I originally found Kristen after losing confidence in my previous attorney. After the free consultation with Kristen, I hired her and have been happy with my decision ever since. I have been a client for nearly 3 years now and have had successful results in my custody case pretty much since she started representing me. I appreciate that her office is very responsive and was understanding during times of government shutdowns. Attorneys are not cheap, but you often get what you pay for, however Kristen has also offered military discounts which has been extremely helpful. Kristen's team submits documents effectively and sees through the misinformation from the other side. Kristen was also quite a bulldog last time we were in court; she was there and meant business. I would definitely recommend Kristen and her team. read more

Kristen and Samantha and Margo were absolutely amazing. They truly took the time to listen to my case and understood the unique challenges I faced as a single father. In a system where fathers often don't receive the same attention or support, especially when it comes to custody, they saw beyond my gender and focused on my case with genuine care. They recognized the importance of advocating for my child's well-being, and they went into court prepared to fight for me. Having a child with autism and dealing with the difficulties of missed visits, domestic violence at the other parent's home, and the regression in my son's behavior when he returned home was emotionally overwhelming. I needed professionals who could hear my concerns, understand my situation, and organize my evidence effectively for the judge. Kristen and Magen did just that. They put together a powerful narrative for both my son and me. Thank you both for giving me the confidence that as a father, I have rights too. May God continue to bless you as you represent parents who always prioritize the best interests of the child. You both rock! Thank you for everything. read more

I can't say enough about the incredible service and support I received from Brittany VanVeen and her paralegal, Debi. From the very beginning, they were punctual, caring, and consistently responsive. I truly trusted Brittany with my life, and she exceeded every expectation--keeping me informed at every step and ensuring our safety throughout the entire process. Their professionalism was matched by genuine compassion, and I always felt like I was in capable, trustworthy hands. If you're looking for an attorney who is both highly skilled and deeply committed to her clients, I highly recommend Brittany VanVeen and her team. They made a very difficult time more manageable, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. read more

Samantha McBride took care of my child custody case, and all i can say is how amazing she was! I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. When it comes to tough situations i dont think i'd trust anyone else to help. She was extremely honest since the very beginning, nevertheless very knowledgeable with family law. She helped me through every obstacle that emerged. I went from being scared and discouraged to confident & relieved. I couldn't thank her more for everything she did. The best service for the price. She's one lawyer you do not have to think twice about, her character shows how much she actually puts effort into her job rather than like other lawyers who just want your money and could care less for your outcome. Thank you Sam for everything you did ! God Bless you! read more

I hired Ron Funk to dissolve my spousal support after almost 20 years. He was knowledgeable and explained what I could expect. I knew going in that this was going to take time. Ron was experienced with the negotiations and made sure we did settle just to end the support. He was familiar with the process and there were no surprises. Ron has a very good law clerk in Corrina. She was on top of the paperwork and has a very good working knowledge of the process. She was very good keeping me in the loop and always returned my calls and answered my emails in a timely manner. As in any legal dispute, they are stressful. But Ron and Corrina kept it moving forward and the outcome was very satisfactory. read more

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 in San 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. read more

Lindsay Fonseca was absolutely amazing!! She made me feel like she was really on my side and protected me and my rights. She was honest, hard working, communicative, concise, and gave EXCELLENT advice. 6 out of 5 stars if I could! read more

I am happy with the results of my case. The entire team was very professional. I always got my questions answered in a timely manner. My attorney provided valuable feedback, which assisted me in making important decisions regarding my case. read more

In our guardianship case, Attorney Jeremy Roark and his entire team were and continue to be excellent. I am very pleased with the attention to detail and the attention to our case. The entire firm is dedicated to making the client as comfortable as possible during an often confusing and stressful process. Emotions run high when involved in any legal process and ours was no exception. The confidence and professionalism shown by Attorney Roark and his support staff helped us maintain an acceptable level of calm. Jeremy was well-prepared and maintained control of the proceedings in a calm professional manner. He was respectful to all parties - on each side of the case, yet stayed focused on obtaining a positive outcome. read more

