Business & Personal Attorney

Steve Bloom has been and continues to be my personal and business attorney for over 15 years. Throughout this time he has been a sound advisor and colleague whom I trust implicitly. Steve has assisted me with all aspects of business law from forming a new company to selling an existing one, and eve...rything in between. When he enters an area of the law where he feels that others might be more appropriate advisors he has been very up front in that regard, and recommends others, whether partners within his own firm or attorneys from competing firms whom he knows and respects as experts in those areas. I admire and respect anyone who freely recognizes that he/she cannot be all things to all people and puts the interests of his cllient ahead of his own interests. When I think of Steve, the words honest, competent, sensitive and integrity come to mind. He is not your prototypical attorney in that he will council not only from a legal standpoint, but also from his heart and based upon his own beliefs, morals and ethics. And I found that type of council to be refreshing and enlightening. Steve is also a Christian attorney who offers sound advice based upon solid Bibilical principals. He is not afraid to speak his mind based upon his faith in God and love of God, but does not do so in a condescending nor confrontational manner. Instead, it is spoken in love and in a way that makes one want to respond in kind. Once again I find that to be quite refreshing and engaging, and would encourage anyone looking for an attorney who is confident, intelligent, well-spoken in the law and in his faith, yet not intimidating, domineering nor overbearing to consider using Steve Bloom.

  • 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.
