Not recommend

High turn over Slightly arrogant Slow to respond to calls and emails Emergency fire drills are a result of the firms own lackadaisical daily routines. I’d not recommend to a friend.

Complex Case- Remarkable Result

Hiring Brian to help with my very complicated divorce was the best decision I made. My now ex-husband had dual citizenship and was actually suddenly incarcerated in Jordan in 2016 while going there on a business trip for unethical business dealings leaving my kids and I with little money in the bank,... the mortgage and car payments behind. Lawsuits began arising in CA as well, as I uncovered the lies and hidden life of my ex. Brian was relentless in finding a way to serve him papers while he was in jail which allowed my children and I to move on with our lives and me to clear my name from his actions. I was able to be granted a divorce in 2017, a mere 13 months from when I first consulted him. If you’re looking for a tenacious attorney who will think outside the box and fight relentlessly for his clients, Brian is your man!

The Best and Most Important Decision I Made!

Hiring Brian was easily the best and most important decision I made during my divorce. Brian and his team are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, reasonable, strategic and, most significantly, ethical in all aspects of their service. The firm is completely networked into the OC family law environment.... Brian expertly guided me through an intense 18-month divorce and ultimately secured the absolute best judgement possible for me and my children. I can't thank him enough! If you are considering hiring Brian and the Seastrom Seastrom & Tuttle firm - stop thinking about it and do it now!

I can't say enough good things about Brian

Brian and his staff were all fantastic during this odyssey called divorce. I was quite impressed with his professional yet friendly way of dealing not only with me but my wife and her attorney as well. He is genuinely concerned with achieving the best outcome in these admittedly trying circumst...ances without increasing costs unnecessarily. Brian truly is a credit to his profession. He knows his stuff. His advice and counsel I found to be spot on even though I did not always immediately agree or follow that good advice. He has your back and will do his utmost to see that you are treated fairly during this entire process. I don't wish a divorce on anyone but if one's in your future, you want Brian on your side.

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 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."
