Reviews
I cannot recommend Kristen Holstrom highly enough. She took on my case with only a few days’ notice over a weekend, and yet came to my hearing fully prepared, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable about the details and history of my situation. From the very start, she guided me through each possible outcome, ensuring I felt informed and ready for anything. Kristen absolutely owned the courtroom—she advocated for me with clarity and strength, leaving the opposing counsel with nothing substantial to say in return. Her presence and preparation made all the difference. I’m also incredibly grateful for her team, who drafted an exceptional written response that clearly played a major role in helping the judge see the full picture and ultimately maintain my majority custody. Kristen and her team are not only sharp, responsive, and professional—they are fierce advocates. I’m beyond thankful I had them in my corner.
Samantha McBride and James Chase are an absolute dream team!! Sam is not only a brilliant attorney, but she truly cares about her clients. She fought for me every step of the way and made sure I understood exactly what was happening. Not to mention, she was a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. James was incredible—always on top of everything, quick to respond, and so easy to work with. I feel incredibly lucky to have had him as the paralegal on my case. They made a stressful process so much easier and gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. I’m beyond grateful for both of them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a family law team that actually cares.
Samantha McBride is hands down the best family law attorney I've had personally represent me (I've had three). From the start of the process having a consultation with her you will see just how thorough she is getting to know you and your case. She explains that she goes above and beyond so she will not be caught off guard by anything in court. Then just gathering information from you during the process by her paralegal James, you will see just how organized and professional the two of them are together. The documents they put together for you, are so well written you will be nothing but impressed by their work. Then to describe the day in court where all her hard work will be displayed in front of the judge and the opposing party. It was like watching a court scene out of movie! Samantha had all her documents laid out on the table, sections highlighted and then proceeded to lay out fact after fact annihilating the opposing party. Not only did she win my case, but she was also able to get the opposing party sanctioned $2,000 for fabricating lies. I would highly recommend Samantha to represent anyone. Her work speaks for itself, and her reviews are a true testament to the service you will receive. You will find five-star ratings across all websites regarding Samantha; she is the BEST family law attorney there is.
I cannot say enough about Samantha McBride and the entire team at Custody Queens. My family law case was extremely complex and highly contentious, but Samantha fought tooth and nail for me and my daughters. She truly helped me navigate one of the hardest times of my life and was able to see through and handle the constant tactics from my co-parent. What really stood out is that Samantha never once dropped the ball — she was always prepared, knowledgeable, and completely invested in my case. Even after the main case was resolved, she continues to be supportive and checks in when I reach out about my daughters’ progress. I truly felt like the entire Custody Queens office cared about us and had our backs. If you are looking for a strong, compassionate, and highly skilled family law attorney who will fight for you and your children, I highly recommend Samantha McBride and Custody Queens.
