What Business Owners ask us First.
Still have a question?
The fastest way to get a real answer is a short conversation with an attorney about your situation.
What happens during an initial consultation?
During your initial consultation, you’ll speak directly with an attorney about your situation, walk through your options, and get a clear sense of how he can help — before you decide whether to move forward.
What types of businesses do you represent?
We represent small and mid-sized businesses, LLCs, corporations, commercial landlords and tenants, and individual business owners across Northern Virginia and Washington DC — from startups to established companies.
How much does a business attorney cost?
Fees depend on the complexity of the matter. We discuss fee arrangements — including flat-fee and hourly options — transparently and up front, before you commit. Competitive, fair pricing is part of how we work.
How long does a business dispute take to resolve?
Many disputes resolve in a few months through negotiation or alternative resolution. Complex litigation can take longer in Virginia and DC courts. Because litigation isn’t always the first step, we explore the fastest, most cost-effective path first.
Do you handle matters in Virginia and Washington DC?
Yes. We are licensed in Virginia and Washington DC, with offices in Alexandria, Fairfax, Tysons, and Washington DC, serving clients throughout the greater DC metro area.
A partner breached our agreement — what should I do?
Preserve all communications and documents right away, and avoid taking unilateral action before you understand your position. Then reach out — acting quickly protects your options. We’ll assess your situation in a confidential consultation.
