Hiring Brian to help with my very complicated divorce was the best decision I made. My now ex-husband had dual citizenship and was actually suddenly incarcerated in Jordan in 2016 while going there on a business trip for unethical business dealings leaving my kids and I with little money in the bank, the mortgage and car payments behind. Lawsuits began arising in CA as well, as I uncovered the lies and hidden life of my ex. Brian was relentless in finding a way to serve him papers while he was in jail which allowed my children and I to move on with our lives and me to clear my name from his actions. I was able to be granted a divorce in 2017, a mere 13 months from when I first consulted him. If you’re looking for a tenacious attorney who will think outside the box and fight relentlessly for his clients, Brian is your man!
Hiring Brian was easily the best and most important decision I made during my divorce. Brian and his team are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, reasonable, strategic and, most significantly, ethical in all aspects of their service. The firm is completely networked into the OC family law environment. Brian expertly guided me through an intense 18-month divorce and ultimately secured the absolute best judgement possible for me and my children. I can't thank him enough! If you are considering hiring Brian and the Seastrom Seastrom & Tuttle firm - stop thinking about it and do it now!
Brian and his staff were all fantastic during this odyssey called divorce. I was quite impressed with his professional yet friendly way of dealing not only with me but my wife and her attorney as well. He is genuinely concerned with achieving the best outcome in these admittedly trying circumstances without increasing costs unnecessarily. Brian truly is a credit to his profession. He knows his stuff. His advice and counsel I found to be spot on even though I did not always immediately agree or follow that good advice. He has your back and will do his utmost to see that you are treated fairly during this entire process. I don't wish a divorce on anyone but if one's in your future, you want Brian on your side.
When I think of Brian and his team the first thing that comes to mind is Very ethical!! When I decided to hire Brian he took care of everything and guiding me in the process. He was always one step ahead and did everything he could to get everything rectified as soon as possible. Divorce can be very stressful situation, Brian and his team did everything to minimize the stress for me. Because of my positive experience. I have already recommended him to several people. Sincerely, Paul
For me, divorce was an unfortunate necessity to protect myself, my child and my future. It was not to be treated as a competition for financial gain or an opportunity to punish the other party. I expected my actions and the actions of my attorney to be fair, equitable in the division of assets and custody, and respectful of the other party regardless of their behavior. Brian Seastrom was a terrific partner who understood my goals, managed my expectations and delivered a result without compromising my values. Consistently, Brian was able to provide a simple explanation of the divorce process, strategy, schedule and costs. His ability to provide a roadmap of the process and the options available to me helped provide comfort and security through what was a frightening and unfamiliar experience. Brian’s services included obtaining a domestic violence restraining order, recommending and guiding me through a child custody evaluation, including the referral of professional child monitors, defending me against requests for spousal support and attorney’s fees, and obtaining a financial settlement prior to trial. I was proud of the manner in which Brian and his team conducted themselves in written letters and filings as well as in courtroom arguments. I was witness to the respect Brian had earned from his peers in court and appreciated his professionalism and preparation for our hearings. Brian is an excellent attorney and I am grateful for his support and counsel.
Game Changer! Hiring Brian was the best legal experience our family was fortunate to have.He was able to succeed where previous attorneys had failed. Brian came in midway and quickly turned a turbulent custody case in my favor. He was prepared, understood all angles of our case and made viable arguments that swiftly brought positive results. It is hard to find a great Family attorney. Brian showed me what a difference exceptional representation can make. I now have peace of mind, a great relationship with my son, and confidence if ever needed again in the future.
Going through divorce is extremely stressful, so the last thing a client needs is stress related to their own attorney. Unfortunately, prior to substituting to Brian Seastrom for representation in my own divorce, I was experiencing tremendous frustration with the first attorney on the case. Switching representation to Brian was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From our first meeting, Brian and his staff were professional, courteous, and operated at the highest level of professionalism. Brian is bright, knowledgeable, and we immediately were able to communicate on a high level about strategy. He clearly understood my concerns and interests, and worked efficiently to help my quickly resolve the matter with outstanding results. Very quickly I realized he and his firm are extremely well regarded in the Family Law community as well. When the substitution first occurred my ex wife's attorney told her she was intimidated, which I saw as a good sign. Later, I came to find out that the Judges and Commissioners trust his knowledge and judgment such that his assertions are given significant weight. As a result of all of this, my case went extremely well, with me ending up with 50/50 custody of my two girls, the family house, all community debts paid off, and very low child support and spousal support due from me. Since that time, both spousal and child support has been removed. I believe working with Brian was very instrumental in achieving these results. Humorously, after switching to Brian, the first attorney wrote me a long and rambling letter explaining why none of this would be possible. You were wrong D.B.! Since that time, I have referred many of my own clients to Brian Seastrom for assistance in their own Family Law Matters. To the last one, they have all been pleased, with similar experiences and outcomes. I strongly endorse him for anyone seeking representation in a divorce.
I feel very fortunate to have placed my trust in Brian as my attorney. Brian is a throwback to the days when doing what's right meant more than the almighty dollar and he always thought about protecting me first and foremost regardless of his own personal gain. I hope I never ever need an attorney again, but if I do I know who to call. Brian helped me (a father) with a very difficult and complex child custody issue, that ultimately resulted in me having custody of my son 80% of the time. Yes our arrangement was attorney/client, but he always thought about what was best for me, regardless of whether that meant more or less billing hours for him. I truly appreciate all he has done for me.
I had a consult with Brian and thought he was very professional and realistic. I appreciated his forthright strategic approach. He was patient to educate me on the legal process, potential outcomes and risks for the desired outcome and what would be best for my financial and custody situation. You feel like he's on your side to win and not take you for a ride... like other shady lawyers out for their financial gain. He has been a great resource for referrals for other legal matters that are not in his area of expertise and always quick to respond.
I used Brian to settle my divorce 3 years ago. He saved me, when I finally found Brian my layer was messing everything up. I fired him and hired Brian and it was the best decision I ever made. He is the person that the other Lawyers go to when they get a divorce. He is honest and will tell you the truth, not what you want to hear. He is well respected and that's really important because he will manage you and your case in a way that gives you credibility if you end up in court. He is worth every dollar.
