Very ethical

When I think of Brian and his team the first thing that comes to mind is Very ethical!! When I decided to hire Brian he took care of everything and guiding me in the process. He was always one step ahead and did everything he could to get everything rectified as soon as possible. Divorce can be very... stressful situation, Brian and his team did everything to minimize the stress for me. Because of my positive experience. I have already recommended him to several people. Sincerely, Paul

BRIAN SEASTROM DID STELLAR WORK FOR US!

Brian Seastrom did stellar work for my wife and our family: We cannot recommend him more highly! Brian exceeded our expectations in every area. Without disclosing the details of the divorce action, with which we were involved, I can tell you that Brian came highly recommended to us by one of the fine...st and most reputable attorneys in Los Angeles. Brian's big-picture grasp of the issues, his sage counsel, his anticipatory and highly-strategic thinking, were excellent and always spot-on. He was able to secure an absolutely wonderful result for us. Not only that, but he was also caring, compassionate, and always accessible — all qualities which we admire and truly appreciate. I am an attorney myself, and was fortunate to attend an excellent college and law school, so I believe that I am well aware of the qualities that make an excellent attorney. Brian Seastrom has all of these qualities. My wife and I unqualifiedly recommend Brian, to anyone and everyone. He is truly terrific!

The Best Family Attorney in Orange County

I have the most utmost respect for Brian and his firm. Here is my story: I had the unfortunate case of going through a divorce. Prior to Brian, I hired two Family Law attorneys who were recommended to me by a Trust/Mergers & Acquisition attorney. I hired attorney #1: Slow and ineffective. Fired. A...ttorney #2: aggressive and unprofessional. I was really frustrated, especially when the bills kept generating and yielding no results. I was referred to Brian Seastrom as being one of the best in Orange County. I decided to meet with Brian and was convinced he would be effective. I fired attorney #2 and asked Brian to represent my case. It was the best decision I ever made. He is 100% professional, trustworthy, and understands every angle of a divorce case. His strength is the court room, business/finance, and helping you stay centered (during an emotional and mental exhausting time). My case was very complex; involved contracts, business acquisitions, and an emotionally distraught ex-wife who hired one of the worse opposing divorce attorneys (people) I have ever encountered [they took advantage of her]. The experience going through a challenging divorce is one I hope to never repeat. Having someone as experienced, knowledgeable and effective as Brian will make your life a whole lot better. If Brian was on my opposing side, I would literally be scared. He is truly the best.

A credit to the profession

When I needed a family law lawyer to represent me, I asked my son (a well-respected OC attorney) for a recommendation. That is how I learned of Brian Seastrom. My son told me that he heard great things about Brian from multiple family law judges. I also learned that Brian's peers elected him to b...e president of the family law section of the Orange County Bar Association. I learned long ago that the most reliable referrals come from others in the industry. After I made the decision to retain him, I quickly learned why Brian enjoys so much respect from other judges and lawyers. He is extremely bright, he didn't waste my money by engaging in needless tactics, and has a wonderful disposition that put me at ease during a stressful time. But behind his gentlemanly demeanor, Brian is one seriously tough negotiator. I think his effectiveness comes from the fact that he is so likable and respected by his adversaries. I couldn't be more grateful to Brian for his work. My case could not have turned out better. He is a man of integrity, and the type of professional we all want on our side during a crisis.

"Brian Seastrom is widely recognized by lawyers and judges as one of the elite family law practitioners in Orange County. He is both fiercely dedicated to advancing his clients' interests, and has a stellar reputation for ethics and integrity with both judges and opposing counsel. I have referred family members and my own to Brian for complex and contentious legal matters. Not only have his results been extraordinary, but those I refer always rave about what a wonderful person he is to work with during a stressful time."
