Posted by Phyllis | January 31, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Couldn't have hired a better Law Firm

I had the privilege of working with Jay Free & Beth Bloom of Bloom Law on a wrongful termination case, and I couldn't be more impressed with their level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From the very beginning, they were incredibly thorough, taking the time to listen to my concerns and ...fully understanding the nuances of my case. Their experience in employment law was evident throughout the process. They were in tune with every aspect of the case, providing clear, concise advice at each stage. They communicated with me regularly, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with all developments. It was clear that they not only knew the law inside and out, but they also knew how to apply it strategically to ensure the best outcome. What stood out the most was their commitment to my success. They were aggressive when they needed to be, but also patient and empathetic when the situation called for it. Thanks to their diligent work, we achieved a favorable resolution, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support and expertise. If you find yourself in need of an attorney for a wrongful termination case, I wholeheartedly recommend Bloom Law. Their skill, experience, and understanding of the law made all the difference. They truly went above and beyond to fight for my rights.

Highly Recommended

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 a...ctivity. 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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
