How the Firm Works
Unemployment Insurance. This firm offers a comprehensive solution to lowering your company’s Maryland and DC unemployment insurance taxes. Tom is devoted to litigating and managing employers’ unemployment compensation, a.k.a., unemployment insurance (“UI”) claims, by (1) educating clients about the UI system, (2) giving them the documentary tools to successfully defend claims, and (3) by providing superior legal representation at hearings and appeals. Whether your company or organization needs representation with a single hearing, or you are prepared to outsource the entire claims process—this firm can help. And unlike HR service providers or payroll companies, an attorney will always argue your case when you choose this firm.
Landlord & Tenant. DC is fairly unique with much of its landlord and tenant law. This firm provides superior legal representation to DC landlords.
Food Stamp Trafficking. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is a vital program to millions of Americans consumers and the food stores at which they shop. This firm represents stores accused of food stamp trafficking. If your business has received a USDA charge letter, Tom may be able to help.
The Corporate Counsel Program. Small businesses are the engines that drive our local economies and this firm can guide your small business at each step in the development process—from establishing a corporate entity to enforcing HR policies to interpreting contracts and helping settle disputes. The Corporate Counsel Program is a very affordable way of retaining quality counsel for your business.
Fees
This firm believes in affordable fixed fee agreements, and almost all services are offered at fixed rates.
Message to Small Business Owners
This recession is remaking the way products and services are packaged and delivered. It’s also creating countless opportunities for creative entrepreneurs. Tom’s a small business owner too, so he understands that new and small businesses are very cash-focused. Therefore, every service this firm provides is designed to minimize costs while maximizing benefits. Our fixed fees also help you predict and manage legal costs in a way that is impossible with billable hours.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, this firm helps educate you and your employees before any problems arise. Tom will come to your business and conduct super-low cost seminars on employment law and other topics. There is a standard syllabus of seminars to choose from, and each can be customized to your needs. Ben Franklin’s statement is overused, but accurate, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Contact Tom about scheduling a seminar. It can pay for itself countless times over.
