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.

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.

Mr. Bloom was able to quell a lot of my fears and concerns regarding my ongoing divorce. He has stayed on top of contacting my wife's attorney to discuss mutual respectful terms as well as answer any demands on a timely basis. He has also made himself available on a day's notice if I had any questi...ons or needed to go over an issue with him. I would certainly recommend Mr. Bloom.

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.
