Samantha Kate McBride

Nobody wants to need an attorney and there is no more stressful time than an issues of divorce or child custody. As a single mother who suddenly became in broiled in a surprise child custody case I was anxious, scared and quite lost with what was happening. One single phone call with Samantha eased... weeks of tension and placed me in a position where I knew that myself and my daughters were going to be taken care of. She and her entire staff including additional attorneys and paralegals make sure that your case has the attention it needs and that you are consistently informed of your choices with in the court legal system as well as what is happening with the progression of your case. I was always able to get somebody on the telephone. They took a very stressful time and relieve some of the burden while making sure that my daughters and I were protected but respecting the choices that I needed to make for my family. Well I hope to never have to do this sort of proceeding again I would 100% use both Samantha McBride and this firm again. When it comes to your children trust is a very important thing and I would 100% also trust this firm with what is in the best interest of my daughters and I felt that that is what we received from them during these proceedings.

I hate combing through reviews that don’t give you the why. I hope you’ll find this one different. So here’s why you should hire Samantha McBride. She’s a living filing cabinet full of updated knowledge on the present law, tax codes, and legal rights that the average person most likely has no clue ...about. Simply put, as an overwhelmed father attempting to gain fair representation in a child custody case I couldn’t have picked a better team to represent me than Sam and Kristen Holstrom’s team at HB&P. Sam “dumbed” down the legal “babble” to a level I could understand and at the same time never made me feel inferior. I always left our consultations and phone calls satifsfied and with my questions and concerns resolved. She talks to you patiently and respectfully in a nonjudgmental manner. She is very thourough and methodical making sure you understand every aspect of your case, California law, and variable options available to you. She got me results sooner and better than I ever would’ve thought. I can’t recommend a better law firm than Sam and HBP. I am, a very satisfied customer highly recommending her. Thank you again Sam! Respectfully, Ryan

I was very lucky to have Sam working with me on my case. She is very knowledgeable and her expertise with child custody truly shows. I was also extremely thankful to have her help prepare me before mediation. I was very nervous and unsure of what to expect in there but she ran through different scen...arios for me, addressed all my concerns and answered all the questions I had, and in the end left me very prepared and confident which produced a great outcome. She was quick to answer all of the emails I had sent her way and made sure to follow up with me throughout the entire court process. I cannot be happier with the way my case turned out and I have Sam, Kristen and the entire team at Holstrom Block & Parke to thank for that. I would highly recommend Sam to my family and friends dealing with custody issues

Samantha is an all around class act. Guided by her legal prowess and cunning ability to strategize. I was successfully and swiftly by legal standards; enabled to achieve a favorable decision allowing me to have equal custody of my son. Samantha’s talents alongside her personable nature allowed me to ...calmly relinquish any angst. This alone is worth the admission for services rendered & I highly recommend anyone in need to follow suit.

Samantha is the best! She worked on my divorce and custody case and was always well prepared and available to answer my questions and discuss my concerns. She went above and beyond and I always felt confident in the court room. She gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time. I highly recommen...d her, she truly was a blessing to my children and me.
