Seemed good

I spoke with him about my case and he seemed knowledgeable about my particular questions. He’s endorsed by a disbarred attorney and this is was troubling for me. Seemed good even though I went with someone else.

Best Attorney...Thank you Sean Blume

I consulted with several attorneys before selecting Sean Blume. I hired Sean to represent me during my divorce. He was very professional, open, honest, and hard working. He was forth right with information and regularly communicated with me to keep me informed. He was very friendly and helped me... through what could have been a very difficult time. I would recommend Sean A Blume to friends, family, and strangers. He really is one of the good attorney's out there. Thank you Sean!

Caring Representation

Sean was an excellent choice to represent me during my divorce. He handled my case with care while advising me of matters in the best interest of me and child. He asked thoughtful questions, explained the laws to me in terms I could understand, and was always honest about situations. I am so thankful... that I had Sean during this process! I recommend him to anyone dealing with family court issues.

Grateful for Information

Preparing for child visitation. Early in the process and want to be proactive for the protection of my great grandson. His mother & I met with Sean for a consultation some time ago and he answered many questions. My grandson, the biological father, is beginning the process of paying child support (hi...s son almost 5) and wanting visitation. The mother & I concerned as child in question does not know his father. I reached out, with mothers permission, to see what she should be doing on her end. Sean asked for any papers mother has received so far, which she e-mailed to him. He said at this point nothing to be done until she is contacted by FOC with either a court date or a temporary visitation order. At that point mother should contact him. He will be there every step of the way to guide in the process. The mother & I both liked him when we met with him and totally appreciated his knowledge and patience when I’m sure both of us asked the same things repeatedly. We both feel her son’s well being in very good hands.

High conflict ex/parenting time issues

Sean wrapped up and made right what was a 3+ year ongoing and exhausting post judgment battle with my ex over parenting time. I was at the end of my rope trying to co-parent with someone who wanted everything done his way and who refused to give an inch. I went through 3 attorneys before I met Sean. ...I tried to explain to each attorney that my ex loves to create conflict and that his attorney was as shady as he was, but they didn't take me seriously. The first rule of battle is to know your opponent and it was only in hindsight that each attorney started to realize that I wasn't exaggerating about my ex, but by that time it was of course too late. I really felt so defeated and exhausted. I had almost given up hope when I met Sean. The first thing I noticed was his compassion for my situation and the fact that he was able to really listen as I explained my case. He recognized the patterns of my ex and he effectively created a strategy to deal with the many distractions created by my ex which he used to deflect attention away from the main issue and to sabotage my efforts. Sean really went the extra mile. He took the time to really understand, then research and analyze my case so that he understood his opponent before forming his strategy. He warned me that it would be a process, that it would take some time, and he prepared me for the fees. He said that he believed he could achieve what needed to happen for the security and well-being of my child, and that we would switch from playing defense to playing offense. I am so happy to say that he came through with everything I needed. More than I thought could happen. The conflict with my ex has gone down to next to nothing and my child is happy, peaceful and secure. I will be forever grateful for what he was able to do for us and I recommend him for anyone engaged in a high conflict situation with an ex who refuses to be flexible or to follow the court's orders.
