Get the Best Counsel for Building Your Business in Maryland

How We Can Help You with Grow Your Business in Maryland

Traditionally, lawyers have failed to cost-effectively and competently represent small and medium-sized businesses through outside general counsel. The Billable Hour model, in particular, is the primary factor in driving up the cost of legal bills for businesses.

Business owners, with important legal questions, fear to call their lawyer because they will get an absurdly large bill for a 10-minute phone call at the end of the month. Why the Billable Hour model does not work for you:

  • Billed for each phone call
  • Billed for each letter written on your behalf
  • Lawyers working on a problem have no incentive to resolve the situation quickly because costs are directly tied to how long your lawsuit (or other problem) continues
  • Lawyers feel trapped by attempting to meet certain billable hour goals, essentially “padding” bills, knowing full well that bills are enormous and overstated
  • You fear unexpected legal costs
  • You cannot predict your costs – as a result, you may not seek legal advice when you should
