted on Google
Former CApril 12, 2026STRATEGIC, RESPONSIVE & SAVVY I worked with Attorney Jennifer Ani during an incredibly challenging time dealing with the Juvenile Court. I randomly found her through a Google search, and boy, do I feel lucky about that! I’m so grateful I had her in my corner for this harrowing court process. She is strategic, responsive, and truly understands how to navigate complex cases. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Because of her work, I was able to reunify with my child far sooner than I expected. She has a vast amount of experience and knows her subject matter inside and out, whether it's in Juvenile, Family or Divorce Courting. I trust her completely with the most sensitive matters on the planet. Any parent would be lucky to have her representation. Similarly, her firm, Holstrom, Block & Parke is lucky to have her their ranks.Posted on Google
Mia JApril 12, 2026I had an excellent experience working with Miss Jennifer Ani at Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC. From the very beginning, she demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for my situation. She consistently went above and beyond, making sure I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how attentive and responsive both she and her firm were. They were always following up, keeping everything on track, and making sure no detail was overlooked. I also truly appreciated the fairness and transparency when it came to billing—there were never any surprises, and everything felt very reasonable. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I achieved a result I was very happy with. I would highly recommend Miss Ani and her team to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy family law attorney.Posted on Google

A SJuly 21, 2025Having to need family legal representation when I least expected it- 14 years after my divorce and with 1 late-teen minor child left in the house- I am so grateful I reached out to Carrie and her team (Courtney!). My brother had also recently used Carrie with much success (how I found her) and while she isn't the cheapest, you certainly get what you pay for. They are kind, respectful and compassionate, and always kept me promptly informed. I was able to avoid court, successfully settle in mediation with all I was asking for, and move on with our lives while keeping my son safe from his other parent. Thank you Carrie!Posted on Google
Sarah WJuly 9, 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grateful for Carrie Block – A Steady, Strategic, and Compassionate Advocate I’m incredibly grateful to have had Carrie Block as my attorney during my divorce. From our very first meeting, I knew I was in good hands. Carrie is the perfect combination of calm, knowledgeable, and fiercely strategic. She listened closely, gave honest guidance, and helped me feel empowered through every step of the process. Carrie worked diligently to ensure that I received a fair and balanced outcome, even in the face of difficult and unproductive behavior from the other side. She was always composed, clear, and focused on what truly mattered—protecting my rights and helping me move forward with stability and peace of mind. She never made me feel like just another case. Carrie brought humanity and heart to every conversation, and her ability to break down legal complexities into understandable steps was a tremendous comfort. I truly felt like I had a strong, compassionate ally by my side. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you with both intelligence and integrity, Carrie Block is the one you want in your corner. I can’t thank her enough.Posted on Google
Natalie ZJune 30, 2025So happy with representation..attorney Jeremy Roark has been by my side to navigate my divorce and custody. And Paralegal Wendy Fox is always there to answer any questions I have all day. Thank you for everythingPosted on Google
Robert LJune 30, 2025Words are not sufficient praise for Carrie Block. In the dramatic and often absurd world of family law, Carrie is a steady hand and seasoned pro. Despite numerous, often crazy actions by the opposing attorneys, Carrie brought her years of experience and unshakeable demeanor to the table every time. In the end, this approach led to the exact outcome that was best for me and my family. I cannot say enough good things about her. Do yourself a favor and hire her to handle your divorce. You will not regret it.Posted on Google
