Peyton Bray, who suffered from bipolar disorder, later killed himself, and Bloom subsequently took her mother's maiden name. When Bloom was seven, her mother married William C. Allred.{{cite web |title=Sparks Fly in Allred vs. Allred |url = https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-26-me-2875-story.html |first = Scott |last = Harris |work = Los Angeles Times |date = February 26, 1992 |access-date = June 2, 2017 }}

Bloom received a bachelor's degree from UCLA, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and was National College Debate Champion.

After graduating from law school, Bloom began her career in New York and by 1991 worked at her mother's law firm, Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, assisting in unsuccessfully suing the Boy Scouts of America for sex discrimination on behalf of Katrina Yeaw, a girl who wanted to join the organization.{{cite news |last = Bloom |first = Lisa |title = Aligning Equal Pay With The Power Of The Internet |url = https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbeswomanfiles/2012/06/27/aligning-equal-pay-with-the-power-of-the-internet/#39a7a3f14033 |access-date = October 24, 2017|work = Forbes|date = June 27, 2012 }} While at her mother’s firm, Bloom also filed a child sexual abuse suit against the Roman Catholic Church and sued the LAPD.{{cite news |last = Rudolph |first = Heather |title = "Nasty, Ugly, Gendered, Vile Threats" Won't Keep Lisa Bloom From Doing Her Job |url = http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a10241594/lisa-bloom-sexual-harassment-assault-cases/ |access-date = October 24, 2017 |work = Cosmopolitan |date = July 3, 2017}}

In 2001, Bloom left her mother's firm, having developed a career in cable news punditry, eventually serving as a legal analyst on CBS News, CNN, HLN, and MSNBC, and appearing on The Early Show, The Insider, Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, The Situation Room, Reliable Sources, The Joy Behar Show, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell, and The Stephanie Miller Show.{{cite web |title = Tuesday, April 11, 2017 |url = https://www.stephaniemiller.com/tuesday-april-11-2017/ | access-date = November 30, 2017 |work = The Stephanie Miller Show |date = April 11, 2017 }} Bloom returned to practicing law in 2010 when she founded the Bloom Firm, a small, general-practice law firm that handles family, civil and criminal matters.

{{main|Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases|Roy Price#Sexual harassment allegations}}

Bloom received significant media attention after film producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct in October 2017. While noting that Weinstein "denies many of the accusations as patently false," Bloom acknowledged advising Weinstein on power dynamics and harassment, calling him "an old dinosaur learning new ways."{{cite news |last1=Kantor |first1 = Jodi |last2 = Twohey |first2 = Megan |url = https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html |title = Decades of Sexual Harassment Accusations Against Harvey Weinstein |work = The New York Times |date = October 5, 2017 |access-date = October 5, 2017 }} Bloom's advisory role, which she assumed in late 2016, was pilloried for its dissonance with her prior representation of sexual assault victims, with some in the media calling her book adaptation deal with The Weinstein Company, signed during Weinstein's tenure as co-chairman, a conflict of interest.{{cite web |last = Deerwester |first = Jayme |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/10/07/harvey-weinstein-scandal-lisa-bloom-resigns-advisor/742784001/ |title = Harvey Weinstein scandal: Lisa Bloom resigns as advisor |work = USA Today |date = October 7, 2017 |access-date = October 7, 2017}}{{cite news |last = Rutenberg |first=Jim |url = https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/06/business/media/harvey-weinsteins-media-enablers.html |title = Harvey Weinstein's Media Enablers |work = The New York Times |date = October 6, 2017 |access-date = October 7, 2017}}

On October 7, 2017, two days after the initial article on sexual misconduct in The New York Times, Bloom stepped down from her advisory role amid mounting public criticism and friction with The Weinstein Company's board. According to emails obtained by The New York Times, Bloom had weighed responding to allegations against Weinstein with "photos of several of the accusers in very friendly poses with Harvey after his alleged misconduct."{{cite news |last1 = Twohey |first1 = Megan |last2 = Barr |first2 = Johanna |url = https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/07/business/lisa-bloom-weinstein-attorney.html |title = Lisa Bloom, Lawyer Advising Harvey Weinstein, Resigns Amid Criticism From Board Members |work = The New York Times |date = October 7, 2017 |access-date = October 7, 2017}} Bloom denied plotting to undermine the accusers.{{Cite tweet |user = LisaBloom |author-link = Lisa Bloom |number = 916883718140252160 |date = October 8, 2017 |title = Unbelievably false. Just shockingly so.}} The Daily Beast later reported that Bloom had offered journalist Ronan Farrow opposition research on one of Weinstein's accusers, Rose McGowan, during his own reporting on Weinstein. In Farrow's 2019 book, he further claims that Bloom would report any information gleaned about his investigation back to Weinstein, and that she admitted to being "his people".{{Cite magazine | last = Guthrie | first = Marisa | title = Beyond Matt Lauer: 5 Surprising Revelations in Ronan Farrow's Book 'Catch and Kill' | url = https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/five-revelations-ronan-farrow-s-book-catch-kill-1246308 | magazine = The Hollywood Reporter | date = October 9, 2019 | access-date = October 9, 2019}} A 2019 book by reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey contains a 2016 memo from Bloom, as well as 2017 billing statements for services rendered on Weinstein's behalf.

