Best decision ever

I had spent months looking up reviews for different lawyers for my custody case. I was hesitant to choose any because this was the most important thing to me and wanted to make sure I chose the right lawyer to represent me. Kristen stood way out to me from all of the others so I decided to schedule a... consultation with her. I was blown away with how much she knew and her experience in this field, how confident and thorough she was and how confident all of that made me feel with my case. I walked in there scared and nervous and walked out ready to kick some butt. The entire office/team is welcoming and helpful and I had the added bonus of working with Sam and Margo, both were SO helpful and quick to answer any and all emails I sent their way. There was also constant communication which was important to me. Kristen gave me the best advice and was very honest and open with possible outcomes for my situation. I honestly would not have had my case go in my favor, or have gotten the outcome I was happy with if it was not for her. I am SO happy and beyond thankful that I chose Holstrom Block & Parke. Trusting Kristen to represent me was hands down the best decision I could have made and I would highly recommend her to any family and friends I have going through custody issues.

Posted by Ryan S | November 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

You know what they say about ‘peace of mind!’. . .

The short answer I hired her to help me with custody, visitation, and father’s Rights protection for me and my new born son; who’s mother is not married to me. Everyone listen up! If you don’t have a clue where to start and you have custody or alimony issues etc, then you have to hire this lawyer. R...emember, peace of mind is priceless!! So here’s the long asnwer: When you retain Kristen Hosltrom, you aren’t just retaining one lawyer, you’re retaining the whole Holstrom team. The minute you walk into their office, everyone there immediately gives you support and comfort. Trust me, you can rest easy knowing the whole team has your back. So with my story, I needed a lawyer that understood father’s rights and one who wouldn’t treat like a stereotypical middle aged father who made horrible decisions and was looking to bow out. Kristen, Samantha, and Vanessa, or Team Holstrom, as I like to refer to them always treated me with respect,. They also took the time to answer all my questions and always made me feel like I was getting sound legal advise. Even after 6 months, they still took the time to add the human touch with me, a Dad who had hit rock bottom and didn’t know where to start or what my vulnerabilities were legally and financially. Since they however, did know the best way to protect me I’m happy to share with you that the results turned out better than I expected. I honestly gotta tell you. This legal team Kristen has assembled did a hell of a better job easing my soul than my therapist ever did. So if you’ve hit rock bottom, and you don’t know the law or what your rights are related to custody issues, and if you are looking for a honest lawyer with a heart and soul, that is not out to price gauge you, I highly endorse Kristen Holstrom. She was very professional and was able to get me everything we asked for in court. No lie. I was able to get 100% of the concessions Kristen pleaded for in my court case. I had always heard, “it’s Mothers Day everyday in court.” Totally not true. With Kristen I got the visitation stipulations I asked for, as well as, all the legal aspects related to Father’s rights and newborn children. Hiring Kristen and team Holstrom was one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made! I know she treats all her clients with love and respect, but I still feel like I’m her biggest VIP client on her caseload. To conclude, Forget 5 stars, Kristen gets 10 stars! She’s just that good.

Highly recommend Ms. Holstrom

She is extremely knowledgeable. She won’t promise anything she can’t do. Prompt and thorough attention to my case and very honest about the proceedings and futire matters. Couldn’t be happier to have her by my side.

Phenomenal

My case was very contentious, after my separation my ex wasn't cooperating with me and was basically using our child as a pawn to get a custody agreement that was favorable for her. Kristen was involved with my separation every step of the way and without her advice and boldness, I would be an every... other weekend Father. Due to Kristen's extensive knowledge of family law, professionalism, work ethic, availability, boldness, etc. I ended up getting a custody agreement that was favorable to me (more time than 50%). I am extremely happy with having Kristen handle my case, am glad I had the Holstrom, Block & Parke team behind me during this tumultuous time.

Assertive Representation

I hired Kristen Holstrom to represent me in a second round custody dispute. If you are contemplating divorce or need representation to modify a custody order Kristen and the team at Holstrom, Block & Parke will exceed your expectations. Development and execution of a comprehensive litigation strateg...y resulted in a significantly improved child custody agreement. Additionally, Kristen was able to mitigate my exposure to substantial legal expenses accrued by my ex-wife. Competent and compassionate representation is the hallmark of this firm.