I can not begin to relay how much this law firm helped me. I had worked with other attorneys and firms before but this was by far the best experience I have ever had. They went above and beyond, were kind, considerate, extremely efficient and capable. Each staff member did their job with such a positive attitude. They must take good care of their associates because it really shows in how well they take care of clients. Brittany and her team were absolute Angels, so incredably impressive and intelligent. I can't thank them enough and will always recommend them above all else. read more

I was very overwhelmed with issues regarding my divorce. I had two lawyers before Ron, with one that charged $23000 for a 1 1/2 years of nothing (my opinion). Ron, reviewed my case, and prepared court docs in such a way that I believe navigated the presiding judge and opposing counsel to one direction that favored me. Thanks Ron. read more

Everything I was looking for in an attorney representation of my case I was able to find in Mr. Alex Ruiz. I felt like my case had very unique circumstances and that I needed to find an adequate, professional, strong, confident and understanding of my needs type of representation. Mr. Ruiz was always very professional, approachable and always provided the guidance I needed. I am very grateful and satisfied with the level of service provided by Mr. Ruiz and the successful overall outcome of my case as it helped me get closure to all the pain and suffering I endured during my divorce settlement proceedings. read more

Highly recommend Jeremy Roark. His intelligence and courtroom presence is unmatched. Just walking down the halls people knew he's a big deal. He explained everything very clearly and was dedicated to the best possible outcome. I would not hesitate to have Jeremy represent me in the future. read more

I counted on this firm during recent custody issues, and it was a total waste of my money. Lots of big talk, no results. They even have a subdivision called "Custody Queens" with advertisements on social media and a weekly radio show. Yes - social media and a radio show -- for a "professional law firm". They doll themselves up and present a pristine image. I just wish they spent as much attention on serving their client needs and/ or writing acceptable court documents as they did on hair, make-up and nice social media posts. After spending tens of thousands of dollars in fees with this firm, they've now ghosted me and have blocked me on social media (specifically Instagram). The reason: because I left the following honest feedback. This is what has happened over the last couple years: Family Law is a cluster-bomb to begin with, but I thought I finally had hope when I engaged with them. NOPE! Yeah, Family Law is tough for attorneys. And as we all know, and I wish they kept in mind, divorce and custody matters are VERY DIFFICULT and often times traumatic for the people involved - especially our children! Here are the key highlights of my experience with this firm: * My attorney bailed on me less than 24 hours before a HUGE important hearing * This caused a 15 month delay in my case! (The pandemic was not their fault, but bailing just before the hearing absolutely was) * This resulted in my "X" continuing to collect unjustified support payments (which the attorney couldn't negotiate down, or even try?) * They advised me to drop contempt charges for my "X" breaking court order - this further enabled and embolden X's horrific behavior * COUP DE GRAS - they wrote up and submitted a court order, "Stipulated Agreement," that I quickly found out was UNENFORCEABLE! I'm now out tens of thousands of dollars in fees to them, and had NEGATIVE progress in my case - because of them. In the past I actually made MUCH more progress mulling through on my own. Now due to my engagement (and the gobs of $$$ paid in fees) with this firm, my "X's" behavior is emboldened and things are worse than they ever have been. As it stands at this moment, they won't return my calls or offer to do anything about the unenforceable stipulated agreement that THEY wrote up -- which was the entire point of my engagement with them in the first place! - they've blocked me and deleted my feedback elsewhere, and I'm completely out the tens of thousands of dollars I've paid in fees.**** read more

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 about 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 had 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. read more

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. read more

I had the honor of having Samantha McBride as my attorney for a custody revision case. From the first meeting to our hearing Samantha and her team were honest and prepared every step of the way! Samantha doesn't miss a beat she is so educated in her work that it's hard to argue against her it blew me away how she handled herself during our hearing. I felt at ease and confident in what we were perusing because she never lead me in a different direction she was very good at being honest about the reality of these cases and what we could and couldn't pursue even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She definitely is worth every dollar that was spent I never left a meeting or situation feeling like it was a waste she works hard and values her clients. Samantha and James thank you both for all you did for me and my girls thank you for your honesty even when it was hard to hear and thank you for always keeping my girls future and well being the priority! I hope we don't ever have to work together again but if the time every came I'd choose your team in a heartbeat! I'm forever grateful for your work! read more

