Great

He did an excellent job convincing the judge that the way to proceed with my recently updated rental property. Was to issue arrest warrants for me and my disabled wife. And put her in jail until I removed the existing rental property. Down to grade. And I also had to pay the township legal fee for hi...m I can't wait to see him again.

Cliff Bloom Review

Arrogant and ignorant - two words that aptly describe my experience with Mr. Bloom. Cliff routinely gets frustrated on calls and is generally unprofessional and unhelpful as he adheres to his "my way or the highway" personality. Unfortunately, Cliff is not knowledgeable in every field and is entire...ly unwilling to actually listen to those who know more than he does. Arrogance and ignorance are a dangerous combination, avoid Cliff Bloom's services if you have the choice. Just look up videos on him in town meetings and you'll see how absurdly arrogant this man is despite being a midwest lawyer.

Professional, Experienced, Excellent Lawyer

Cliff Bloom was very knowledgeable, extremely thorough, honest and easy to talk to. When handling our case he always made sure to explain everything in detail and always took time to answer any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.
