worst nightmare!!!!!

This lawyer is a fraud. He didn't defend my interests; instead, he prioritized those of my ex-husband (likely in exchange for a significant financial payoff). He drained my funds by misleading me, while also receiving money from my ex for deceiving and misguiding me. He failed to discover assets and ...savings. I insisted several times that funds and assets must be discovered before divorce, he ignored claiming it could be addressed AFTER the divorce. He pressured me into agreeing to a visitation schedule of two out of three weekends in a favor to my x, claiming the judge would order it anyway. In reality, this was not the case, and the only person benefiting from this arrangement was my ex-husband. Because of the such frequent visitation schedule, he was ordered to pay significantly less child support, Bloom not only failed to warn me about, but insisted for me to accept it. He completely ignored my needs and did everything he could to favor my ex-husband. Unfortunately, I only realized this after signing the divorce agreement, when it was already too late. I can't fully express the stress, devastation, and humiliation I experienced with this man. He should never be allowed to practice law.

Awful should retire

Worst experience I ever had. Did not have staff charged me for rewriting things that he wrote incorrectly. Was not helpful cost me a fortune. I had an amount willing to pay even though he had written me a pre nup. Could not back prenup get wrote incorrectly. Still ran me through 6 months of hell.... Male chauvinist. Did not even try to help me. Just charged me lawyer rates on all. Made me uncomfortable to call him. Actually said he is not here to understand situation just a lawyer. Devorce lawyers are suppose to help situation not make worse. Husband abandoned our property not paying bills and he did not feel that I should be able to change lock for my Safty.

Divorce

The most difficult period of my life was made so simple. I had infinite trust in Larry's expertise. Highly recommended!

International divorce/custody case

I am a social worker who turned to Mr. Bloom for representation of a client enmeshed in a very difficult and complex case: an international divorce and custody case. Mr. Bloom's work is meticulous, and his actions timely - no issue is left to sit on the back burner. He was responsive to requests fo...r time and information, supportive in times of particular stress, and has the patience of a saint. In court, Mr. Bloom is savvy and tenacious. I can recommend him unreservedly.

Knowledgeable & will get the job done!

If you want to win your case and get the the job done efficiently with "no nonsense" this is your guy! He's not a hand holder; he streamlines your case down to the essentials, keeping you on track & point, saving you money and time. He was very responsive and always answered questions in a timely m...anner. He's a lawyer that does what he says, and says what he does, backed up by knowledge and tons of experience. What you see is what you get! Very refreshing. I would highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