If I could put half a star, I would. This firm is extremely expensive and not practical. There is no personal touch or concern for the value of the families needs through this difficult time. Through my experience and 14k later, the results I achieved could have been solely done by myself without their help/lack of help! They work with groups of attorneys within their firm. This could be good and bad. My experience was bad. I rarely received call backs within a timely manner (48 hours) I didn't receive notice when they were having another attorney from the firm assist. I urge those who are looking to seek counsel or help in any family law matter to interview several family law attorneys, check with family law facilitators, and research on your own how to file and what to file. So many resources that consume your time and not your money. Btw: after I exhausted all my financial resources, I obviously choose to represent myself. I received exactly what I was hoping to accomplish without this firm. I wish I would have utilized more of my time and resources. read more

In early 2016, I had a consultation for a family lawyer and met with Attorney Kristen Holstrom of Holstrom Block and Parke First off is their firm overall, very gorgeous from the inside out. The staff take your experience to a whole different level, each person I encountered to this day are professional, kind and courteous. Consultation: The day that I met Attorney Kirsten Holstrom, I knew I liked her right off the bat. She was kind, considerate but most importantly, very very HONEST and straightforward. She listened to what I wanted, asked what I needed, then set a realistic expectation for me. After our consult, I retained HBP to represent me. As my case took a turn and things went a completely different way from just a custody case, Attorney Kristen Holstrom continued to never let me walk down this new path alone. She was always there to guide me and help me make informed decisions. Other Attorney's: As my case progressed I met and worked with other attorneys such as Ronald Funk and Samantha McBride. Each attorney was both very professional and a pleasure to work with. I really felt as though they were on my side, made a clear path for expectations and if they did not have an answer, there was no hesitation in consulting with others to ensure they directed me appropriately. Overall: After another successful court date last week, I couldn't stress more how much this firm has done for me. I am glad that I took the chance and called for that consultation, without Attorney Kristen Holstrom and her entire team, I do not know where I or my daughter would be today. I encourage anyone who ever considered hiring an attorney to not hesitate to contact this firm for at least a consultation. Every person I speak with, even if I do not know them personally, I immediately provide them with contact info for Holstrom Block and Parke when they mention the need for an attorney. You cant go wrong! read more

Jeremy is the absolute best. He genuinely cares about your case and tries his hardest for you. By far the best lawyer around!

I cannot recommend enough Attorney NaKesha Ruegg. I hired her to assist me in my move away case and to obtain repayment of childcare and medical expenses. Even though our trial was postponed during a pandemic and nobody could imagine how much of a toll that would take on being in limbo for over a year; her professionalism and ability in the courtroom is unmatched. If I ever need legal services again I will not hesitate to retain her services again. read more