EmilyJune 28, 2025What can I say about Jim Parke, except he is Stellar! He is representing me in a long, ongoing, painful case. Jim and his associates have been ever diligent in the handling of this case. I am apprised of every detail we need to cover and assisted with all questions and concerns I have. I will have Jim and his associates represent me in any future litigation. Regards, Emily J. GelskeyPosted on Google
Dr. GJune 27, 2025My attorney, Samantha McBride, was amazing! Her Paralegal, Wendy Fox, was also amazing! I felt cared for and like they truly wanted to help me with my case. We all thought I would have to pay my ex-husband who stole my money, filed for divorce, and walked out on me and the kids. It was a miracle when the judge ruled in my favor on every single point my ex and his attorney were fighting to get from me. I truly recommend this law firm to anyone who wants attorneys who will fight for you! I was also impressed with the intelligence and quality of expertise Ms. Samantha McBride had with handling my case. I feel like I chose the right people to help me.Posted on Google
MgcJune 26, 2025I have known Attorney Goldschmidt for many years now and would strongly recommend her to anyone I know in need of representation. Her passion and attention to detail are truly unmatched. Not only does she bring a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous ability to make that knowledge digestible, but she brings a compassionate touch to the people she interacts with. Attorney Goldschmidt truly cares and will provide outstanding representation to you.Posted on Google
Joshawa EJune 25, 2025Although I’m in a high-conflict situation, my attorney, Taylor Goldschmidt, has done a solid job guiding me through the process so far, and everything is moving in a positive direction.Posted on Google
Janet TJune 25, 2025I recently consulted with Wendy L. Christensen Fountain, CFLS, regarding a child custody matter. From the first phone call, she was professional, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable. Ms. Fountain took the time to thoroughly answer my questions, explain my options, and help me understand the legal process. I never felt rushed and I truly appreciated how thoughtful and supportive she and her team were. While I ultimately decided not to proceed with legal action at this time—choosing instead to continue trying to work things out directly with the other party—I feel very confident knowing I have Ms. Fountain in my corner if I ever need to move forward in the future. The time invested was incredibly valuable. If I do decide to proceed down the legal path, I will absolutely hire Ms. Fountain again without hesitation. I highly recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC, to anyone looking for guidance and clarity in a child custody situation.Posted on Google
Dani SJune 25, 2025Attorney Goldschmidt was one of the first attorneys I worked with when I started as a legal assistant, I could not be more grateful to have had such a wonderful and kind boss to show me the ropes and answer all of my silly questions like “how do you spell subpoena?” She would always take the time to notice when I was feeling overwhelmed with projects and offer to help me out where she could. She made me feel so comfortable to ask questions and keep learning as I was on the start of my legal journey; I have no doubt that her clients must feel comfortable and at ease that Attorney Goldschmidt is the one representing them.Posted on Google
Bruce CJune 22, 2025I was very impressed with the skill, timeliness and thoughtful manner in which Jim Parke handled my divorce. He kept me fully informed of everything that needed to be addressed and gave me fantastic advice that made for a great result. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He fully explained all my options throughout the process. First rate attorney and decent individual. I am truly indebted to him for all his work on my case.Posted on Google
Nathan KJune 20, 2025I had the pleasure of working with Taylor Goldschmidt for a few years. She's an exceptional attorney. Reliable, diligent, caring, you name it.

