Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Bloom is a seasoned litigation attorney with over 12 years of experience and a deep background in complex commercial litigation, including commercial loan workouts, bankruptcies, lender liability defense, and negotiable instruments. Currently serving as Senior Assistant Corporation Counsel for Oakland County, Michigan, he combines public-sector insight with prior roles representing banks and clients in high-stakes jury trials and personal injury matters. His career spans in-house banking counsel, private practice partnership, and legal aid work, reflecting versatility across transactional, regulatory, and courtroom settings. Unusually for a trial lawyer, he has hands-on technical experience contributing to an open-source MockServer project—helping improve CI/CD, proxy features, and logging—demonstrating a pragmatic fluency with engineering and DevOps concerns. Trained at Michigan State University College of Law and also certified in clinical hypnotherapy, he brings both rigorous legal analysis and an atypical interest in client-focused behavioral techniques to conflict resolution.