I am sure that we all agree its difficult to select an attorney who you feel is the right representation for you. After a ton of calls picking the brains of the professionals to find the match for me was at best grueling. When you have emotional and physical things going on the last thing anyone needs is to go through is a divorce war. But , alas it happens. I was introduced to the Law Office of Holstrom, Block & Parke, By another Law professional and wow! The whole office staff that I have had interaction with already has been so wonderful! Started with Julia answered the phone. She was so professional yet tender in speech and had an awesome ear for detail. She gave me the warmest welcome of ALL offices that I had spoken to in all of Riverside. Most I found to be so impersonal and even darn right rude to you. But not this office. Your welcomed and feel right from jump street that they have your best interest at heart. I was then transferred to intake Specialist Yvonne Hernandez She began to ask some questions so that she could set up my appointment to speak to the attorney.She was articulate, kind, supportive, energetic, she made me laugh and made me feel comfortable right away. And I thought wow, if this is the kind of service that you get on your first phone call introduction as I was made to feel that they started working for you that every first conversation. Then I was scheduled to speak to the Attorney who was to call me at a specific time. and You guessed it! BAM! right on the min I was told I was introduced to a Law professional that had made my mind up right from the first conversation. She listened to all my concerns and feelings, she began to give to me some real world pragmatics as to the choices I had before me yet, she didn't instill any fear in me. She spoke with authority yet she was not at all pushy. she heard some hard truths from me as to my personal situation yet she listened carefully. she assured me and reassured me of the good outcome she was prepared to fight for. Her confidence I found to be unmatched. Her compassion and gentleness of spirit was genuine. I had a picture in my mind of a warrior that was ready to get suited up for me and fight! This professionals name is NaKesha Ruegg .Now keep in mind this is just the beginning her quoted retainer fees were fair and she really made me feel comfortable with her knowledge and judgment. I say at this point if you have found yourself in a similar looming battle this is one law professional that you need to give a call to and I promise you that you will find what I did because in this world of challenges and many professionals that you would have to chose from, Honesty, Integrity, Professionalism, attention to detail and who care about you and your outcome, VERY hard to find. I have made my choice . My hope is that I have been able to help others to go the right direction in your search for representation as having to repeat your story over and over is so overwhelming but these professionals named here above will go the extra mile for you to be welcomed and perhaps give our journeys a right direction from the start and it is my prayer they will do exactly without discrepancy what they told me they were going to do. But I think we are off to a really good start! I will keep you posted :) Holstrom, Block & Parke! Start here.... 1-855-426-9111 read more

I came in need of a family law attorney upon coming to the end of my marriage with a vindictive, uncooperative opposing party (OP) who consistently plays victim and is incapable of any sort of compromise or reasonable communication. After consulting with 4 different family law firms, I selected Attorney NaKesha Ruegg from Holstrom, Block & Parke, ALPC (HBP Law) as my legal counsel for 2 cases involving matters of dissolution of marriage, child custody, child support, alimony, division of property, domestic violence, and everything else that comes along with a contentious divorce. As a veteran, I also sought recommendation from the local Veteran Center who specifically recommended Attorney NaKesha Ruegg in dealing with matters such as mine. Attorney NaKesha Ruegg has been an exceptional strategist when approaching the matters of my cases. I've been working with Attorney NaKesha Ruegg and her support staff (Ms. Julie Gutierrez) for the past year, and I've observed that they are well experienced with the ins and outs of family law. Attorney NaKesha Ruegg presents her argument well in court, works well to communicate with the OP, and will fight tooth and nail to advocate in the best interest of her clients. read more

Do you want to get ripped off? Then this is the place for you. Awful experience. Went in for some legal assistance with ​child custody and was set up with Ms. Ruegg for an upcoming case. At first,​ it seemed like a dream come true as Ms. Ruegg came off as smart, understanding and most importantly, willing to do everything in her power to get us what we have been fighting to get for ​9 years. We were told the cost of having legal assistance provided and we, in turn,​ informed them that we could do, at most $6,000. We were then told that that should be enough given the fact that we had to subpoena​ a couple of​ witnesses and that would probably add on to the cost. This we were fine with. I deliberately​ kept all emails and calls to a minimum as I knew that this would cause my bill to go up and diminish​ my retainer. I only used some in a 30-minute​ phone meeting with Ms. Ruegg as she told me she wanted to get me prepared for mediation. Before the court date arrived, I was given a bill that said I used around $900. This was good as I would have $5100 left for the appropriate​ papers to be filed and subpoenas​ to be processed. On March 27th, our court date arrived and we were set to go​ when we got word that the judge overseeing​ the case was out due to being sick and there had been another judge in her place. After about 3.5 hours later of watching our lawyer,​ buddy it up with the opposing lawyer and occasionally having her talk to us to tell us that she was just putting on a show in front of him to make herself seem friendly and that he was a complete jerk, our lawyer told us that she was going to file a continuation. When asked why​, she told us that there was no way that we would be able to get what we were asking because the new judge was "old school" and didn't hear cases fully. We agreed, assuming​ she knew what was best, but in actuality, she never gave us the option of continuing before she rushed downstairs to fill out the paperwork. Had she given us the option and told us "if you continue, it'll be an extra charge." we wouldn't have and would've tried our hand with the judge at the time. We had this case in our hands due to one of the witnesses blatantly​ not showing up and substantial​ evidence against the defendant and her current husband but our lawyer took the easy way out. After the court case, our lawyer talked to us and we​ asked her to write up a settlement and present it to the defendant and her lawyer, which never happened. We were then emailed about two weeks after the March hearing stating that if we wanted to continue with assistance​, we'd have to pay an additional $6,000. We weren't able to do this, but did ask if there was some sort of payment plan with the fact that we were so deep into the case and still had a trial to attend. They refused and said they don't do payment plans on active cases. Well we eventually went back to court, only to be told that the current custody order would stay as is. Again, if you want to blow 6,000 and have someone do absolutely nothing for you other than show up to court and duck out because they were most likely unprepared, check out this fine place. read more

