Had HB&P represent me in a custody case. It took them a year and over $55k to do nothing. Actually I ended up in a worse position in the end. We went to court twice, once with no resolve and a continuance. The other time my lawyer didn't even open her mouth to bring forth our evidence, which we discussed in the hall prior to entering the courtroom. I tried appealing to the managing partner, expressing my dissatisfaction, the insane monthly billings with no results. He was less than cordial with no explanation for the extreme cost and firms lack of accomplishment. To add insult to injury, the opposing lawyer and client violated CA bar standards, blatantly I might add. Long version to skinny..... don't hire this firm unless you have endless money to give them for zero results.

I hired them to assist me with child custody dispute. The communication was excellent. I have since cancelled and they have yet to send me my refund. I have emailed them twice now enquire about my refund and crickets.

Matthew B. is not only a top attorney, capable of navigating & litigating the complexities of a case, but he's also great at balancing the focus on the business goal/desired outcome. Highly recommend HB&P, esp Matthew and his supporting team!

Jim Parke is who you want by your side, when faced with the challenges of today’s court system. His knowledge, ethics, tenacity, decorum, expertise, follow-thru and passion for the law are second to none. I am forever grateful to him and his team for battling alongside with me on a very contentious move-away case and emerging victorious. Highly recommend him, his paralegal Courtney and the entire team at Holstrom, Block and Parke!

I was referred to Holstrom, Block, and Parke by a family member who heard their ad on the radio and said it sounded legitimate. Or at least was fitting for my family law needs. I was skeptical in the beginning but felt like a phone call was in order. From initial contact with the firm I felt assured my case would be handled correctly. I was directed to Carrie Block and I am so glad I was. The family court system can be mean, unfair, and extremely challenging at times but having the correct representation in your corner can make all the difference. Carrie is a rockstar and her experience shines through when she works. We have been working together for about 8mths now but the communication from the team (Courtney/Carrie) keeps my mind at ease that I have the best in my corner helping me fight. If you need a pistol on your side call and ask for Carrie!

John Denny may be a "Super Lawyer", but he is not accurate with his wording on court documents and billing practices. I was sued and this firm was hired to represent the person suing me. John misrepresented me on a form by stating, "my contact was met with a refusal to communicate". I did not refuse to communicate, I did refuse to enter into mediation with him in regards to a legal matter. Upon being served with a bill from the law firm I discovered that my discussion was double billed. ( I am retracting my double billing statement, the other billing was with the client on the same day). A 1 minute, exactly 60 seconds, call was billed at 2/10th's of an hour though. The description on the invoice noted, "telephone conference with opposing party re mediation". So we did communicate. My advice to clients and opposing parties, double check your bills. That 1 minute call was billed at 2/10th's of an hour as well. 1 minute seems to equal 12 minutes in lawyer time. Other than that, my encounter with him was wonderful. I'm still only giving 1 star though.

Matt Bogosian was handed a difficult case. My family law case required a lot of work and attention. Matt provided professionalism, knowledge, and genuine concern throughout the case. I would highly recommend request Matt for your family law needs.

Martindale AV Rated Family Law Specialist. Matt Bogosian lives in SoCal, and I wanted him for my divorce attorney in NoCal. Why? Because he is the best. He is AV rated in Martindales (voted best of the best by his peers). He wrote case law on pre-owned property prior to my the divorce. (See Marriage of Frank & Dawnel Bonvino) Unlike some attorneys I interviewed, he will NOT upset the other side into a LOSE-LOSE war. Matt has a very high EQ, and because people like him, they will become more AGREEABLE to the Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). He is fair to all sides, and will counsel you to what he thinks is best and why. In my case, his fee's were reasonable, and he won a lump sum settlement in killing others and myself with kindness after a 20 year marriage, and 5 year divorce. I was fortunate enough to persuade Matt to take my case. You will be very fortunate if you are able to have him as your counsel!

I had the privilege of collaborating with Family Law Attorney John Denny on 1/28/2020. His knowledge of divorce law and his professionalism was highly impressive. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Denny to anyone considering his services.

I have been represented by Matt Bogosian for approximately 2 years. Matt has made himself available to help me quickly, and at times outside normal business hours, through a contentious divorce. Matt communicates in a professional manner, unlike the opposing counsel, which the Judge even noted in her decisions. The staff at Holstrom, Block & Parke are responsive, kind and informative. I have referred friends to Matt and will continue to do so.
