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.

Divorce

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

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.

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.

Great Matriomonial Attorney

I have referred many clients to Larry and he has done a stellar job with every referral. He is personable, knowledgeable, and fair and I would use him in my own divorce if should need to do so.
