Kristen Ashleigh Holstrom

Making a choice when it comes to retaining an attorney/firm can be very intimidating at first, then I met Kristen. The fact that Kristen was so relatable, made it an easy choice for me to retain her services, along with her being exceptionally: professional, kind, understanding, easily approachable, ...extremely knowledgeable in family law and a bada** in the courtroom. I have lost count of court appearances to date but have had favorable outcomes EVERY time due to Kristen’s ability to strategize before court, and execute the plan during a hearing. Thank you Kristen for being there with me every step of the way, you are definitely a gem to not only myself and my daughter, but the legal community as a whole.

I met Kristen years ago, and when she found out what my child's father was putting me through she took my case. At first she couldn't believe what he was doing causing unnecessary stress and drama, until she saw it for herself. At that moment is when I finally felt like I can breathe. Since that fir...st moment with her on my side things have gotten so much better. My child's father is still difficult but she has put him in his place and I have gotten the best orders I can ask for.

In early 2018 I was faced with the difficult task of separating from my wife of 21 years. We had come to the conclusion amicably and had every intention of conducting a very civil divorce, keeping the well being of our 10 year old son at the forefront of our intentions. Like many couples in this scen...ario we didn’t see a need to seek legal counsel, believing that having attorneys would create a conflict where there was none. We completed filing paperwork together and filed for divorce without the benefit of any advice outside of our friends and relatives. Within a few weeks it became apparent that we hadn’t considered a fraction of the issues that we would have to resolve. Using Google as our legal counsel, we found ourselves increasingly at odds over how to settle issues and facing a growing pile of unresolved disputes that had no clear end in sight. After 6 months my ex finally stated she was getting an attorney and that I should get one as well. I was referred to Kristen Holstrom by a close friend who simply described her as “the best family attorney in the area.” After realizing the mess I had made trying to handle things on my own, I decided that I was done with half-measures and set up an appointment with Kristen to discuss my case. The first thing I noticed in our meeting was the immediate sense of purpose and concern from Kristen, Samantha and the rest of their team. They allowed me to completely explain the history of my separation and provide the total context for my decisions up to that point. She kept the focus on what outcomes I was looking for moving forward rather than forcing a pre-determined strategy on me, asking pertinent questions that got to the heart of what I wanted to protect and why. She provided sound advice on how to achieve the specific goals I presented while keeping the greater objective of caring for my son at the forefront of our decisions. Kristen’s team showed a wealth of experience in dealing with complicated scenarios and a mastery at communicating under difficult conditions. Over the course of the divorce proceedings I was kept continually appraised of updates and given undivided attention to discuss pertinent decisions. After half a year of digging through internet search results for guidance on the most important decisions of my life it felt incredibly reassuring to have Kristen and her team at my side. The final divorce settlement exceeded all of my expectations, including my desire to maintain a healthy relationship with the mother of my son. My only regret was not contacting her sooner in the process. Darryl P

When I thought my world was ending and how would I get through one of the toughest moments in my life. I found peace I found someone who cared about what myself and my family was going through and someone who wanted to make it better even though she knew it would never be the same for us. Attorney K...risten Holstrom was able to fight for myself and my children when I was not able to do it myself, she gave me perspective on a bad situation and she guided me to a resolution for what was to come. I know some people like feel at a loss when their world has been changed without their consent, but Attorney Holstrom and her team gave me the tools to move forward and to see that someone had my best interest and the best interest of my children are being handled. I could not have expected a better tun out or found a better Attorney for this horrible situation she did not always tell me what I wanted to hear but she did advise me of what was to come and she prepared me for the next steps. If you your are looking for an Attorney and possible a mentor she is the person for you.