I recommend her wholeheartedly.Posted on Google

I'll always recommend her to anyone in need of family law assistance!Posted on Google
Patrick MJune 16, 2025Bethanie Fanti has worked on my divorce and custody issues for almost 15 years. During this time, I have come to know her as an excellent attorney and person. She is amazing at remembering the small details which in law cases like mine are extremely important. Her ability to strategize, remember details, organize and articulate items to me as well as the other parties involved, is a professional talent that is hard to come by in an attorney. I would highly recommend her skillsets to anyone thinking of or going through a divorce, particularly with custody issues.Posted on Google
Heidi EJune 15, 2025I happened upon Holstrom, Block, and Parke by chance and Attorney Goldschmidt was assigned to my case. I have been working with her for the better part of a year not and I am extremely grateful - I did realize how lucky I was when we connected and I ultimately hired her for representation. From the get go, Attorney Goldschimdt and her team (Brandy & Taylor) have been extremely professional, intelligent, transparent, honest, and fair. They let me know things that may not be feasible and provided advice and guidance that resulted in the desired outcome. She also recommended a great mediation prep, which was immensely helpful. As most family law cases are emotionally charged, mine was no different. Attorney Goldschimdt & her team have been very kind and empathetic, as well as reassuring. I really appreciate that they have been patient and understanding throughout this process, especially when I have been anxious, nervous, and/or stressed throughout. Attorney Goldschimdt and her team are very responsive, keep open communication, and have kept me up to date on everything throughout this process. They will take the time to answer and all questions/concerns and are extremely knowledgeable. I am so glad I have had the opportunity to have Attorney Goldschimdt as my representation. Should I ever need help within the realm of family law, I would absolutely retain her as counsel again.Posted on Google
Savanna HJune 15, 2025LOOK NO FURTHER! If i could give 100 stars, I would. I can't even put into words how much Attorney Goldschmidt and her team have helped our family. My wife and I were terrified when we received court filings in the mail, so I immediately started calling down lists of potential law firms to help with our case. Now, mind you, we are a lesbian couple with an extremely unconventional case.. half the firms I called refused to even take our case on, the other half wanted an astronomical deposit that we couldn't possibly afford. Then I came across Attorney Goldschmidt's information. From the very first phone call, the entire staff was so polite and showed genuine care and concern for us in the most horrible time in our lives. I explained our situation, cringing, assuming I was going to get yet another rejection, but Attorney Goldschmidt confidently took our case and expressed how excited she was for the challenge! She immediately went to work, fighting fiercely and strategically for us. Watching her work is like seeing a piece of artwork unfold right in front of you. She performs with such grace and strength, and there's a true beauty in the way she controls any room she walks into. I loved the fact that she made herself openly available, we knew that we could come to her with any question or concern, no matter how outlandish, and she would always give us her most honest, educated answer, no matter whether it was in our favor or not. She also took the time to get to know all of us individually on a personal level, which helped her with the case, but it also helped us feel more calm and confident in her work. There were many ups and downs in our case, and honestly no one really had any idea how it would go, one way or the other, due to our case being unlike any other, but she continued to research everything she could that would come close to applying to our case, and in the end, she won our case for us, a full victory! We walked into the courtroom not knowing what to expect, and came out with full custody of our beautiful baby girl, and we couldn't have done it without Taylor and her team. Any parents that are looking for an attorney that see's you and your child as people, instead of a walking paycheck,and someone who will fight tooth and nail right alongside you till the bitter end, look no further, you can't find an attorney more perfect than Taylor. Taylor, if you are reading this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping our family strong, and being our backbone throughout this entire process. More than that, thank you for being a friend in my times of need as well, you went well beyond the scope of your job requirements. You were the steady arrow when my hands were shaky. We owe you a debt that cannot even begin to be paid. You are always going to be welcome at our table.Posted on Google

David HJune 13, 2025I have unfortunately been involved in a high conflict divorce. Throughout it all James Parke has given me all that I could ask from an attorney. He is knowledgeable, level headed and responsive ams very personable. There have been so many frustration with the courts, and Jim has navigated those time, and helped my understand the complicated processes of the legal pathway. Gloria, his paralegal who has assisted me for the past several years, has been incredible. She has given so much support to me and my case. My thanks to Jim, Gloria and the Holstrom, Block & Parke team for getting me through this unfortunate circumstance.Posted on Google
Wendy EJune 13, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 11 years later and forever grateful! This Father’s Day marks 11 years since attorney Brittany VanVeen helped me win full custody of my son—and I will never forget what she did for us. It was an incredibly difficult time: emotionally exhausting, scary, and filled with power struggles. My son’s father, an OC Sheriff, used his position to try to control the situation, but Brittany never backed down. She stood firmly by my side with compassion, intelligence, and unwavering strength. She listened. She cared. And most importantly, she fought—for me, and especially for my son. Thanks to her, my son was granted what he truly desired: safety and peace through no contact. Brittany was not only my legal advocate, she was a pivotal force in changing the course of our lives. I’ll always remember her courage, her grace under pressure, and her dedication to justice. If you’re looking for someone who will fight for you with both heart and strength—Brittany VanVeen is that person.Posted on Google

Kelly SJune 12, 2025I interviewed several attorneys over weeks and it wasn't until I spoke with Jim Parke that I knew he was the right choice for me. I immediately sensed his compassion and concern for me in my difficult circumstances. He made it clear to me that he wouldn't just represent me legally but "hold my hand" in the process. He has made it a priority to inform me of the legal process and what to expect while also making sure I am comfortable. He is efficient and always makes himself available when I have questions or concerns. I feel very blessed to have him represent me and have the utmost trust that he is taking care of me and my interests.Posted on Google

