Public interest groups face a series of often-confusing laws that regulate their activities. The layers of federal tax, lobbying and election laws often pose serious stumbling blocks for people trying to make a difference in their communities. Worse yet, it is often hard to find the right professional to guide their clients through this legal wilderness. Tim has spent a decade specializing in nonprofit law, helping hundreds of nonprofits along the way.
