Seth J. Bloom, Esq. moved to New Orleans in 2000 to attend Loyola University Law School, drawn by family ties and a sense of purpose. After graduating with his Juris Doctor and serving on the Honor Board, he began his legal career working with criminal defense and personal injury attorneys, as well as in real estate investment—experience that would later shape his own practice.
In 2004, Seth founded Bloom Legal in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Just one year later, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city. Bloom Legal quickly became a trusted legal resource during the recovery, helping residents and small businesses navigate everything from insurance disputes to criminal and other legal matters. That period defined the firm’s mission: to provide responsive, community-rooted legal representation when it’s needed most.
Over the next two decades, Bloom Legal built a reputation for strong advocacy in criminal defense, personal injury, construction law, and other civil litigation. Seth’s dedication to accessible, client-first service earned him the respect of peers and the trust of clients across the region.
Seth has practiced law in New Orleans since 2004 and lived in the city since 2000. His commitment to the community extends far beyond his legal work. He was elected President of the Orleans Parish School Board and has held leadership roles with many civic and cultural organizations, including:
- New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) – Board Member (2012–present)
- Travis Hill School Advisory Board – Board Member (2017–present)
- New Orleans Film Society – Board Member (2012–2017)
- The Pro Bono Project – Volunteer and Fundraiser (2015–2016)
- New Orleans Tricentennial Commission – Board Member (2015–2018)
- Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee – Member (2020–2024)
- Touro Synagogue – Board Member (2025–present)
- Federal Bar Association, New Orleans Chapter – Young Lawyers Division Board Member (2004–2009)
In recent years, Seth stepped back from traditional firm life to explore emerging opportunities in legal technology. That experience opened his eyes to a growing problem: while there’s no shortage of lawyers, clients often struggle to find the right lawyer—someone truly qualified in the area they need help with. In response, Seth is proud to launch Bloom Legal Network in 2025.
This next-generation law firm is built around a network model, connecting clients with experienced, reputable attorneys across a range of practice areas. Whether it’s criminal defense, personal injury, property and insurance law, or other legal matters, Bloom Legal Network ensures every client is matched with the right legal professional for their case.
Rooted in New Orleans and designed for a new era, Bloom Legal Network represents the evolution of Seth Bloom’s vision: high-quality legal advocacy, delivered with integrity, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to community.
