A Tacoma Business Attorney Can Help You Protect Yourself
It’s Far Easier and Cheaper to Prevent Problems Than to Tackle Them After They Happen
As a business owner, there are steps to take that can increase your chances of success and help to avoid legal problems. Consider the following:
- Ensure you comply with the wide range of laws, regulations, and ordinances that may apply to your business.
- Put agreements in writing. Though some oral agreements may be enforced, it is simpler to have everyone’s obligations and expectations written out and signed by all the parties to minimize the chances of misunderstandings.
- Examine your operational procedures to identify ways to improve efficiency and overall financial success.
- Comply with all employment laws and ensure you provide a safe and healthy workplace.
- Comply with all relevant tax requirements to avoid any conflicts with the IRS.
- Address any potential conflicts the moment you suspect they may arise, as it may be simpler to resolve an issue before it has progressed further.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Our Corporate Law Services
The Lawyer-Client Relationship is Based on Open Communication
Both new and experienced business owners will inevitably have legal questions about their companies. The following are only a few of the questions we regularly hear from business owners. For more specific questions or concerns, please contact our office for assistance.
We’re here to do all we can to help you succeed. Our attorneys have highly specialized knowledge and skills that can be put to work for your company. Ideally, we can prevent legal challenges from blocking your path, but we will also work hard to get them out of the way so your business can reach its goals. We get a lot of satisfaction when we learn a client is growing and doing well, because we care about the people and companies we work with.
We provide our clients with the services of a much larger firm, but with the lower costs and personal attention that come from a medium-sized legal practice. Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess isn’t about billing hours. We focus on doing all we can to make our clients successful. We want long-term, productive relationships that will benefit us both. Your business uses many outside experts, and we want to be part of the team that helps you reach your potential.
It’s easy for a company to look at the cost of legal representation and wonder if the return is worth it. Effective legal counsel may save you far more than what you pay. Preventing legal problems not only saves you additional legal bills – it saves the money you might have paid government agencies or parties suing you. You’ll also spend time and energy running your business, not dealing with a legal crisis. Our fees are very reasonable and represent an excellent value. We understand our clients don’t have money to waste, so we control our costs and pass savings to you.
When a legal issue arises, your attorney needs to understand the nature of your business so they can find the most effective legal solution for you. Having an ongoing relationship with a business lawyer will allow you to call your lawyer whenever you need assistance, without having to explain the history of your business and your goals. This can save you time and money.
Our attorneys have a wide range of experience. Those who have the best relationships with your company and the most expertise in the areas you need help with will provide you with the professional services you deserve. When it’s appropriate to control your costs, we will assign experienced and qualified associates and paralegals to help your company.
If you face a legal conflict with your business, you should call a business lawyer as soon as possible. However, you do not have to wait until a dispute arises to contact an attorney. A Tacoma business attorney can help you even before you officially form your business, to put safeguards in place to prevent legal issues in the future.
Litigation can be costly and time consuming. The good news is that many business disputes are resolved without heading to court. Our law firm explores other ways for dispute resolution, including negotiating with the other party or engaging in mediation or arbitration before we file a legal claim.
Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess has experienced litigation attorneys who can zealously defend your rights and protect your interests. If the issue is highly unusual and specialized, we may have trusted colleagues from another firm join us in representing you, but we will be responsible for taking your case to trial and won’t refer it to another firm.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“I own a General Contracting company and had a client that wanted to come after me in many ways due to a breach of contract on their end. I was in need to find someone to represent me immediately …. When I called Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess, I got to speak to Tom about my case. With the false claim against me and my insurance I hired Dickson Law and worked with Inge who did fantastic on my case. Inge was easy to get a hold of and returned any emails and calls within 24hrs. We all know how some attorneys can disappear and leave you hanging which is very frustrating. Inge and Dickson Law are professional and care about your company. Since the false claims against my company, which we all dropped, I have continued to use Inge with all my contract agreements and legal advice. I am forever a client with Dickson Law. As a young business owner, I am grateful for what I have learned from Inge with contracts.”
