A Miami-based litigation attorney’s career has unraveled through a series of escalating disciplinary actions — from client neglect and missed deadlines to outright contempt of court — spanning more than two years.
Aram Caldarera Bloom is a Florida-licensed litigation attorney who graduated from Boston University School of Law in 2003 and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2009. He maintained a practice address at 10800 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 600, Miami, and was previously based in West Palm Beach. Beginning in 2023, a series of professional failures brought him to the repeated attention of The Florida Bar and the Florida Supreme Court. His disciplinary records are accessible through the Florida Bar’s online attorney search. His attorney profile is also listed on Justia.
First Disciplinary Action: 91-Day Suspension (July 2023)
The first formal disciplinary proceeding against Bloom concluded on July 27, 2023, when the Florida Supreme Court suspended him for 91 days. The case — The Florida Bar v. Aram Caldarera Bloom SC2023-0139 — arose from his representation of a client in a civil lawsuit against homeowners for unpaid services. Full original reporting is available at ALABnews (2023).
According to the Referee’s Report filed on July 12, 2023, Bloom’s representation initially appeared adequate, but his performance deteriorated significantly over time. He missed critical deadlines, failed to maintain adequate communication with his client, and neglected core aspects of the case. When the homeowners filed a counterclaim, Bloom failed to respond appropriately. He submitted a late affidavit and failed to inform his client of court orders, resulting in his client being ordered to pay $17,000 in sanctions.
“Ultimately, Mr. Chartrand was ordered to pay $17,000.00 in sanctions for failure to comply with the August 2019 Order.”— Florida Supreme Court Referee’s Report, July 12, 2023 (Case No. SC2023-0139)
Bloom submitted a Conditional Guilty Plea for Consent Judgment, approved by both Bloom and Bar Counsel. The Supreme Court approved the uncontested referee report and ordered the 91-day suspension, effective 30 days from the order, along with payment of $1,250.00 in costs. Rules violated: 4-1.1 (Competence), 4-1.3 (Diligence), 4-1.4 (Communication), 4-1.16 (Terminating Representation), and 4-3.2 (Expediting Litigation). See the rules section below for full explanations.
Second Action: Contempt Petition and One-Year Suspension (2023-2024)
On November 13, 2023, The Florida Bar filed a petition for contempt — case number 2024-90,014(OSC) — alleging Bloom had failed to comply with a requirement of his prior suspension order. Original reporting: ALABnews — First Contempt Petition (2023).
Under Rule 3-5.1(h) of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, suspended attorneys must notify their clients, opposing counsel, tribunals, and all bars of their suspension, then provide the Bar with a sworn affidavit listing all parties notified — within 30 days of the suspension taking effect. The Florida Bar notified Bloom of his noncompliance on August 29, 2023. He failed to act.
The petition requested that Bloom be held in contempt, suspended for one year, and required to comply with all prior court order terms before petitioning for reinstatement. That one-year suspension became effective January 30, 2024.
Third Action: Three-Year Suspension (December 2025)
Even after the one-year suspension in January 2024, Bloom once again failed to meet his notification obligations under Rule 3-5.1(h). The Florida Bar notified Bloom of his requirements on January 31, 2024 — via both mail and email — yet he again failed to submit the required sworn affidavit.
On September 25, 2025, The Florida Bar filed a second contempt petition — SC2025-1499 / 2026-90,006(OSC). The Bar argued Bloom’s repeated noncompliance undermined the integrity of the disciplinary process. In addition to the three-year suspension, the Bar sought $1,250.00 in administrative costs. Full coverage: ALABnews — Second Contempt Petition (2025).
On December 4, 2025, the Florida Supreme Court granted the petition, holding Bloom in contempt and imposing an immediate three-year suspension. This was confirmed in The Florida Bar’s official January 1, 2026 Disciplinary Actions report. Additional reporting: Florida Politics and Marco News.
About Florida’s Attorney Disciplinary System
The Florida Bar, in coordination with the Florida Supreme Court and the Bar’s Division of Lawyer Regulation, administers a statewide system governing the professional conduct of more than 115,000 Bar members. The process begins when the Attorney Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP) receives a written complaint from clients, lawyers, judges, or others.
Disciplinary actions range from private admonishments and public reprimands to suspension and disbarment. Suspensions of 91 days or more trigger the full reinstatement process. Key case files are public record and posted to individual attorney profiles on the Florida Bar website. Additionally, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida has issued its own suspension order against Bloom, reflecting reciprocal federal discipline procedures.
