Reviews
I had a recent consult with Mr. Bliven and I must say he is very knowledgeable respectful and helpful. He was able to navigate my case fairly quickly and give advice and direction with ease! He calmed some of my worries that I have been feeling in regards to my case with facts, no pressure to retain but also willing to continue to consult if needed, absolutely amazing!! Recommended 5/5
Thank you, David Bliven, for your insightful and professional consultation. His guidance was clear, helpful, and greatly appreciated during this challenging time. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal expertise!
I reached out to Mr. Bliven and his associates for a a 50 minute consultation and when I say the experience was incredible, I MEAN incredible. Firstly Ms. Ramos who I directly corresponded with to get in contact with Mr. Bliven is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart. Remembered me WEEKS after I initially called to set up the consultation. Compared to what I have been currently dealing with, with a different attorney and their corresponders, it was an absolute breath of fresh air. It felt like for a change, I mattered. And the exact same thing can be said for Mr. Bliven himself. He took the time to read my "brief" (it absolutely was not brief at all) description of my situation, addressed all of the concerns I wrote and ACTUALLY took the time to break down to me all my concerns and answered them effectively. Even went so far as to press me to ask more! Since speaking with him I know for a fact if push comes to shove in my current situation, and shove has to be my option, I know WHO I am coming too. And that is here to Mr. Bliven. No hesitation.
I've been a client of Mr Bliven for well over a year now and I have to say, I've never had any issues. It's been a simple process from start to finish. Bliven and his team are always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I may have and that's hard to come by these days. Highly recommend!
Mr. Bliven was very helpful and insightful when I reached out for a consultation. He walked me through the processes and made sure I ended the call without any other questions. Highly recommend for your go-to marital legal advice!
