Carrie S. Block - Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Carrie S. Block. She is a superb family law attorney who is professional, responsive and trustworthy. I hired and worked with Carrie throughout my divorce seven years ago and my nine year old son is in wonderful form because of her. She is the utmost professional and thinks of a child's interests first. Years later, I have now engaged her to assist me with prenuptial planning.

Highly Recommend Carrie Block

My brother hired Carrie Block and he had the best experience that he recommended her to me. I cannot agree with my brother more. She is smart, honest, and really listens to you when you are going through a tough time. I love Carrie!

The best in family law!

I was referred to Holstrom, Block, and Parke by a family member who heard their ad on the radio and said it sounded legitimate. Or at least was fitting for my family law needs. I was skeptical in the beginning but felt like a phone call was in order. From initial contact with the firm I felt assured my case would be handled correctly. I was directed to Carrie Block and I am so glad I was. The family court system can be mean, unfair, and extremely challenging at times but having the correct representation in your corner can make all the difference. Carrie is a rockstar and her experience shines through when she works. We have been working together for about 8mths now but the communication from the team (Courtney/Carrie) keeps my mind at ease that I have the best in my corner helping me fight. If you need a pistol on your side call and ask for Carrie!

So so happy!

Carrie Block has been an amazing attorney. As a member of the LGBTQA+ community, it was vital for me to locate a Certified Family Law Specialist that simply understood. Although it is more common today, I had a unique custody and visitation matter that Carrie was equipped to handle. She presented the facts of my case in court with grace and we obtained a ruling that was in my favor. I highly recommend Carrie Block to assist with any of your family law matters. She is sharp, aggressive, and compassionate. Thank you for your help, Carrie

Couldn't Be Better

I was referred to Carrie when my previous lawyer suddenly double her hourly rate at a time when my son had suicidal thoughts, but his dad sided with the school to deny his needs. My ex used his joint custody to refuse assessing my son. I was fighting a losing battle with my school district, and dealing with my son's problems all alone. Carrie took my case without any hesitation. She quickly got the core of the problems, and advised me each step of the way, and helped me to present the facts and truth to the Judge, and win my son's sole custody, which my previous lawyer believed to be impossible. Now with the sole custody, my son's needs were appropriately assessed and is getting appropriate special education services with his special education attorney. It is the best decision I've ever made for my son. Carrie is pricey to be honest, but her quality work every penny of it. I highly recommend her.

Divorce support

Carrie has been a pleasure to work with. I'm going through a divorce and as stressful as that can be she has made me feel I have someone to represent me that cares about me. She can see past the emotions to make sure no detail is missed.
