WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

I am so grateful to Todd Bloomfield for the outstanding job he did on my case. Everyone at Rice & Bloomfield was very attentive to my case and they got me a great result.

-Margaret M.

After speaking with a couple of lawyers I was most comfortable with Todd Bloomfield. He took the time to talk to me about my case and clearly knew what he was doing. Mr. Bloomfield made sure I got a rental car quickly and that my car was repaired. He handled my case quickly and got me more money than I was expecting. I am grateful for your help.

-David T.

After being T-boned at an intersection I thought I could handle my claim myself. After a few months it was clear the insurance company was screwing around with me. I made some mistakes along the way but Mr. Bloomfield was able to fix it and get my case resolved. I wish I had called Rice & Bloomfield from the beginning.

-Leslie A.

After speaking to a number of attorneys I was grateful that Linda treated my like a person. It took me a while to recover from my injuries and it really upset my life. I thought I would never get back on track. I probably wouldn’t have without Linda’s help making sure I was seeing the right doctors and that I got the medical treatment that got me better. Her hard work and dedication are the best.

-Scott B.

My mother had dementia and needed to be in an assisted care facility to get the care she needed.It didn’t have enough nurses to take care of her and all the other patients. Mom ended up with horrible bed sores that wouldn’t heal. She insisted on meeting Mom and visited her a couple of times during the lawsuit she filed for us, which meant a lot to me.

-Liz J.

Ms. Rice put me at ease by explaining what my rights were and how she could help. She guided me through the whole process and settled my case for more than I expected

-Sheri C.

When the other side wouldn’t settle my case against a doctor who did an unnecessary surgery that left me with a permanent limp, Linda took it to trial. She was a rock star in the court room. I’ll always be grateful that she believed in me and my case. And, we got a great verdict!

-Suzi S.

I worked with both Todd and Linda during my lawsuit against a driver who plowed into me while I was crossing the street. They were great. Linda helped me answer the questions the other side sent so they would understand how they had changed my life. Todd negotiated a terrific settlement for me. I would recommend Rice & Bloomfield to anyone in my situation.

-Tom R.

HOW WE GO ABOVE & BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY

Our job is helping people through potentially life-altering legal matters — a responsibility we take very seriously. That’s why, no matter how many years of experience we collect, we continuously strive to become even better at what we do.

EFFECTIVE TRIAL STRATEGIES

We are committed to the study and practice of trial advocacy — that is, researching what works and what doesn’t work when appealing to judges and juries.

Even though our clients typically want to avoid going to court, we make a point of keeping up with this extremely useful legal skill. After all, knowing how to effectively paint a picture for the opposing side comes in handy both in and out of the courtroom.

ATTORNEY REFERRALS

In and around Los Angeles, we have a strong reputation throughout the legal community. We are honored to say that as a result, other attorneys often refer clients to us. Each time it happens, we are further inspired to put 110% into our work.

VERSATILE LEGAL EXPERIENCE

Personal injury is undoubtedly the core of our practice, but over the years we’ve discovered that our individual interests can benefit the members of our community as well. For instance, Linda has always been adamant about eliminating discrimination and violations of civil rights, and so she practices employment law.

Todd, meanwhile, is a big supporter of local businesses, which is why he works with business owners to protect their licenses when they find themselves facing administrative accusations.
