If you find yourself in family court, you have already lost. However, if you do find yourself in that situation. I strongly recommend retaining the services of Samantha McBride. She will ask the right questions, do the research and work to position your case in the most effective way in court. Samantha McBride truly listens when other attorneys just goes through the motions. There is no doubt in my mind, she was the reason for the positive outcome in my case. Thank you for all of your help, Sam.

at first I was a little worried about my case and the outcome...however thanks to my attorney; Jeremy Roark, I was really happy with my results and the support his lawfirm was able to provide to me. they were able to help me from getting ready for the mediation all the way to showing up in court and doing an excellent job representing me. ultimately the judge ruled in our favor and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome thank you to everyone at holstrom, block and parke for all the hard work you all did. Would 100% RECOMMEND

I would like to take this time to express my gratitude to Melanie Suba and Chandra Moss of Holstrom, Block, & Parke for taking on my case. Your experience and ability to convey all that was relative and then put all this together in a fair and equitable manner helped me enormously. This was a very difficult time for me and your help was vastly needed and for this I wish also to extend my thanks. An enormous problem was solved, due to all your professional expert support and service. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you. I will always be grateful to Ms. Robin De LaTorre for having recommended you Thank you, again, for taking on my case. For with you at the Helm, I withstood the gale that looked like a storm brewing.

Mr Roark was the best attorney I could have ever asked for hands down . He shows empathy he was encouraging he was kind listened to me . Even when I got upset he knew how to shut me up so I wouldn’t get myself in trouble in front of the judge . He was honest set a realistic expectation. When I say he fought as hard as he could for me I mean he was like the lawyers in the movies and the shows you see he was a SHARK and if your looking for a shark look no more he is well worth every penny . And even though I didn’t get the outcome I wanted he helped me not lose custody or have to pay sanctions and that is a victory . He is truly the best .

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.

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.