Michael CJune 6, 2025I’ve referred several people to Estela De Orduna for family law matters, and every single one of them has come back to thank me—profusely. What stands out most about Estela is her incredible attention to detail. My friends consistently mention how thorough and precise she is—she doesn’t miss a thing, and she makes sure every angle is covered. That level of care makes a huge difference in sensitive family cases. They’ve also told me how personable and approachable she is, which really matters when someone is dealing with emotional, high-stress situations. Estela takes the time to listen, explain, and guide her clients with empathy and professionalism. She truly puts people at ease. And when it comes time to show up in court—she’s a bulldog. Strong, confident, and relentless in advocating for her clients. I’ve heard more than once that having her in the courtroom felt like having a powerful ally who never backs down and always fights smart. If you or someone you care about needs a family law attorney who is smart, compassionate, and a true fighter, I highly recommend reaching out to Estela De Orduna. She has more than earned my trust—and the trust of those I’ve sent her way.Posted on Google
Joaquin GJune 6, 2025Five-Star Review of Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC – My Lifeline Through a Difficult Divorce Going through a divorce was one of the most emotionally and mentally exhausting periods of my life, especially with the complex custody and financial issues involved. I knew I needed a legal team that not only understood the law but could also offer real strategy, compassion, and clarity during the chaos. That’s exactly what I found with Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC. From my first consultation, I felt a genuine sense of confidence in their team. They didn’t sugarcoat anything—something I deeply appreciated. They were clear about what the law allows, what options were available to me, and what outcomes were realistic given my situation. I never felt like just another case file; I felt seen, heard, and truly supported. My divorce involved complicated financial matters, including the division of a small business and disputed assets, as well as a sensitive custody battle. The attorneys at HBP were meticulous and strategic. They knew how to protect what I had worked so hard for while also fighting for a custody arrangement that prioritized my children’s well-being. What impressed me most was their ability to keep negotiations grounded, even when tensions escalated. And when we needed to take things to court, they were prepared, professional, and incredibly persuasive. Their depth of experience showed in everything they did—from drafting documents to courtroom strategy. At one point, false accusations were made against me that could have impacted my parental rights. My attorney handled the situation with calm determination and presented the facts so clearly that the judge saw through the accusations and ruled decisively in my favor. Thanks to Holstrom, Block & Parke, I was able to walk away from a very difficult chapter of my life with my dignity intact, my financial interests protected, and a custody agreement that allows me to maintain a strong, loving relationship with my children. If you’re facing a divorce or custody battle and want a legal team that is smart, tenacious, and truly committed to your best interests, I cannot recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke enough. They don’t just help you survive the process—they help you find a way forward.Posted on Google

Michael MJune 4, 2025I guess I’ll start with the fear and anxiety of finding yourself needing to go to family court. That fear is real and sets in before you might even know who to call. Those minutes, hours, even days could’ve been saved. I can’t describe the level of professionalism, smart advice, and above even those.. The level of attention! When someone hires a lawyer, you might just assume it’ll be ok, you’ve got help. But what about all the questions and fears that arise during the process? New information? Etc… The feeling of gratitude and appreciation for how things turned out for me with Estela helping me are strong feelings I feel the rewards of every day. My son’s Mom and I are great. Not just good, but great. It’s been peace. When there was none. Her wisdom on how to approach everything, was spot on. Even when I was not 100% sure. With all my heart I vouch for her. Even above the results of everything, which were amazing for me. I want to highlight the level of attention I received from her durning my time of crisis. Even before everything worked out. Her attention and responses to me, made me feel like a million dollar client and I wasn’t. Just a scared Dad needing help. Once again, I vouch for Estela and her people. You will not be disappointed.Posted on Google

