The Bar Association of the District of Columbia (BADC) has awarded Thyden Gross & Callahan its prestigious Constance L. Belfiore Quality of Life Award in the small law firm category. This award is given annually to law firms that provide exceptional personal and professional quality of life to their members and employees. The award recognizes Thyden Gross & Callahan for providing an outstanding quality of life to its members, including both attorneys and staff. This is the first time the award has been given to a Maryland law firm.

“We always knew that Thyden Gross & Callahan was a great place to work and now the secret is out. We enjoy our work helping our clients solve problems. We treat everyone with respect and enjoy working with each other,” said James J. Gross, managing partner of Thyden Gross & Callahan.

Among Thyden Gross & Callahan’s policies contributing to the award are a friendly work atmosphere that concentrates on solving client problems rather than billable hours. While the firm is profitable and expanding, billable hours are established as goals and not mandatory. Management is by consensus and every partner vote has been unanimous. Lawyers are trained and encouraged to market their services. The employees and staff are able to have a balanced work and personal life.

“Thyden Gross & Callahan impressed the award committee with its unique and cooperative approach to practicing law. It is able to maintain a friendly, small town philosophy, in a large metropolitan area,” said Constance L. Belfiore, past president of the BADC and for whom the award is named.

The award was presented at the BADC annual luncheon, on June 1, 2006, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
