Thursday 4/30/26: Legal Talk with Attorney Kevin Flesch & Your Legacy Your Way with Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal

Today’s Guests:
Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law and Host Scott Whatley talk about if you get charged with a crime, you need an attorney. Choosing the right criminal defense attorney can make a life-changing difference when facing charges. On this episode of Legal Talk, host Scott Whatley visits with Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law to break down what truly matters when selecting legal representation. Not all attorneys have the same experience, and hiring based on price alone or waiting too long to seek help can put your future at risk. Kevin emphasizes the importance of working with a lawyer who focuses specifically on criminal law and has real courtroom experience. Prosecutors often recognize which attorneys are willing to go to trial, and that can directly impact negotiations and outcomes. Early legal involvement can also open doors to better strategies, sometimes even before charges are formally filed. Listeners are encouraged to ask key questions during consultations, understand who will actually handle their case, and look for clear communication and accessibility. Red flags include guarantees of outcomes, high-pressure tactics, and vague answers. The bottom line: your freedom, record, and reputation are too important to leave to chance. Taking the time to choose an experienced, strategic criminal defense attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. Kevin Flesch and their attorneys represent personal injury victims and people accused of criminal acts throughout the Denver area. It’s always a free consultation at Flesch Law. Call Kevin today at 303-806-8886 or visit the website at www.fleschlawfirm.com. Got a legal question? You can now TEXT the Flesch Law Line 24/7 with your legal question: 720-201-8585.

Then it’s Your Legacy Your Way, with Estate Planning Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal. Today we discuss the 10 key things to consider when creating or updating an estate plan. The conversation emphasizes that a well-rounded plan goes far beyond just a will—it’s about making thoughtful decisions that protect both your assets and your loved ones. Carolyn highlights essential components like choosing the right fiduciaries (executors, trustees, and powers of attorney), ensuring beneficiary designations align with your overall plan, and understanding the differences between wills and trusts. She also stresses the importance of planning for incapacity through healthcare directives and financial powers of attorney—documents many people overlook. Other critical considerations include minimizing taxes and probate costs, protecting minor children through guardianship designations, and keeping your plan updated after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. She also touches on common mistakes, such as DIY documents that may not hold up legally. The key takeaway: estate planning is not a one-time task—it’s an ongoing process. Taking the time to address these 10 areas helps ensure your wishes are honored and your family is protected.

Tuesday 4/28/26: Your Money Matters Radio Show & Medicare & More Brought to you by the Silver Sherpa

Today’s Guests:
On this week’s Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt answered a common question from his clients – from homeowners and buyers alike:
“Are there loans that can help me buy or refinance a home and pay for improvements?” The short answer is yes — rehab loans, and there are several types depending on your goals. We talked about how rehab loans can be used for both purchases and refinances, whether you’re updating a home to live in long-term, increasing value to sell, or improving cash flow. These loans are available through Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA programs, and they can be customized to fit your situation. Kurt explained the difference between Limited Rehab loans and Full Rehab loans:
🔨 Limited Rehab loans are designed for non-structural updates like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, appliances, windows, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and even finishing a basement — with up to $75,000 built in.

🏗️ Full Rehab loans go further and can include structural changes, room additions, and major renovations, with loan amounts based on the future appraised value of the home.

We also discussed ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) — how zoning plays a role and how rehab financing can help homeowners add space for family or rental income.

Kurt explained when you can do some work yourself versus when a licensed contractor is required, how rehab funds are released, and walked through real-world examples showing how future value plays into loan approvals.

Finally, we touched on home appreciation, why condition matters more than headlines, and why short-term market noise shouldn’t distract you from long-term value and wealth building.

A couple of months ago, I decided to have my eyes checked for cataracts.

Dr. Fish tells us about his credentials and their philosophy about customer care at Colorado Eye Consultants.

Thursday 4/23/26: Legal Talk with Attorney Kevin Flesch & Your Legacy Your Way with Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal

Today’s Guests:
Attorney Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law and Host Scott Whatley talk about choosing the right personal injury attorney and how it can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. On this edition of Legal Talk, host Scott Whatley visits with Kevin Flesch of Flesch Law to break down what every listener should know before hiring legal representation. Not all attorneys are the same—some firms focus on quick settlements, while others prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That distinction alone can impact how insurance companies respond and how much compensation you may ultimately receive. The conversation highlights key questions to ask during a consultation, including who will actually handle your case, how communication will be managed, and what strategy will be used. Kevin explains the importance of understanding contingency fees, as well as the difference between attorney fees and case costs. He also stresses the value of hiring someone with local Colorado experience who understands the courts, judges, and legal process. Listeners are encouraged to watch for red flags such as poor communication, unrealistic promises, or pressure to settle too quickly. The bottom line: take your time, ask the right questions, and choose an attorney who will truly advocate for you every step of the way. Kevin Flesch and their attorneys represent personal injury victims and people accused of criminal acts throughout the Denver area. It’s always a free consultation at Flesch Law.

Then it’s Your Legacy Your Way, with Estate Planning Attorney Carolyn Duncan of Duncan Legal. Today we discuss a common misconception—that estate planning is only for older or wealthy individuals. The truth is, planning early is one of the smartest financial and personal decisions young adults can make. Carolyn explains that estate planning isn’t just about distributing wealth—it’s about control and protection. Even in your 20s or 30s, having key documents like a will, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives ensures your wishes are honored if something unexpected happens. Without these in place, families can face unnecessary stress, legal complications, and court involvement during already difficult times. The conversation also highlights real-life scenarios where young adults benefit from planning—whether it’s protecting minor children, outlining medical decisions, or managing digital and financial assets. Life changes such as marriage, homeownership, or starting a family make having a plan even more critical. The key takeaway: estate planning isn’t about age—it’s about being prepared. Starting early provides peace of mind and builds a strong foundation that can grow and adapt with you over time.

Tuesday 4/21/26: Your Money Matters Radio Show & Medicare & More Brought to you by the Silver Sherpa

Today’s Guests:
On this week’s Your Money Matters Radio Show, Kurt talked about a program many homeowners may already qualify for — Streamline Refinances for those with an FHA or VA loan. A Streamline refinance is designed to make refinancing simpler, faster, and more affordable. In many cases, homeowners can refinance without an appraisal, without income documentation, and without increasing their base loan amount, as long as the new loan lowers the interest rate and payment. Depending on the loan balance and rate improvement, many homeowners may see monthly savings between $125–$300, making this a simple way to improve cash flow. We also discussed common questions about Streamlines, including how often they can be used when rates improve and the typical 7-month seasoning requirement before refinancing. Beyond Streamlines, Kurt also talked about financing strategies like reverse HELOC options for homeowners 55+, investment property opportunities in today’s buyer-friendly market, and why working with an independent mortgage broker can provide access to more lenders and loan options. If you currently have an FHA or VA loan, it may be worth exploring whether a Streamline refinance could help lower your rate and monthly payment. Call Kurt for your Pre-Approval. Kurt Rogers is our exclusive Mortgage Broker. Call Kurt at (720) 895-0500 and explore your mortgage refinance options if you have high interest debt! Kurt is saving real clients, real money!