Their dedication made a difficult process so much more manageable, and I always felt like I had a strong team standing behind me. If you’re looking for a family law firm that provides top-tier legal expertise with a compassionate, client-focused approach, I cannot recommend Kristen Holstrom and her team at Holstrom, Block & Parke enough. Their knowledge, support, and advocacy are truly unmatched. I am forever grateful for their outstanding service!Posted on Google
Bill FMarch 6, 2025This Firm is very professional , They understood my issue and were able to get my Alimony reduced after a long term California marriagePosted on Google
Jimmy MFebruary 18, 2025Kristen and Magen were absolutely amazing. They truly took the time to listen to my case and understood the unique challenges I faced as a single father. In a system where fathers often don’t receive the same attention or support, especially when it comes to custody, they saw beyond my gender and focused on my case with genuine care. They recognized the importance of advocating for my child’s well-being, and they went into court prepared to fight for me. Having a child with autism and dealing with the difficulties of missed visits, domestic violence at the other parent’s home, and the regression in my son’s behavior when he returned home was emotionally overwhelming. I needed professionals who could hear my concerns, understand my situation, and organize my evidence effectively for the judge. Kristen and Magen did just that. They put together a powerful narrative for both my son and me. Thank you both for giving me the confidence that as a father, I have rights too. May God continue to bless you as you represent parents who always prioritize the best interests of the child. You both rock! Thank you for everything.+0Posted on Google
K FJanuary 30, 2025I still remember the day I called the main line, 37 weeks pregnant, in complete disarray being threatened, when Alisha picked up the phone. I knew from that moment this was a firm I wanted and needed. I was referred by a friend to request for Samantha McBride specifically, and that her reputation in San Bernardino County is unmatched. That call was almost 2 years ago. Today I have peace because of this firm. Thank you to the entire team, and most importantly, Sam. Thankful you’re a phone call away if I ever need you again.Posted on Google

Elayne GOctober 28, 2024Taylor Goldschmidt, Esq. is a tough, competent, honest attorney with a heart. I searched for attorneys in San Diego County and sadly those attributes weren't easy to find. During my stressful, conflictual situation, Taylor was a true advocate. Whether she was delivering the punch in court, or in tough legal documents, she excelled. Taylor's creative solutions left the opposing side in retreat. Whenever the situation escalated, Taylor was always right there. Taylor Goldschmidt is more than an attorney when you need representation.Posted on Google
Tayla TSeptember 19, 2024Attorney Taylor Goldschmidt and her team Brandy and Kelley are absolutely amazing! They are knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate.

I am very happy with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Holstrom, Block & Parke.Posted on Google
Jessica LSeptember 2, 2024Natalie Hollis was my 3rd family law attorney when she inherited my very sensitive and complicated family law case that had been ongoing for 2 years. She required little time to catch up and even less time to identify a path forward that set my mind at ease. With empathy for our journey up to that point, she made her first appearance and demonstrated that she would be a strong advocate for our minor child. Natalie has always been incredibly professional, as well as friendly and compassionate in every interaction. She consistently checked in and offered her experienced advice. After 1 and a half years of guiding our case, Natalie was able to get our family to a point of self-management, and our case moved out of the courts. I am deeply grateful for Natalie's support and leadership during one of the most difficult periods of our lives. Her impact cannot be measured.Posted on Google

Torry HJuly 15, 2024Attorney Aja Mann, was my lawyer for 13 years. In those 13 years of representing me, she was outstanding! Not only did she advise me with wisdom and grace, she taught me that you must be fair and compassionate when it comes to difficult situations while co-parenting. Because of her I was able to obtain full custody of my son, and I thank her every day for in some form or fashion for bringing me joy and peace.Posted on Google
Emerson DJuly 14, 2024After visiting my son who lives out of state, I was deeply concerned by his emotional struggles and the difficulties he was facing at home with his mom. As a divorced parent living in another state, I felt powerless to advocate for him and feared I was failing as a father. My visitation rights and other arrangements had always been unfair, dictated by the terms of the other party. From our first conversation, Aja reassured me that I had parental rights and a voice in my son's well-being. Her exceptional negotiation skills and unwavering advocacy led to more equitable arrangements for our family, prioritizing my son's health and happiness. We are incredibly grateful for her efforts and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sharp, dedicated attorney who will fight for you.Posted on Google

Ryan FJuly 10, 2024My experience with Aja was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and prepped well. She knew right off the jump what made good evidence or not in my situation. Honestly, I wasn’t happy that she didn’t want to use some things I wanted to use as evidence. However, she turned out to be right in not using them. There were also moments where I I knew the other party was lying and I really wanted her to say something. But Aja knew what she doing and made things play out. In the end, it all paid off. Being in the court room so much and seeing other cases, I was grateful that I had her to represent me. I was also going through a lot of health issues and she was very patient and understanding with me and my situation. I would definitely recommend her for anyone’s case. Honestly, I hope to use her in the next month.Posted on Google

Up to this day I still reach out to Aja and she still responds with questions I have every once in a while. Highly recommend her.Posted on Google

Sabrina CMay 30, 2024I 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.

