Lawrence H. Bloom

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.

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.

I retained Mr. Bloom for a very complicated, unique, and sensitive name change proceeding. Literally, lives were at stake in the matter. The case involved state and federal statutes, sealed orders, sealed hearings, interaction with federal prosecutors and federal agencies, and required special care a...nd attention from counsel. In all aspects of the case, Mr. Bloom performed in a highly professional manner, was particularly sensitive to the difficult issues encountered, and in the end, after much more effort than was originally anticipated, a full and complete positive result was achieved.

Larry is one of the best attorneys I've dealt with. His depth of knowledge and experience in family law is unmatched. Going through a family court proceeding is very stressful. Larry has a way of helping you deal with it that allows you to focus on other areas of your life without pulling your hair ...out. He's like a therapist and legal counsel all in one.
