Excellent advocate

Justine represented me as a de facto parent in a juvenile dependency matter. She was a very responsive attorney and excellent advocate for me and the child, and her advocacy resulted in a positive outcome for my family. Thank you, Justine!

Amazing!

Justine handled my messy child support case with expertise and precision. She was organized, swift in response and also had excellent command over the content when we went to court. I highly recommend her and would return to her firm if needed.

Couldn't Recommend More!

Justine and the Bloom Family Law team made my divorce process incredibly smooth. Justine was always there to guide me, taking the time to explain every step and ensuring I felt supported throughout. She is thorough, responsive, and quick to answer any questions I had. I felt completely at ease knowin...g she was the attorney on my side. Thank you, Justine and the entire team!

Prompt, professional, compassionate... and the list goes on!

At the start of my case, I self-represented, however, I quickly realized it was imperative that I found an attorney to represent my case after facing detrimental tactics from opposing counsel. I vented my experiences of searching for legal counsel to a friend and how the process caused extreme deplet...ion. My friend then shared contact information to a law firm that she felt was responsive, ethical, and compassionate. Upon calling the law firm, I was promptly matched with Justine… and for that I am grateful! It was imperative that I found someone I could connect with and trusted as DVRO matters are vulnerable, terrifying, and traumatic. It was not my first consultation with an attorney; however, it was the first time that I felt well supported. It was instantly evident that Justine was well-informed with the law, communicative, and empathetic towards my case. Unfortunately, the unethical tactics by opposing counsel continued during the entire year long case. If you were to ask Justine, she would likely state that I managed to maintain resiliency and reasonable efforts throughout the legal matter. The truth being that my ability to remain resilient and reasonable was the result of working together as a team. The support that I received from Justine allowed me to maintain my true self and to push forward with my case and my healing. I sincerely appreciate and admire Justine’s level of consistency. She was always prompt with responses, professional, ethical no matter what opposing counsel flung at us, and truly stayed by my side every step of the way. I highly recommend Justine for cases involving family law.

Compassionate and Thorough

Justine helped me during a child custody case that was not going well. I received her services right at the beginning of the pandemic which I thought would be even more complex, however she made it simple! She made the whole process easy because of her solid understanding of family law. She took the ...stress off of me when I was working part time as a full time student and raising three kids on my own. She was always available for any questions I had no matter how small, and explained things to me in ways that I can understand. I could be myself without fear of judgement in each interaction with her because I felt she really understood my circumstances. Justine was always one step ahead with my case even when the other party was active. I would enthusiastically recommend Justine if you want a compassionate and thorough lawyer by your side!
