Review

Steven Bloom is a great attorney and successfully defended me in my case. Answered all my questions in a timely manner as well.

I managed to get myself in a bit of hot water with the OC justice system concerning a DUI. After calling and meeting with a myriad of attorneys Steve offered me the best rate AND the best results. Suffice to say it, I was apprehensive that he would be able to not only reduce the standard sentence bu...t save me a few dollars but that's exactly what happened! Furthermore, nearly 2 years later a warrant for my arrest was issued in my name due to a minor billing error. Worried of violating my parole and being sent to jail (as some attorneys I consulted with said may happen) I hired Steve who told me it would be completely settled the following day. Just as before, like magic, the issue was resolved and the case was closed. If you're anything like myself and spent countless hours researching you've stumbled upon the gold mine. I would highly recommend Steven Bloom who has proven to be upfront, never condescending, and does his best to stick to his word. Plus comparatively as I've mentioned his rates aren't bad either! Don't take this joke of a legal system lightly, hire a good attorney like Steve whom I now owe my freedom and peace of mind to.

Excellent Attorney , I would him hire again!

Mr Steven Bloom provided a great consultation and went over every aspect in detail about the current options we had available about my case. He worked with me every step of the way and kept in close contact with me to provide updated information. I certainly got the representation i was looking for ...and I would most definitely hire Mr. Bloom again!

Fullerton Assault with a Deadly Weapon case

My son and his friend were both arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after getting into a fight outside a bar in Fullerton. One of the guys they fought with had very severe injuries. We were referred to Attorney Steven Bloom by a friend. We met with him the very next day after we posted bail.... Steve began working immediately collecting witness names and contact information. He went down to the scene personally and found cameras that could have captured what happened. He obtained the film footage, got statements from witnesses and met with the dectective on the case. Attorney Bloom gave the detective our side of the story, not just what the other guy wanted them to know. Then Steve met with the DA assigned to determine whether charges were to be filed. Attorney Bloom was able to show the DA that the other guy really started the fight and that just because he lost the fight, he was not an innocent victim. Steve convinced the DA not to file any charges against both my son and his friend! I know that without his help, the outcome of my son's case would have been VERY different.

Diligent, Expedient Knowledgeable

Steve went to bat for me on two occassions. His experience within the process and having the respect of his peers in the court room and law enforcement showed in the handling of my case. It minimized any major delays and also set realistic expectations. I would highly recommend his services. Solid as... an oak.

"When I first started practicing law, I was lucky enough to land a job at the same defense firm as Steve. I shadowed him in court to learn the ropes and was immediately impressed by his knowledge of the law. Even more impressive, however, was how he seemed to be everyone’s best friend. From other lawyers to the judge, to court personnel, everyone was always happy to see Steve. This ability to connect with people is extremely rare; particularly in the legal profession. I have witnessed Steve work miracles for his clients time and again, and have had the good fortune of working with him on a number of cases. Whenever I need advice or a second opinion on a case, my first call is always to Steve. If you need an attorney in Orange County, stop looking and do what I would do if I ever found myself on the wrong side of the law…call Steve."

"I have known Steve for many years. We worked together at a criminal defense firm before we both started are own firms. I personally witnesses Steve try two serious sex cases with multiple counts. I was very familiar with the facts as I consulted with him on one case and the other I referred to him. Steve got NOT GUILTY verdicts in both cases along with some hung counts that were dismissed. It was my professional opinion having practiced for almost 20 years that the evidence was overwhelmingly against Steve's clients- BUT HE STILL WON! Steve knows when to be aggressive and when to be amicable when litigating a case. He is well liked and respected by the Judges, the district attorneys and fellow attorneys throughout the county. If I got in trouble I would hire Steve!"
