Heidi C. Bloom

I have probably one of the most complicated divorces and custody situations imaginable which has dragged on for a long time due to my own mistakes. Heidi is extremely professional, an incredible memory and a fantastic understanding of the law. She is a very caring person and she can tell you her... opinion but has always been very diligent to work for what I wanted not her. She has a very kind heart but she is completely unabashed in telling you the cold hard truth whether you are ready to hear it or not. I have been angry with her and argued with her before thanking her for helping me see what I wasn't. I have been exposed to many opposing lawyers in my case and Heidi is the only one who really displays integrity and honesty. She plays hard but fairly. She isn't out for dramatics and she believes in settling things out of court if possible but not afraid to fight. In the courtroom is where she is extremely effective, articulate and passionate. I believe that her complete honest conviction and how she expressed it made the difference in my custody case. She is very organized in her thoughts and makes very rational arguments. She cares a lot about what she does and her reputation for honesty and being a straight shooter matters a lot - judges know which lawyers are serious and which are histrionic clowns. She has always been sure I was honest in what I say and works hard to develop the best strategies possible. It is a big firm. Heidi isn't always the best at returning calls sometimes. Sometimes you have to call twice or maybe three times. But at the times when time mattered, it was always the first time or she had already called me. With every experience I had- and seeing how bad the legal system is, how slimy the other attorneys are- I am very proud to have worked with someone of Heidi's character and someone I respect a great deal as a person and a lawyer.
