Beth assisted me in some important legal matters and I found her character, professionalism and skill to be top notch. Despite a busy schedule, Beth (unlike too many lawyers from my experience) consistently promptly returned my calls, my emails (sometimes within minutes) and always kept me upto date. The results that I received with Beth’s assistance were much better than I felt I could reasonably hope for and the opposing party even noted her for her professionalism. It was a pleasure to work with Beth and I highly recommend her work and her office, FrankFreed.
Beth Bloom skillfully guided me through a legal issue demonstrating expertise, dedication and integrity every step of the way. She was an excellent listener and communicator, and followed through on every commitment that she made. She was very responsive to calls/emails, keeping me apprised of all activity. One thing that I especially appreciated about Beth, was that instead of being focused solely on my case, she showed thoughtfulness and concern regarding how the case was affecting/would affect other aspects of my life. Also, near the end of my case Beth really went the “extra mile”, demonstrating the utmost patience and integrity, which resulted in the best possible outcome for me. I would highly recommend this very competent and ethical attorney.

The best attorney to have on your side
My relationship with Beth Bloom started in the way that probably most attorney-client relationships start. With a distress call. From that first conversation, she listened intently and I discovered her incredible ability to absorb, process and retain information - and translate that information into strategy. She's also smart enough to see opportunities and potential pitfalls that enable her to shift strategy when needed. All this really means that she's a damn good attorney, an incredibly smart woman, and not least, a human being committed to serving the underdog and "doing the right thing." She could have taken her talents to a practice of law that would be far more lucrative than helping people who by the very nature of their issue (employment) have no money. But that's not Beth. She's truly one-of-a-kind and the best attorney to have on your side. My first distress call led to a partnership that won me justice, and brought me a hero for life.

The right attorney for the right case
I used Beth to represent me in an employment discrimination case. The case was unusual, complicated, and drawn out. I could not have asked for a better attorney to get me through it. Beth was on top of every development, and I never had to ask about the progression of the matter. Beth got me the best possible outcome and kept my expectations realistic during the process.
When you are harassed and discriminated against in your workplace, it is easy to get caught up in the emotional aspects and lose your focus on the things that will help you eventually resolve the issues. Beth is an excellent advocate and kept me grounded in reality until she was able to get my case resolved. If you have a problem with your employer, she is the one you want on your side.

Beth Bloom Employment Related Issues
Beth Bloom helped me with a very traumatic issue in my workplace. We worked together over a period of 4 months to find a resolution. Beth was very patient and attentive and uncannily accurate in her assessment of the situation. I'm completely satisfied with the outcome and very pleased to have found an attorney that I could completely trust.

layoff / Laudermill
I got as good an outcome as could be hoped for and far better than my union was striving for. She wisely stayed in the background, acting as coach rather than advocate. This preserved my leverage without running up costs - making her presense evident and thereby intimidating the employer. She was recommended by a friend/atty who had worked across the table from her.

Great job
Beth was a great person to have on my team. With her her help I was able to get a much better outcome than what I was told by my employeer. She also did a great job on helping me be realistic about what my options really were (very few). But she was able to take those few choices and turn it into a better result for me that what I could have gotten by myself. In addition she was very pleasent to work with.

Exceptional Professional
I worked with Beth for over 6 months. She was extremely knowledgable and kept me informed every step of the way. She was supportive, down to earth and very helpful as we planned. She provided clear information, kept every commitment, was very easy to reach and work with. She expertly addressed every development to insure the best possible outcome. She is a true advocate for her clients and doing what's right. She was recommended to me by another very satisfied client. I have sense recommended her to others and will cointinue to do so. She is definately one of 'the good guys'.

True partner and advocate
Engaging in legal action is not a comfortable or generally positive experience, but Beth made the journey a successful one by constantly keeping me informed, serving as a trusted guide and advocate, and working tirelessly on my behalf.
She was a consummate professional and I encourage anyone looking for legal representation to consider her services. She helps makes terrible situations empowering ones.

RESPONSE FROM THE LAWYER
Ms. Bloom, was very nice about responding to my email. She was not able to help me for her expertise was not here from my understanding. So I really can't rate on the Consultation or provided services because they don't exist...

Not Good
A lot of unfufilled expectations and fees that were not discussed. Plus she lost !
She's the type of lawyer who gives a bad name to the profession and I would use ANY other lawyer before her.
Response from Beth BloomJanuary 29, 2019
Facing an unexpected job loss is, for many people, one of the most significant traumas of their lives. While I don't know who left this comment and I do not agree with the accuracy of this statement, I can certainly relate to the feeling of disappointment expressed in this review. No lawyer can or should promise a desired outcome, but having a trusted ally can be an important part of the healing process. It is unfortunate that this individual did not feel that he or she was able to get that from me and our firm as I always strive to make my clients feel heard and supported. I encourage this individual to contact me for resolution.
