The integrity of the legal profession in Florida is maintained by the strict enforcement of the Rules of Professional Conduct. When an attorney fails to comply with court orders or neglects client matters, the Florida Supreme Court intervenes to protect the public. For Miami-based attorney Aram Caldarera Bloom (Bar No. 72465), a series of escalating disciplinary actions has resulted in a significant three-year suspension.
Effective December 4, 2025, the Florida Supreme Court issued an order (Case No. SC2025-1499) holding Bloom in contempt and imposing the multi-year suspension, effective immediately.
The Core Misconduct: Contempt and Non-Compliance
The path to Bloom’s three-year suspension was marked by repeated failures to comply with previous court mandates. According to Florida Bar disciplinary records, the primary cause for the 2025 ruling was contempt of court:
-
Failure to Notify: Bloom failed to submit a required sworn affidavit (under Rule 3-5.1(h)) attesting that he had notified his clients, opposing counsel, and the courts of his previous suspension.
-
Ignored Show Cause Order: The court issued an “Order to Show Cause” in September 2025, demanding an explanation for his non-compliance. Bloom failed to file a response by the October deadline, leading to the contempt ruling.
-
Cumulative Discipline: Because Bloom was already under suspension at the time of the December 4 order, the new three-year penalty was applied immediately rather than being delayed.
A History of Disciplinary Interventions
Aram Caldarera Bloom has been licensed in Florida since 2009, with a career that included roles at several prominent Miami-area firms. However, his disciplinary record over the last decade shows a pattern of increasing severity.
In 2020, he received an Admonishment for minor misconduct related to case management. By 2023, he was issued a 91-Day Suspension for neglecting a client matter and failing to attend hearings, which resulted in $17,000 in sanctions against his client. This was followed by an Additional Suspension in 2024 for continued non-compliance and failure to respond to Bar inquiries. Most recently, the 3-Year Suspension in 2025 was handed down after he was held in contempt for failing to follow the mandatory notice requirements of his prior suspension.
Professional Impact and Reinstatement Terms
A suspension of more than 90 days in Florida is considered a “rehabilitative” suspension. This means that unlike a short-term suspension, Bloom cannot simply return to work once the three years have passed. To resume practicing law, he must:
-
Prove Rehabilitation: Bloom must undergo a rigorous reinstatement process to prove his fitness to practice law again.
-
Compliance with Previous Orders: He must satisfy all terms and conditions of his earlier disciplinary cases before a petition for reinstatement can even be considered.
-
Financial Restitution: He was ordered to pay the Florida Bar $1,250 in administrative costs associated with the contempt proceeding.
Conclusion: Accountability for South Florida Practitioners
The case of Aram Caldarera Bloom serves as a stark reminder that the Florida Supreme Court views the failure to follow disciplinary procedures as a serious offense in its own right. For residents in Miami-Dade County, these actions emphasize the importance of checking an attorney’s current status via the Florida Bar Member Search before engaging their services.
