Multi Param URL redirect issue in wordpress - wordpress

Question

I have a bit of an issue I cannot seem to get around.
On a WordPress install we have these special profile pages that were triggered by a URL structure such as this
/our-firm/profile/1/Some.Name
They wanted the name appended to the URL so the URL's were prettier. This looks like it was previously managed through some type of plugin before we got it. Now a recent WordPress update has corrupted that plugin, and this functionality no longer works. I have it where it at least works if you do not use the name, example:
/our-firm/profile/1/
But that of course is not what the client wants. I have attempted to remedy the issue with some .htaccess rewriting that follows:
RewriteRule ^our-firm/profile/([0-9]+)/([^+]+)?$ our-firm/profile?id=$1&name=$2 [L,QSA]
But I am not getting anywhere with it. What weirder is, and it may just be something I am over looking, but if I visit:
/our-firm/profile?id=1&profile_name=Some.Name
That even works fine.
Any help would be great on this. Thanks in advance!!

You can use add_rewrite_rule of WP (http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_rule)
Example:
function wptuts_add_rewrite_rules() {
add_rewrite_rule('^path-1/([^/]*)?$','index.php?page_id=PAGE_ID&nameSurname=$matches[1]','top');
flush_rewrite_rules();
}
add_action( 'init', 'wptuts_add_rewrite_rules' );
function add_query_vars($aVars) {
$aVars[] = "nameSurname";
return $aVars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'add_query_vars');
and You get the params in the page using $wp_query->query_vars["nameSurname"];