Jane CApril 29, 2024Please if your looking for someone in Family Law, don't walk, RUN to Holstrom, Block and & Park. Taylor Goldschmidt was my personal attorney and Brandy Maness my paralegal. They did such an AMAZING job!! Taylor and Brandy made it so easy that you just have to give them the information that they need, then they do the rest!! They respond in a timely manner and unbelievably quick of the turnaround times of what document is requested/needed. I'm so blessed I found Taylor. She is very reliable and efficient. I totally recommend you hire Taylor Goldschmidt and her team. You won't regret it. She will be the only attorney that always comes up in my head when anyone asks if I know any attorney!! Thank you Taylor and Brandy for all you did for me and my daughter!!!Posted on Google
Britney BApril 14, 2024Carrie and her team, my third law firm, provided a stark contrast to my past experiences. They demonstrated impeccable organization, timely communication, comprehensive knowledge of my case, and effective trial preparation. Carrie's negotiation skills were formidable, and her honesty throughout the process was appreciated. Invoices were clear and fair. Though I settled before an evidentiary hearing, I had full faith in Carrie's representation abilities if we were to go to trial. She was well-versed in the facts and adept at presenting arguments. Personal interactions with Carrie further solidified my confidence in her integrity. While the firm's fees are high, I believe the quality of service justifies the cost. For those considering litigation, I would advise budgeting at least $25,000 for a relatively simple Request for Order with one in-person hearing. Overall, I am pleased with my choice and grateful for the services provided by Carrie, Sherry, and Citali. Thank you.Posted on Google
Jeff PApril 11, 2024I want to point out that I never provide reviews on any company that I have dealings with.However this is an exception. As a business owner I have up to 9 different attorneys that I deal with at any point in time. I never thought in a million years that I would need a divorce attorney. I just happened across Holstrom, Block & Parke APLC on the internet. From my very 1st call, I was intrigued with the professionalism I recieved. More specifically with the Case Coordinator Mr. James Chase. Mr. Chase always made it a point to respond to my calls immediately and answer my emails within 24 hours and to me this was a definite plus. If I didn't understand something about the documents I was provided, Mr. Chase would explain in great detail what I was looking at. So I hope the Partners of Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC see what a valuable asset Mr. Chase is. I'm sure other employees in the firm show the same respect and attentiveness and I would recommend this firm to others. Thank you so much everyone at Holstrom, Block & Parke APLCPosted on Google
Frank PApril 9, 2024I have been a client with Holstrom, Block, and Parke, APLC since 2018. This firm is exceptional in all that they do for families, especially advocating for parent's/father's rights. Their offices are always welcoming with courteous staff that make sure you are attended to and comfortable prior and during meetings. This firm has amazing attorneys that specialize in all aspects of family law. Samantha McBride, who has been on my case from beginning, is a caring and tenacious champion for parents that is also an extremely knowledgable and fierce litigant. I am so thankful for her and the paralegal staff (special shoutout to Margo Emil) who have been great at responding to all my questions, preparing my documents and me for court, and ensuring that my parenting rights and interests are protected.

Even now words can’t describe how grateful I am.Posted on Google
Lisa TMarch 13, 2024Hired Sam last minute, literally 48hrs before court, and with how prepared she was, you’d think she knew my case for months. Her coordinator, James, was phenomenal in gathering the information and putting the packets together for her. She kept it 100% with me the entire time, things she thought the courts would agree to and told me when to back off of other items. I hate to say we “won” our case because in child custody matters, it shouldn’t be able winning or losing, but she got exactly what was best for my child. And that is all I was concerned about. She was concise, articulate, to the point, with poise and a firm no nonsense tone in her voice she breezed through the hearing. I couldn’t be more happy with her and her team. They came together in a rush and we can a successful outcome. In a moment of panic, she had me take a moment, talked over things, and prepped me to face the opposing party. I haven’t felt that confident around him in years.Posted on Google

Brooke ROctober 30, 2023I worked with Samantha for a custody revision case and I think my favorite thing I can take away from her is she was always very upfront and honest about how it all would work and what the real possibilities were she never lead me to believe something just to pursue more in my case. She always had my girls best interest at heart through every step of the process and I always felt at ease! Her team is just as incredible as her! James is her right hand and he is absolutely phenomenal communicating and on top of everything you ask of him! I am so beyond happy I was referred to Sam and her team!
