How do you educate your clients on being better co-parents? | Kristen A. Holstrom, CFLS
How do you educate your clients on being better co-parents? One of the biggest reasons a client or two parties end up on litigation is because they fail at coparenting. There's a lot of issues, or boxes, in a divorce case as I call them. You have your financial obligations, your assets and debts, and potentially child support and spousal support, then you have your custody and visitation. And that is something that I am very passionate about.

What are some qualities that make you stand out as an attorney? | Kristen A. Holstrom, CFLS
What are some qualities that make you stand out as an attorney? My entire life I have been an athlete. I was a Division 1 soccer player at Jacksonville University. And I say that because athletes are strong, they are tenacious, they are disciplined. I might be 5' 3 3/4" but I walk like I am 6', and that's what makes me stand out.
What made you pursue a career in law? | Kristen A. Holstrom, CFLS
What made you pursue a career in law? My father is the Managing Partner of Holstrom, Block & Parke and I've worked with him, and for him, since the age of 16. I also have two brothers that recently graduated from law school, so I guess you can say that I was born into law?
Why did you choose to specialize in family law? | Kristen A. Holstrom, CFLS
Why did you choose to specialize in family law? Family law is a very emotional process. I often get people that call or text or email me that are in the most dire situation in their life. They're dealing with everything from domestic violence to custody litigation to spousal support or financial issues.
