Allen Robert Bloom

Allen Bloom….he is almost indescribable. I would recommend Allen Bloom to anyone that needs a caring and detailed Criminal Attorney. He assisted our family through two cases that were both long, difficult, and seemingly without hope processes. My family and I were to the point of giving up and acc...epting the fact of two of our family members possibly spending the rest of their lives apart from us forever. Attorney Bloom’s work speaks for itself. He was hired for two different cases for our family. He is not limited to just the California area. We reached out to him for a situation in another state and he accepted the challenge and a challenge it was. Everything seemed to be so dim and not much hope….Attorney Bloom has the love for people and once he met with both of these clients, he was nonstop. He believed that both of them were innocent and that’s what he fought for was an opportunity for both of them to have what they deserved: a chance to be back in the society that they should have never been away from, to be with their families and get their lives back on track. These were both felony cases and as stated above we could have chosen other attorneys in the second state but once you meet Allen Bloom “there is no second choice.” His character as an individual and the manner that he worked with the family is simply unbelievable. There is an unbreakable bond because he makes no one feel that he is above their situation and yes he had every right to say NO on the second case but he didn’t. Allen Bloom is very aggressive and he sticks to the facts in the case. When I first met Attorney Bloom I thought “an attorney in blue jeans and t-shirt,” what has my family gotten ourselves into. After you meet him and begin to talk with him you realize that you have made the best choice even before the end of the trial –he keeps you abreast of what’s going on, not sugar coating anything though…he simply keeps it REAL. He never picks you up or sets you up for the big letdown. It’s all explained to you so that you understand daily what is going on. After watching him during the first trial, I realized he’s a beast in the courtroom. He has the ability to make decisions/adjustments during the trial against the prosecutor and I’ve never seen an attorney such as Allen Bloom to face judges in the manner that he does. Attorney Bloom is not afraid – he argues and fights until the end just like it’s his own family member. He is simply amazing to watch how tactful he is in court. I’m praying that my family NEVER needs him in this manner but I would love to be able to watch him in court again. He cares about PEOPLE and how they are treated. It’s amazing to meet someone of his character knowing where he is in the world. No one is too small for him…everybody is somebody and doesn’t matter what your “race” is. You just can’t help but love him not just because of his work but also the person that he is inside. It’s just HIS calling…it never seems to be about the dollar. He’s a part of our family now… just like another BROTHER to me. It’s been several years since he handled these two cases and there was some time-frame in between each but when Allen Bloom is your attorney there is no loss of communication. He stays in touch via email and every now and then you may even be surprised with a phone call. He is unreal but REAL…not many people like him especially outside of your immediate family. Since he handled the cases, my mother transitioned into her heavenly home and my daughter graduated from high school…Attorney Bloom was just like a part of MY family during both situations. All I can say is “TO KNOW HIM, IS TO LOVE HIM.”

Mr. Bloom represented by son in a very high profile case. I received a call from my son stating the incident in which he was involved and did not have a clue what to do. I had never had to deal with anything of this nature before so I was very lost. Fortunately my brother had the knowledge and kne...w how to research the kind of attorney that was needed. When I first contacted Mr. Bloom I was surprised to be able to see him as quickly as I did. He was very "down to earth" and did not make me feel that my son was just another case number. He explained thoroughly what needed to the be done and consequences involved. He told me he would defend my son as though he was his, and that is exactly what he did. He communicated with my son and also explained every detail to him. As the trial progressed, and I was sitting there as he was defending this case I could tell he was not just going through the motion but he actually cared about his client (my son) and wanted only the best for him. It took a while but the end results yielded an acquittal of all charges. I would highly recommend this attorney be solicited. He genuinely cares about his clients and their well being and defends just that hard. He is very thorough and goes above and beyond the call of duty to do his very best for his clients. I thank God for bringing him into our lives; without him my son would have probably been just another statistic.

I hired him in 2005. Had a very bad experience on his mind game. Sweet talk to you first to get you retain and after that 180 degree cold on you. Late on scheduled meetings, left the trial strategies for the investigator -as if your case is too small and would not bring any fame for him, don't prep y...ou before trial, never discussed about the pros and cons, wrote the closing statement while the DA presented her closing, etc. Once he thinks you are guilty, he would not side and help you at all. Very hard to work with. He is not courteous or friendly or treat you equally as he thinks you are criminal period. Don't waste your money in him. He would never be on your side, fight hard enough for your freedom.
