Honest Attorney? Definitely! Mr. Blum was recommended, by another lawyer, as an attorney in my area. He was clear in explaining my options and costs for my divorce. His response/​follow through times in dealing with me and my ex’s attorney were quick and efficient.

A trusted friend highly recommended Blum, and I was not disappointed. I was immediately impressed by the clarity with which he remembered my friend’s case even after nearly two decades had passed. While my situation was quite stressful for me, Blum’s expert legal assistance was a reassuring and calming force. He explained things clearly and plainly. He did things in a quick and timely manner, but exercised great patience when required. Most of all, I liked that he was very fair and ethical.

Jeff has been my attorney for over six years. He’s been a steady and steadying presence for the entire time, handling my divorce with reasonability and great attention to detail, and always making sure that the case was conducted with solid backing from the law. There’s been a lot of crap during my divorce; it’s come off so well because of Jeff’s capable support.

Jeff turned a bad situation where:
1) my ex-​wife left me,
2) she took my 4 year-​old child without informing me of his location,
3) she took up residence with another man,
4) she claimed full custody of my son because of Japanese law even though she was an American Citizen and lived in the U.S. for the last five years,
5) she demanded significant support payments for many years for once a month contact with my son,
5) she threaten to take him to Japan, whenever she personally judged any perceived lack of cooperation or support.
The results with Jeff Blum after 1 year of litigation and $ 42K are, as follows:
1) my son’s passports were held by the court after 1 month.
2) supervised visitation with my son was established after 2 months,
3) American legal jurisdiction was established after 3 months (ruling from the bench),
3) we ramped up to 50⁄50 Joint custody of my son after 6 months,
4) a hard-​nosed, but fair settlement was entered after approximately a year.
Jeff has an excellent knowledge of law and the whole process of determination of child custody in San Mateo County. He was a calm and cool, but hard-​nosed presence in the courtroom, and his settlement seems to be rather bullet-​proof. If you want to use the court as a means of retribution, histrionics or mutual game playing with your spouse, Jeff would not be a good fit for you. Jeff is also a bit expensive, but he does things right the first time and he even allowed me to the majority of research on my time to save costs. However, if you are trying to get a fair shake from your spouse, and need to deal with her/​his questionable tactics, Jeff reversed a pretty terrible position with my son and ex-​wife and got me to joint custody of my son and a fair settlement at a pretty good pace. The end result was equitable, the cost was somewhat high, but that’s divorce, folks. From my own personal experience, I would highly recommend Jeff for family law in Sam Mateo County of California.
