About Carlos
Biography
Carlos A. Ramirez is a California-licensed family law attorney based in Holstrom, Block & Parke’s San Francisco office, serving clients throughout the Bay Area. He brings a friendly, approachable demeanor and a genuine commitment to professionalism in every matter he handles. Carlos is a skilled problem solver who takes the time to understand each client’s unique situation and works diligently to achieve practical, effective resolutions. He is also fluent in Spanish, allowing him to serve the Bay Area’s diverse community with the same high level of care and communication.
Carlos handles all aspects of family law, including dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child custody and parenting matters, child and spousal support, and the division and characterization of property and income. He also assists clients with premarital and postmarital agreements and is experienced in taking matters to trial when necessary. Carlos has particular depth representing Bay Area entrepreneurs and professionals in fields such as law, technology, banking and finance, and real estate — including complex disputes involving stock options, RSUs, carried interest, and deferred compensation. He collaborates regularly with forensic accountants, valuation professionals, mediators, and custody evaluators to efficiently resolve even the most intricate cases.
Carlos earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of Minnesota Law School in 2011 and holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During law school, he served as a Child Support Enforcement Certified Student Attorney with the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he represented the people of Ramsey County in more than 150 child support hearings. He is admitted to the State Bar of California and is a member of the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Family Law Section and ProVisors.
Carlos is deeply committed to giving back to the legal community and the public he serves. He volunteers as a Settlement Officer in San Francisco Superior Court, helping parties resolve dissolution and other contested matters. He was recognized with the 2013 Outstanding Volunteer Award by the Justice and Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco. Carlos has also contributed to the legal profession as a published author, co-authoring an article on the intersection of family law and probate issues in the Santa Barbara Lawyer (May 2024).
