Keep Calm

I rated Larry with five stars across the board. Why? Because out of all the lawyers I have had to work with, Larry was by far the best. Getting divorced sucks. There is no other way to say it. You will spend lots of money to wind up with an agreement that will not be what you hoped for. ... It is up to your attorney to prepare you for that. It is up to your attorney to keep you informed of all the possibilities and pitfalls. Larry does that. What did Larry not do? Larry didn't lead me around by my emotions. He didn't milk me for billable hour after billable hour stoking the divorce flames to enrich his monthly invoice. I had two other divorce attorneys before Larry. Larry was the only one who kept the focus on what was achievable and realistic. Larry let me know when my requests were wastes of time and money. In the end Larry was the one to close out all my divorce, custody, and support proceedings.

Looking at the Big Picture

In the midst of any family legal situation, emotions run high. Feelings of anger, disappointment, hurt, betrayal, guilt, anxiety and despair are some of the feeling one has all at the same time. It's a volatile mixture of emotions. Those lawyers who are solely interested in winning at any cost use th...ese emotions to get their clients to say and do things that will destroy future hopes at some type of relationship between parties after the court case. They leave the parties with more anger and bitterness than before. Lawrence Bloom is not one of those lawyers. Yes, he wants to win the case there is no doubt, but he is also concerned about what happens afterwards. Having a workable relationship between family members is his post court goal. Achieving his goal is accomplished by conducting the case in a fair, honest and professional manner.

Best attorney i have ever had

Larry accompanied me through the difficult time of divorce. Yes,i said accompany. He was truly more then an regular attorney. He was a companion walking next to me and leading my way. His loyalty,honesty,expertise and compassion were simply outstanding. Every single advise he gave turned out to be fo...r my best,although,i admit ,sometimes fought him having been in an typical emotional "divorce" state of mind. But luckily i was smart enough to listen to him.he saved me from emotional and financial damage. And at the end i found myself as a free woman, ready to move on with her life, with a clear mind and a happy heart. Larry,i can not thank you enough for what you have done for me and i will be always grateful. I highly recommend you as an attorney and hope there will be many more to be supported and led through their journey by you. Thank you very much again Christina

saved me tons of money

When the divorce settlement is finalized and you think the fight is over... think again. As each piece of real estate sold and the division of the proceeds was about to take place, the new math came into being. All of a sudden, my share of the proceeds always shrank. Thankfully I had Lawrence Bloo...m looking out for my best interests. Always keeping me in the loop and informed every step of the way, Mr. Bloom held my ex and her lawyers to the exact terms of the settlement and stopped them from cheating me out of the money I was entitled to. On a scale of one to five stars, I rate him ten stars.

Perseverance

represented me for over 20 years through continuous battles with ex-spouse. Was always on top of the situation despite an unstable adversary and a multitude of high profile opposing attorneys. Client always came first for Larry.
