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 (his 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.

I scheduled a consultation meeting with Mr. Blume to discuss the possibility of filing for divorce/custody. He forgot we had a meeting and then was very unorganized and rushed. He basically discussed his retainer and did not enlighten me whatsoever to the process and asked if I wanted to pay the retainer in full that day. After some research I see he filed for business bankruptcy in 2017. I wouldn't trust a man who can't keep his business affairs in order with my lawnmower, much less something as paramount as divorce/custody/parenting time. You've been warned.

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.

I was referred to Mr. Blume through a family member who is an attorney. There are several things he did that I found to be very good. These included: *Thorough questioning of me and all parties involved in my case. *Willing to ask the tough questions when required. *Answering texts, emails, phone calls in a timely manner *Sending all related paper work to me either through email or mail. *Being up front and honest with me as it related to my particular circumstances. *Coming up with options I had not thought of. *Aggressively going after facts and documentation as it related to my case. *Listening to my concerns and ideas. *Being up front and honest when he indicated he needed to consult with a more knowledgeable person on a paritcular aspect of my case. I would have given Mr. Blume an excellent rating but there were a few times when his secretarial staff did not follow through.

My wife and I were told over and over by several lawyers that what we wanted was not possible, that it was a waste of time, it would be to expensive. Sean went against the odds to make it happen for us, worked with us like a friend always was available for questions and answers and worked with us and our financial needs. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance and will forever use Sean for any of my legal matters.

Sean Blume is an excellent choice for your legal representation. He and I worked together during my divorce case. Sean was the THIRD and FINAL lawyer I hired. The first two seemed to tread water and keep their meter running - but as soon as Sean Blume was retained, my case progressed quickly and smoothly. He is intelligent, understanding, knowledgeable, diplomatic and most of all, eager to fight for what is right. I was especially thankful for his experience with representing children's interests. The custody portion of our settlement was the most difficult to negotiate. Thus, I felt confident and comfortable that Sean would have the experience and finesse to navigate us through successfully.
