Many people find that working with a skilled and experienced lawyer can make a genuine difference in their perspective of the divorce process. An attorney can reduce your fears and uncertainty, and can demystify the process by listening and responding intelligently to concerns, as well as to “ask the right questions.” We can help you in matters where timing is crucial by giving proactive advice to prevent problems from arising. We can advise you on reasonable spousal and child support. We can help you work harmoniously with your spouse towards an amicable divorce, and in cases where negotiation is impossible, Mr. Bloom believes that powerful negotiation skills make the difference in matters of divorce. We believe in negotiating from strength to obtain the best possible results for each client.
