Fairness not Included

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 adventure) 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. Chandra and team do not see fit to fight on my behalf! 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)! 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!!

Outstanding Family Law Firm

I am very glad that I retained the services of Holstrum, Block and Parke in Corona when I decided to go forward with a divorce. This was a 28 year marriage, with a good deal of wealth and property in the mix, along with a delusional spouse and plenty of other distractions. When I met Ms. Moss for t...he first time, she was professional, direct, honest and compassionate. Over the two years that it took to resolve the case, her team was well organized, gave me plenty of time and detailed instructions on the documentation that I needed to provide, and plenty of help on how to do it. The pre-trial preparation meeting was very well exercised, and would have been very helpful had we actually gone to trial. Ms. Moss and her team were always 100% behind me in every step of this endeavor, and I am eternally grateful to her and her firm for their outstanding and dedicated service. I highly recommend them for any family law matter. Her in-depth and innate knowledge of some very fine points of the law were instrumental in my getting a settlement with my wife that we both could ultimately live with.

The best Family Lawyer you could ever find

I couldn't have asked for a better, more professional and aggressive lawyer than Chandra Moss. Chandra is very trustworthy, responsible, dedicated, loving and will fight to the end for you. My case with my daughters Mom has been so difficult and stressful but once I hired Chandra as my lawyer everyth...ing suddenly took a change for the better. She will tell you like it is and will always give you great advice. I want to thank Chandra and the team for helping me accomplish my goal of getting more time with my daughter and allowing the court to see that I deserve to have fair rights and responsibilities as the mother has. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHANDRA TO THOSE WHO HAVE ANY FAMILY LEGAL PROBLEMS WHETHER IT BE CUSTODY, CHILD VISITATION, CHILD SUPPORT etc., CHANDRA MOSS IS THE WAY TO GO. Thanks again Chandra.

Chandra Lynn Moss, Family Law Specialist

Finding a good family law attorney is like finding a needle in a haystack. They are as rare as diamonds. Chandra Moss is that diamond. Chandra Moss is a very gifted attorney with expansive knowledge of the law, building your case with meticulous, technical skill. Chandra is genuinely kind and ...provides comfort and compassion to those she represents. Despite her calmness, Chandra is a power house in the courtroom and judges are amazed with her ability to quote and intrepret legal codes and precedent cases backwards and forwards. Chandra represented my husband and me in two very difficult family law cases, both resulting in positive, successful outcomes. The entire support staff at Dishon & Block contributed to these big wins as they work closely as a team to ensure every detail is perfectly in place. We will never forget Chandra Moss as she has made such a life-changing contribution and difference in our family, particularly in the life and future of our child. Thank you, a million times, THANK YOU!!!
