Starting a New Life

I really want to thank Rick Flume for his assistance and helping me to make a very important decision concerning my finances. He provided so much information and covered all the options which helped me decide on just the right plan that would help me in getting debt relief during such a challenging time in my life. The time when Covid 19 occurred, it impacted me in such a big way and becoming unemployed took me to a very hard place along with many others who were also greatly affected in this time period. His book “Bankruptcy Made Simple to Understand” is an excellent source explaining in depth about bankruptcy options as well. I highly recommend Mr. Flume to anyone facing financial difficulties. He will truly listen to you with his professional ear and help you reach the best outcome for your situation. Thanks again Mr. Flume.

I highly recommend Mr. Flume he makes you feel safe.

Mr. Flume was absolutely exceptional! Easy to talk to, walked the steps and personally called me right away after my trustees meeting, That was very kind of him!! He didn’t have to do that yet he did and that to me meant a lot!! The best customer service I've ever received, especially considering the nature of the call. If someone makes you feel comfortable while filing a BK, well that's beyond great. In addition, Mr. Flume was equally easy to work with. The fees were reasonable. His law firm service is very expedient. He is honest, humble, caring and very helpful! I absolutely recommend Mr. Flume! He will not let you down! Thank you so much Mr. Flume!!!

Chapter 7 bankruptcy

100%

Chapter 7 is the form of bankruptcy where there is no monthly payment to a trustee. (Chapter 13 is the form of bankruptcy where there is a monthly payment to a trustee for 3 to 5 years.)

I'm not a coat-and-tie lawyer, or a tall-office-building lawyer. Instead, I'm relaxed, down-to-earth and good at explaining complex legal matters in ways that everyday people can understand.

Here's why I don't wear the coat and tie: Each time I've had an initial consultation with a client right after I get back from court and I still had on a tie, the client is more nervous and the "atmosphere" feels tense. When I noticed that happening, I would get rid of the coat and tie, and then I noticed that the clients became more relaxed.

My general advice for people with legal problems, especially debt problems, is this: Look at all of your options, including options you don't think you'd like. See where you're going to be with each option five years down the road, then pick the option that's best for you. You want to "rise above the tree-line" to see where each road/option takes you, and if you can't go all the way down a certain road, then why take one step in that direction? Taking a road that's just going to be a dead-end wastes your time and money.

Sometimes, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Meeting with Mr. Flume was such a pleasure, and an all around great experience! I'm sure most attorney's seldom have clients leaving their office feeling that way. Mr. Flume is very informative, very kind, and very patient, as I had many questions, some of which I asked more than once. He took his time explaining in great detail all of the information I needed to have. As it turned out, I did not need to move forward with a bankruptcy. Even after he realized that I did not need to hire him, he continued to give me great information which gave me peace of mind. Mr. Flume is a man of integrity, sincerity, and true kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone, and everyone needing help with their financial issues.

Life after Bankruptcy

Life after Bankruptcy gets easier every day, since our Bankruptcy was discharged a year ago we have found out that we do not need credit cards or even a car payment, we pay for everything with cash, if we do not have the money we save until we have the money and we pay for it with cash. After I was no longer able to work, and we depleted most of are savings in the amount of $20,000.00 dollars paying our bills trying to avoid filing Bankruptcy. When we could not pay our bills because the money ran out we contacted Flume and associates to help us file Bankruptcy. Mr. Flume and his staff were very helphul from the initial consultation through the entire bankruptcy process. We would recommend Flume and Associates to anyone who needs help in filing Bankruptcy.

Highest Integrity

Mr. Flume was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Even though he was not able to handle my specific case, he took the time to explain the bankruptcy process and gave me several referrals to attorneys who would be able to assist. He obviously is a man of integrity and I would highly recommend Mr. Flume.

Informative attorney

I recently had a free consultation with Mr. Flume. I went into the meeting expecting to file for bankruptcy...however Mr. Flume walked me through all the different options and we decided against bankruptcy. He actually wanted to help us make the best choice for US and not for HIM which was refreshing!! Couldn't have asked for a better meeting!!

New beginning

Not that I would recommend bankruptcy, but unfortunately I had no other choice. My experience with Mr. Flume and case manager, Yvonne, was excellent. Everything was professionally handled and filed within a few weeks. It's a relief knowing I get a fresh start because of his office. They cared and made the process as quick and painless as possible.

Professional and Caring Attorney and Staff

Rick and his staff have been amazing through this tough process. Going through financial trouble is mentally draining as it is, and when you come to terms with your options, they can be very tough to swallow. Rick made it a lot easier to deal with. Very caring and understanding. We are extremely grateful and glad we sought out his help.

Initial Visit

After talking to another lawyer I did not feel good about filing bankruptcy, but after talking to Mr Flume I left his office feeling relieved. He explained the whole precedure to me from beginning to end, and he did not judge me about my debt situation. When the time is right I will be retaining his services and I know I will be in good hands.

Mr. Flume exceeded my expectations of what it takes to be an attorney at law. He clearly explained to me; options my spouse and I have on whether to file or not. He really seemed to care about our debt situation and what steps we would need to take to resolve and move forward to financial freedom. My visit to Rick Flume's law firm was peaceful, pleasant, and very professional!