Knowledgeble, smart, freindly, helpful and fought for the best interest of my kids and myself. I had been struggling with my divorce and custody battle for several year with a diffrent attourney and nothing being acomplished except my money being spent. I had not even been infront of a judge. Some major custody issues came about and I was and I was referred by a freind to Nakesha by a friend. He told me "she is exspensive but worth every penny". I will tell you she is worth every penny and i spent less then 1/4 of what I spent on my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money. Nakesha had me infront of a Judge with amazing results in less then a few weeks. Nakesha and her staff a very knowledgeable infact the judge thanked her for her knowledge of the law.Nakesha and her staff always responded to any questions or comments I had. Also they did not just tell me what I wanted to hear they gave me honest and clear options and also positive results. My case ended up being moved back to the original state but Nakesha was still very helpful in the steps I should take and finding another Attourney. Then when I found another attourney her and her staff gave my New attourney more then enough knowledge and info to get positive results. read more

Beware! Just another shady law firm that will drag your case out for YEARS just to pay for their fancy offices. The owner will do a huge song and dance about how he'll do such a great job at representing you and then pass you off to one of their subpar attorneys. The staff is beyond incompetent. I've never seen so many obvious typographical errors in my life. The paralegals can barely write a coherent letter. Dates mixed up, names of clients mixed up, incorrect birthdates, wrong addresses; the list goes on and on...regardless of how often you try and correct them. This office had a hard time getting much of anything correct. They will lie, they will discriminate and grossly overcharge you for all of it. read more

The X and I were divorced in 2009 and child support guidelines were set forth in our divorce decree by the Judge. I have since then been hired by a new company and had a pay increase. The X and I had a verbal agreement to up the monthly child support and we would keep it out of court if I agreed. I did agree and kept my word. The X ended up leaving the state we both resided in and moved to CA. After living in CA for a few months, she went back on her word and filed papers to take me to court. I needed an attorney, a professional attorney that knew exactly what to do with my situation. Not living in CA and knowing nothing of the state, I started surfing the web and reading different reviews of attorneys in the area and found hands down that Holstrom, Sissung, Marks & Anderson, APLC was and is the perfect choice. I called the firm and was handled by attorney Kristen Ashleigh Holstrom-Fiebiger and Tiffany Rodriguez. Tiffany listened to my case and after a few email requesting information, she was ready to fight. Tiffany not only listened but also cared about what I had to say even with the false allegations the X had testified against me. Tiffany consulted with me about the different possible outcomes with my case and was strait up and forward with me about every bit of the case and explaining how it all would work. With a few phone calls, emails and a couple of court hearings later, my case was dismissed. Tiffany has vast knowledge about her job with much experience. The research I did looking for the best attorney to handle my case, was well worth it with the end outcome. I highly recommend the firm of Holstrom, Sissung, Marks & Anderson, APLC to anyone looking for professional experience and knowledge from a professional experienced law firm. read more
