I felt Sam listened to everything I had to say. She sought to understand where I was coming from and what I needed. I felt like she advocated for me every step of the way. One thing I appreciated about her the most was her honesty and her frankness. If something I requested or was inquiring about would end up costing me more in attorney fees than what I was asking for, she was very honest about that. She took my financial situation into consideration and made sure to do everything she could to make the process as affordable for me as possible. Although attorneys are not cheap, regardless of how they are representing you, I wholeheartedly appreciate the efforts she made to keep my costs low. One thing I would recommend, as the client, is to read over all documents, settlements, requests, and other items in writing and check for misspellings and grammatical errors because I did see quite a few of those. Aside from that, I feel at peace knowing I had Sam representing me throughout my divorce. Her confidence and knowledge of laws surrounding divorce provided me with even more comfort in choosing her as my representation. I would recommend Sam to anyone going through a divorce who needs to feel safe, listened to, and advocated for.

I was blown away by the professionalism, trustworthiness and knowledge my attorney, Jeremy Roark, displayed throughout representing me during my divorce. His passion for the law and his desire to advocate for his clients is exactly what I was looking for and needed while going through my divorce with my ex. My ex tried to lie about our finances, our business, and some assets we had together and Jeremy was able to catch each discrepancy AND prove numerous things wrong on numerous occasions. Jeremy also has a way of communicating and breaking down what is going on in your case in ways that are easy to understand while sharing with your his plan of action so you’re well informed throughout the process as well. If you need a “numbers” guy (someone to break down assets, finances, custody, business)- Jeremy is your guy!  If you need any type of assistance with your custody battle- Trust me when I say, Jeremy is your guy! If you need someone who knows the law inside and out or will get you the answers to all of your questions- Jeremy Roark is your guy!  My ex husband tried to take everything away from me (finances, time with my kids, business) and I truly think that if I had chosen any other attorney, he could’ve gotten away with a lot of the snake moves! I will be forever grateful Mr. Roark represented me.

I can't say enough about Dayn! I was married to the biggest manipulator, to the point he had everyone fooled. It was very hard for me to trust anybody. I learned through this whole process that you have to connect with your lawyer meaning find the right fit, with Dayn I had that. He protected me and went above and beyond to the point I was even sending him text messages. I would never choose a different attorney, I know with him he will always have my best interest. We so far won the spousal support, and I finally have a taste of my own freedom. Freedom from a man that thinks he can over power anybody. NOT MY TEAM!

About two years ago the attorney Sharon M. Anderson assisted in the development of our family trust. At that time she informed us that a minor modification of the trust would be less than $100. About 6 months ago I contacted the firm regarding a very minor modification and was told that she no longer works there. I was told that the firm had restructured and that just to speak with an attorney by phone would be $250, and that would not include the modification. I chose not to pursue it. Today I attempted to reach Mr. Holstrom regarding my concern about the cost and being mislead. I was referred to another assistant. I was informed that there are now free consultations, but any modifications would probably be around $500. Lesson learned: Get it in writing.

I found Holstrom Block & Parke online and scheduled a consultation with Kristen Holstrom who assigned me to Attorney Samantha McBride. Not having any previous experience with family court, I found it important to work with an attorney who was passionate, forward and a high-level thinker as my children are the most important to me. My journey took about 8 months and from start to end, Samantha was always communicative, informed, empathetic, diligent and so much more. When dealing with an ongoing case (especially out of state), it takes an emotional toll on you so it's important to have the right team behind you. Samantha was detailed and took note of our countless calls/emails, she came fully prepared each time to court hearings & made sure I too was prepared but always leveled my expectations. Anytime I had questions or concerns, I received responses quickly and was never left in the dark (even after hours). I am eternally grateful and would recommend to family and friends without a doubt Holstrom, Block & Parke. Again, a huge Thank You to all.

I found Holstrom Block & Parke on AVVO and scheduled a consultation with Sam McBride. She is extremely informative, knowledgeable, and honest. Both Sam and Margo Emil responded to my emails promptly and drafted multiple correspondence to opposing counsel for urgent matters, immediately. Court and custody battles can be extremely stressful and draining but Sam constantly reassured me that everything would be okay and advocated for me and my son. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and the services provided. Thank you to the entire firm for being kind and responsive during this process.

I retained this firm in April 2019 to represent me after my pathological liar of an ex and the vindictive attorney representing her put in a renewal request for lifetime DVRO based on her being scared amongst several other false allegations to further alienate me from our 1.5 year old son and prevent me from EVER having a normal relationship with our son. Dayn Holstrom and his staff agreed to a "free consultation" and convinced me they could help by assigning me to one of the most expensive attorneys in the firm Matthew Bogosian CFLS and the most expensive paralegal in the firm Christie Kaiser, I guess the look of desperation on my face made me an easy mark in their eyes. Come to find out this free consultation cost me $1500. I didn't say anything about the fee because I assumed they could actually help me. After 2 continuances and over 20k+ in fees we finally went to trial in August 2019. I had provided documentation and facts to the firm to represent me in a competent manner. Low and behold right before trial I'm approached by Matthew Bogosian asking me to stipulate to a 5 year DVRO, to which I refused and was completely disappointed on why I even retained the firm. Cross examination of opposing party was pitiful. Direct examination of me was equally pathetic. Only 1 objection was proffered by Matthew. I could immediately tell Matthew was completely unprepared to represent me which was reflected in the renewal of the DVRO. I was better off representing myself and completely regret retaining this firm. Complete waste of money with no results whatsoever. This firm will nickle and dime you for everything yet they don't care about your children, you, or your situation as I quickly found out. Shortly after the trial I was informed the firm needed more money from me, at that point I fired them. Again complete waste of money.

I have been a client of Jeremy Roark for several years now with my divorce, child support, custody case and modifications. I even followed him from his previous firm to HBP because he is the BEST. If you are looking for a family law attorney you won't be let down with Jeremy Roark at HBP.

My daughter's mother moved out of state during her pregnancy. Once my daughter was born, she refused to cooperate with me, even a little. I needed to beg and plead for time with my daughter. Jeremy and his amazing team helped me navigate through the overwhelming process of out of state custody and visitation. The relationship I have with my daughter, now, exists because Jeremy fought for me. Fathers have rights. and he fought for mine. Thank you

Dayn is fiercely intelligent. He's the worst nightmare for your opponent. He does not sugarcoat when he speaks. He doesn't say what you want to hear but says what you have to hear. I kept my house and do not pay alimony after more than 10 years of marriage. Thank you Dayn.
