From her early days working alongside her renowned father, Dayn Holstrom, Kristen's passion for family law flourished. After earning her bachelor's degree in business with an emphasis in Marketing and Economics from Jacksonville University, where she excelled in NCAA Division 1 Soccer on a full scholarship, Kristen returned to California to pursue her Juris Doctorate at Trinity Law School. There, she demonstrated exceptional aptitude and successfully passed both the California State Bar Exam and the California Family Law Specialists Exam.
With over a decade of experience, Kristen has established herself as a respected figure in the legal community, particularly known for her tenacious representation, creative legal strategies, and unwavering dedication to her clients. Her expertise spans diverse family law matters, including divorce, child custody, domestic violence, spousal and child support, and complex financial issues.
Kristen's exemplary legal skills and commitment to her clients have earned her the esteemed designation of Certified Family Law Specialist, an honor bestowed by the California State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization. She is also an active member of the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists (ACFLS) and several local bar associations.
As a Partner and Assistant Managing Partner at Holstrom, Block & Parke, Kristen wears multiple hats, managing her caseload, leading the new client intake department, and overseeing community outreach initiatives for the firm. Her innovative marketing techniques have been widely successful, setting her apart from other attorneys. Clients appreciate her honest and straightforward approach, as she prioritizes giving them the advice they need, rather than what they want to hear. Kristen's empathetic nature and ability to think "outside the box" make her a valued confidante on her clients' journeys.
Beyond her professional achievements, Kristen is actively involved in the local community, holding board positions with esteemed organizations such as the Corona Regional Medical Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Riverside County Bar Association, and Orange County Bar Association. Her contributions have been recognized through numerous awards, including the Super Lawyers Rising Star award for four consecutive years, from 2017 to 2021, reserved for the top 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state, based on peer reviews, statewide surveys, and independent research. Kristen has also received the Top 50 Women Rising Star award and the Top 100 Up-and-Coming Southern California Rising Star list, distinctions that celebrate the top one percent of attorneys in practice for under ten years.
Outside of her legal endeavors, Kristen cherishes quality time with her family and friends. She shares a passion for travel, reading, and football with her husband, particularly as dedicated Green Bay Packers fans. As a devoted mother, you can often find her on the soccer field with her children.
Beyond her professional commitments, Kristen dedicates herself to normalizing the dissolution process and educating her clients on navigating it with greater ease. Catch her on the airwaves every Saturday at 8:30 AM on Go Country 105FM and AM Talk Radio, where she hosts the Number 1 legal talk radio show, offering valuable insights and advice on crucial family law matters.
