Saved my life!

I hired Michael Bloom at a point in my life when I was spiraling out of control. I was facing 14 years in prison for two aggravated DUIs and other offenses. He was able to get many of the charges dropped, significantly reducing my prison sentence by 6 years. This is despite a backdrop of an extensive... criminal history. I have been out of prison since 2019 and I feel that Mike has given me my life back. I'm 8 years sober, I'm back to running my businesses, and I'm establishing better relationships with my family.

Mike Bloom is the real deal!

In 2014 I was arrested on two very serious charges, and I was extremely fortunate that Mr. Bloom agreed to take my case. His dedication to my cases was unparalleled! Mr. Bloom and his outstanding paralegal Maria paid attention to every little detail no matter how minuscule it seemed. Mr. Bloom is ext...remely well educated in his field, and only practices criminal defense, which made me very confident in him representing me. In the end, one of my cases was dismissed, and the second was resolved by Mr. Bloom negotiating an outstanding plea agreement. I would recommend Mr. Bloom and his legal team to anyone seeking the best criminal defense attorney to represent them. I also had peace of mind with Mr. Bloom, which is very relieving when you're facing a lengthy prison sentence, and constant stress. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Bloom again, and he would hands down be my first choice of criminal defense attorneys to represent me!

Totally Professional!

Mike and his office staff were terrific. Our family came to him based on a referral and we couldn't be happier with his representation from start to finish. He was completely responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Mike always kept us up to date and even in his absence, he always made cert...ain that Maria (his assistant) kept us fully informed. She was always available and helped us to relieve our stress during a most difficult time for our family. .Mike was able to explain things to all of us in such a way that we had total confidence in his counsel and advice. He researched the latest law in an area that is constantly in flux. Mike Bloom has earned his reputation as the #1 criminal law attorney in Tucson.

Expert Attorney in Tucson Arizona

Several years ago I was on my way to work when I was pulled over and arrested for a heinous crime. I learned that the state of Arizona filed numerous charges against me (65+ years imprisonment) for child molestation, a crime I did not commit. While I sat in jail I believed my career, home and everyth...ing I had ever worked for, including my life, was over. Although terrified, I was fortunate enough to interview several attorneys over the phone looking for someone who could defend my case. Within several hours Michael Bloom made a personal visit to me in jail. Within days I was released on bond and a new journey began. For the next 16 months Michael Bloom worked diligently on my case. Because of the complexity of the case, I was worried he may not be able to understand or be able to explain the circumstances leading up to the accusations made against me. Michael Bloom always promised me "No stone would go unturned" and that every shred of information would be understood. During this process, I felt despised by the courts, prosecutor and judge. I needed someone on my side who could thwart their power and exert his own. He did just that! Michael Bloom is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and VERY respected in the courtroom. Michael Bloom accompanied me to every court appearance allowing me to feel safe and maintain my self dignity. In the end, Michael Bloom used his lifelong experience understanding what had happened in my case. Michael Bloom created an extensive timeline of events covering several years of my life and used it in conjunction with depositions made from witnesses, expert witnesses, police officers, doctors, lawyers and counselors to uncover the actual motive for the child molestation accusations which wasn't even apparent to me at the time. Staying true to his word he left no stone unturned and knew my case inside and out. Although never showing his hand to the prosecutor, he personally led them to the truth so that they could see for themselves what had actually happened and in turn, the charges were dropped and I avoided trial. This man is not only my hero but a personal savior to me. Michael Bloom preserved my career, home and saved my life. This was a very personal experience for me. If you are in trouble of any kind, complexity or magnitude, you need a representative to be your voice. The courts will not favor you at any time, trust me. Michael Bloom will level the playing field and I believe he IS your advantage. Respectfully, Brian
