When you get something from some of these federales you probably ought to call a lawyer who specializes in that agency.

I just shake my head when I read some of what is written on FR. Some posters (who almost certainly have never run a business in their entire life) apparently think that small business people have money machines at their disposal which they are able to use whenever they want to to pay other people to act as go-betweens with the federal gov't.

Look, an initial consultation with an attorney IS ORDINARILY FREE OF CHARGE.

These specialists will usually let you know the score. In this case the people contacted a lawyer who specialized in USDA (et al) and he seems to have advised them to GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS RIGHT NOW.

Which they did.

They are now getting fined for not having called that same guy earlier.
