First my Friend / Second my Attorney

I was recommended to Mr. Bliss by the father of a child I coached on my soccer team. I was ill, in the hospital, at the time; and had to go on his advice. It was the best advice I ever have taken. Homer got me through my first divorce in excellent stance, and we have been friends ever since. I woul...d like to 'pass forward' the advice given to me; and suggest you use Mr. Bliss in any Family Legal Matters you might have. Sincerely, Allan

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Bliss is well informed in the law and how the court system works in Duval County. He is a strong advocate for his clients but also a colleague willing to share and mentor younger, less experienced attorneys. I have referred clients to him when necessary and do so with confidence."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
