Tammara S. Bloom, Attorney

I find that every family law case is unique. I have 12 years of experience as a family lawyer and have handled a large range of cases from fully mediated or collaborative cases between parties committed to never entering the court room, to cases that proceed to full blown trials with expert witnesses in a host of specialties. I have worked both as a judge pro tem in our Santa Clara County Courts, and have served as a court appointed attorney for children in highly contentious custody cases.

I enjoy working to reach a settlement of all issues, but am willing to step into court quickly and efficiently if the parties cannot reach an agreement. I have worked with many experts that my clients have employed to provide a range of specialty services such as custody evaluation, business, financial and property valuations, diagnostic services for the special needs child, therapists, supervised visitation providers, etc. I have a special needs child myself and have understanding and experience in dealing with the very special needs of these children and the affects of separating parents upon them.

Because of the issues that arise in family law, many of my clients need to return to revise custody and visitation or support orders over the years. I have found that my clients enjoy my style of providing a caring thoughtful, yet aggressive approach to their cases and they return time and time again when they have reached an impasse or need help with their case.

My clients (men, women, and children) who have struggled free from the grasps of domestic violence are the clients who often are the most thankful. My client's health and safety (emotionally, mentally, and physically) are of the utmost concern to me and I take every measure necessary to obtain protective orders and guide them to the resources that can help them break free of the cycle.

I enjoy the practice of family law because I see myself as a facilitator, helping clients' through one of the most difficult times in their lives with support and understanding of the complicated legal system.
