Lisa is a master at her craft!

The day that Lisa Bloom took on my case, as demanding as it was, I knew that I would have a chance for justice. Lisa does not allow challenges to reduce her, she uses them to grow bigger and better. I’ve come to learn that Lisa has a powerful transformative gift. This very gift allows her to lift cli...ents from a devastating place of anguish, tragedy and disadvantage, to a place of conviction, strength, spirit and hope. Lisa’s ability to translate the legal system to the common layperson (like myself) is beyond appreciated when you are overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and uncertain. Expounding upon that, Lisa’s patience is like that of a saint; her time is never too sacred to spare and she cares deeply about her client’s security. Lisa astounds me with her quickness, wit, commitment, and professionalism. She is brilliant in every sense of the word. Reliably judicious, Lisa’s hard work is glaringly evident in the esteem, reputation, and success she has earned throughout the years. Lisa is a real-life superhero and a role model for all. I will be eternally grateful to her for her unbelievable work on my case!

Amazing attorney with a fierce passion for justice

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Lisa and The Bloom Firm. When I came to The Bloom Firm last year, I was in the middle of an exhausting and draining sexual harassment case against my former employer. My (then) current attorney was not giving me the attention my case needed and I had f...elt like I was just another paycheck. From the first time I walked into The Bloom Firm offices, I felt like I was with family. Lisa took the time whenever I had a question or wanted an update to sit with me and explain all of my options, any updates with the case, and she always cared about me as a person and how I was handling the situation. In the end, Lisa won my case and brought me much needed closure on a very dark time in my life. Lisa and her attorneys are not only amazing lawyers, they are amazing people that genuinely cared about me and my case. I would highly recommend Lisa Bloom to anyone and everyone looking to hire an attorney.

I would highly recommend Lisa Bloom

I utilized Lisa Bloom for a sexual harassment case with my former employer. I was in a terrible position where I felt forced to leave my company after 15 years. The harassment by my immediate supervisor and the company President became unbearable. After great thought, I decided to defend myself and r...eached out to Lisa for a consultation and then hired her. Lisa offered me a clear understanding of what I was about to go; she explained the economic, emotional, and logistical process clearly. In addition, her confidence, professionalism, and poise while representing me eased the uncomfortable process of this type of case. I would highly recommend Lisa Bloom.

Smart, strategic, and fearless attorney who stands for civil rights justice

Lisa Bloom, Esq., Jivaka Candappa, Esq., and Jordan Oslin, Esq. have been extraordinary and passionate attorneys representing me in an arbitration case against one of the largest employers of the Los Angeles. I have witnessed their unconditional support to seeking justice for me. They are representin...g me in a case of alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination. Lisa Bloom's interest is vibrant and her fearless stand for justice makes her a formidable attorney. I am so glad to be represented by such an intelligent and caring woman attorney. Jivaka Candappa sees and understands it all with limpid clarity and is a powerful litigation attorney that I am most impressed to see standing next to me. Jordan Oslin has patiently explained to me things step by step. With an immense memory for information, great attention to details and superb organization skills, Jordan thinks strategically and keeps me grounded by explaining what matters the most. Everyone is very prompt with emails or calls. The Bloom Firm experience is a lot more than the legal representation. There is a very human and warm presence with everyone at the Bloom Firm. Braden Pollock, the firm manager, a phenomenal media expert, cares deeply about the clients and cases. He always warmly greets me and checks on how things are going although I would anticipate that he is managing a million of things all in parallel. Steve Colon, paralegal, makes complicated things happen in no time with a smile, Marcelino Valencap, assistant to Lisa Bloom and media coordinator, lines up meetings with superb efficiency.

Love Lisa and her legal team!

Lisa and her legal team are amazing. I needed a new entertainment attorney and met Jordan from The Bloom Firm. He is young but super smart. He spends a lot of time explaining everything to me. And the best part is that all the lawyers work together with Lisa so he is able to seek counsel with any spe...cialist in the firm. I like that.
