Answers to Common Questions
These FAQs are designed to help you understand the process before you submit the form at the end of this page.
Once I hire you, how will I communicate my information to the attorney?
The Law Offices of Debi Rumph uses a structured process to collect the information needed to evaluate your situation and communicate it clearly to the attorney.
1. Intake interview: After you hire the firm, you receive a link to an intake interview. This helps you provide the details of your case in one organized place.
2. Document submission: After the intake interview, the firm may request documents related to your situation. This can include your lease, notices, emails, text messages, photos, payment records, or court papers.
3. Review and clarification: If the attorney needs more information after reviewing your answers or documents, the team may contact you for clarification.
4. Strategy session: Depending on the service selected, you may have a strategy session with the attorney to discuss your situation and identify possible next steps.
The goal is to keep communication organized, reduce confusion, and give the attorney the information needed to review your situation.
I do not have the ability to complete the interview online. Do you have an alternative?
Yes. If you cannot complete the online interview, a telephone interview may be available. A phone interview may take longer to schedule and may delay the review process, but it can help ensure that the key facts are still collected.
What happens after I complete the interactive options form?
After you complete the form, the team reviews the information you submitted. Based on your answers, they may contact you to discuss possible next steps, explain available service options, or request more details.
The form helps the team understand what happened before they respond. The more specific you are, the easier it is to identify the next step.
What happens if I do not complete the interactive options form?
If you do not complete the form, you may still receive general emails with guidance related to your situation. Those emails are usually informational and may continue for a limited period.
Completing the form gives the firm a clearer picture of your issue and helps prevent important details from being missed.
If I cannot afford to pay, how can you assist me?
If you cannot afford full representation, there may still be lower-cost or limited-scope options depending on the issue. Some tenants need help understanding a notice. Others need document review, written notice, or guidance on what to do next.
The firm may also direct you to educational resources that explain common Florida tenant problems, including security deposits, repairs, lockouts, lease termination, and eviction.