Shortly after resigning from Weinstein's team, Bloom fell victim to "email prankster" James Linton masquerading as Weinstein.

Following a controversial 2017 photo shoot in which comedienne Kathy Griffin clenched a severed and bloodied mask that resembled the face of President Donald Trump, Bloom held a joint press conference with Griffin, then her client, to address the controversy.{{Cite web|title = Kathy Griffin Attorney Lisa Bloom: Kathy is a Victim of 'Bullying' |date = June 2, 2017 |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ou109hg6WE |access-date = July 10, 2017 |work = The PolitiStick |publisher = YouTube }} Their appearance was widely panned in the media for its self-victimization and lack of focus.{{cite news |last = Deerwester |first = Jayme |title = Kathy Griffin vs. Donald Trump: Did her press conference help or hurt? |url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/06/02/kathy-griffin-and-lisa-bloom-say-trrump-feud-is-not-a-fair-fight/102426450/ |access-date = October 24, 2017|work = USA Today |date = June 2, 2017}}{{cite news |last = Grove |first = Lloyd |title = Kathy Griffin Dishes on Her Feud With 'Fame Whore' Lawyer Lisa Bloom—and Bloom Returns Fire |url = https://www.thedailybeast.com/i-got-bloomed-kathy-griffin-dishes-on-her-feud-with-fame-whore-lawyer-lisa-bloomand-bloom-returns-fire | access-date = October 25, 2017 |work = The Daily Beast |date = October 22, 2017 }}

Amid fallout over Bloom's role advising Harvey Weinstein, Griffin posted a Facebook video denouncing Bloom and her husband, Braden Pollock, for "exacerbat[ing] my personal situation". Griffin later publicly asked Bloom to stop calling her and denounced Bloom for "fame-whoring," a criticism of Bloom's proposal for a joint media tour following their joint press conference. According to Griffin, Bloom also charged exorbitant legal fees, which Griffin estimated were $40,000 for two days' representation, including by defense attorney Dmitry Gorin, whom Bloom allegedly hired without Griffin's consent. In response to Griffin's comments, Bloom claimed she "had no idea there was a problem" and released a statement criticizing Griffin for speaking extemporaneously at their press conference. Bloom nevertheless wished Griffin well.{{Cite tweet |user = LisaBloom |author-link = Lisa Bloom |number=922186437620928512|date=22 October 2017 |title=My statement re Kathy Griffin.}}

Following Griffin's own comments on Bloom, Tamara Holder, a former Bloom client, and Jehmu Greene, who had considered hiring Bloom, came forward with their own criticisms. Holder had retained Bloom after accusing Fox News Latino Vice President Francisco Cortes of sexual assault. According to Holder, Bloom proposed an initial retainer agreement granting herself 40% of any settlement, as well as a $10,000 retainer fee and reimbursement for any relevant hotel and travel expenses. Although Holder ultimately negotiated a more favorable contract, she criticized Bloom for charging thousands of dollars in extraneous fees, as well as pushing Holder to accept a gag order in her settlement with Fox News. For her part, Greene called Bloom "deceptive" for presenting her with a contract for media representation after a meeting focused primarily on legal services. Bloom responded to both allegations by claiming that "the vast majority of [the Bloom Firm's] clients are delighted with our work".

In October 2014, Carol Swanson Chitwood (n/k/a Carol Swanson Smith) retained Lisa Bloom and the Bloom Firm to pursue domestic violence claims against her then-husband, Martin Chitwood, a prominent Atlanta attorney, who had sued her for divorce in Atlanta two months earlier. While the divorce was still pending, Bloom filed suit against Martin Chitwood in California asserting domestic violence claims on Carol Chitwood's behalf. Martin Chitwood denied the allegations, claiming they were a tactic to prevent the enforcement of the parties' prenuptial agreement and force a settlement.

Martin Chitwood refused to settle, and on August 31, 2017, after a five-week civil trial, a twelve-person jury found him not liable for the claim Bloom brought against him. Bloom did not appeal.{{cite news|first1=Jonathan|last1=Ringel|title=Jury Rejects Claims That Atlanta Lawyer Abused His Wife|url=https://www.law.com/dailyreportonline/sites/dailyreportonline/2017/11/17/jury-rejects-claims-that-atlanta-lawyer-abused-his-wife/?slreturn=20180015180742|access-date=15 January 2018|work=Daily Report|date=17 November 2017}}
