The families of 4 special needs children involved in a series of school abuse cases say high-profile attorney Lisa Bloom is preventing them from resolving the lawsuits by falsely claiming they agreed to give her firm a cut of any settlement money.
“I was appalled to learn about her conduct and aggressive tactics,” a parent identified in court papers as Ron V., whose autistic daughter was allegedly physically assaulted by a Vacaville Unified School District bus driver, said in a declaration. “She was the opposite of what I thought abuse victims’ advocates should be and although I did not want her associated with my daughter’s case, I remained silent.
According to declarations from the families, Liberty said that Braden Pollock, Bloom’s husband and the firm’s business manager, told her in March that “they had a bad first quarter and with that and COVID, they could not afford to continue with their co-counsel relationship.”“We adamantly disagree with Liberty Law’s position as to the reasons The Bloom Firm had to end the relationship,” the firm said.
