I cannot express enough gratitude to Sam and the entire team for their exceptional work on my case. From start to finish, they provided unwavering support, professionalism, and expertise, guiding me through every step of the process with care and clarity. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciate the dedication and commitment they showed throughout. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate legal team to handle your divorce, I highly recommend them. Their professionalism and attention to detail made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I will absolutely refer anyone in need of a divorce attorney to this firm.

I still remember the day I called the main line, 37 weeks pregnant, in complete disarray being threatened, when Alisha picked up the phone. I knew from that moment this was a firm I wanted and needed. I was referred by a friend to request for Samantha McBride specifically, and that her reputation inSan Bernardino County is unmatched. That call was almost 2 years ago. Today I have peace because of this firm. Thank you to the entire team, and most importantly, Sam. Thankful you’re a phone call away if I ever need you again.

Attorney Samantha McBride was attentive and thorough during the entirety of my case. She is not only exceedingly knowledgeable about family law, but she took an active interest in me as a client and a person, and supported me each step of the way. I am grateful for her help and service, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Hired Sam last minute, literally 48hrs before court, and with how prepared she was, you’d think she knew my case for months. Her coordinator, James, was phenomenal in gathering the information and putting the packets together for her. She kept it 100% with me the entire time, things she thought the courts would agree to and told me when to back off of other items. I hate to say we “won” our case because in child custody matters, it shouldn’t be able winning or losing, but she got exactly what was best for my child. And that is all I was concerned about. She was concise, articulate, to the point, with poise and a firm no nonsense tone in her voice she breezed through the hearing. I couldn’t be more happy with her and her team. They came together in a rush and we can a successful outcome. In a moment of panic, she had me take a moment, talked over things, and prepped me to face the opposing party. I haven’t felt that confident around him in years.

Samantha is so educated in what she does and she doesn’t miss a beat she is professional and prepared at every meeting she gives honest scenarios and never leads you into something she doesn’t believe will be successful for you and your children. I’m so beyond grateful for my time with Sam and her right hand James he was always there to answer my questions and be honest and put me at ease through a very uncomfortable custody revision case. Thank you both for all you did for me and my girls.

Samantha has many cases that she handles, but she worked with me as though I was her only case. She and her paralegal accurately, quickly, and effectively took care of everything so that I would not have the added stress. Samantha fought for me and I was able to get the visitation schedule I wanted, the child support I needed, and she even got the tax issues resolved. I highly recommend her to anyone who is striving to protect what is best for you and your family.

I have been going through a very "complicated", tumultuous case. Samantha McBride has been right by my side through it all! She is honest (even with things you don't want to hear, but NEED to hear) , she is supportive, invested and also fights hard. I felt as though she truly put her heart and soul into this for myself and my daughters.

Samantha is extremely detail-oriented, eloquent, attentive, and devoted to her clients. She's also a straight-shooter and I appreciate the fact that she didn't sugarcoat anything for me as it was my first time dealing with the court system and so initially, I had no idea what to expect. Nevertheless, the calm, collected, and aggressive way she handled my case really settled my nerves right away and assured me that I was in good hands from the very beginning. It seemed that she almost had a sixth sense when it came to predicting basically everything the opposing counsel and party were going to do or say and always had a rapid response ready and waiting. Thank you so much!!

After going through a very toxic and hostile 2 year custody battle and having 2 prior attorneys representing me, my husband found Kristen Holstrom and Samantha McBride from Holstrom, Block, and Parke on SuperLawyers.com. The first time I ever stepped foot into Holstrom, Block, and Parke I was amazed. The office is very nice and professional, and every employee is pleasant and professional. The members of my legal team included several people, from administrative personal to paralegals and attorneys. Everyone works together as a team so every member of my legal team representing me knew exactly what was going on with my case. I never once felt the need to micromanage and had 100% confidence that they knew every single detail of my case. I never once had to remind them of significant details regarding my case. Their response time is impeccable and prompt, and it was very easy to get a hold of my legal team when needed. Despite their case load, I was always made to feel like my case was their top priority. Not for the person who is on a budget, but they are 100% worth the money spent! Samantha McBride was the primary attorney representing me and she was everything I prayed for in an attorney. She is an absolute gem and I have nothing but positive things to say about her and the law firm. She is top notch when it comes to her knowledge regarding custody laws, in particular custody cases involving substance abuse. She is very protective of her clients and individuals involved in the case, and will not say or do anything to jeopardize their wellbeing. She is very honest and will give you advice even if it’s not what you want to hear at the time. She is very tactical and strategic with her litigation, and knows opposing counsels tactics as well. She is assertive in the courtroom and quite a pistol, yet handles arguments with such grace. She took my case on knowing that I had been done wrong in the past by prior attorneys, and was more than ready to fight for me and my son. She was simply a godsend and was able to successfully get me 100% of what I was fighting for.

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, Sam.

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.

Samantha walked into every day at court prepared and ready to fight for me. Samantha provided above and beyond service.
