This sponsored column is by Law Office of James Montana PLLC. All questions about it should be directed to James Montana, Esq., Janice Chen, Esq., and Taryn Druge, Esq., practicing attorneys at The Law Office of James Montana PLLC, an immigration-focused law firm located in Falls Church, Virginia. The legal information given here is general in nature. If you want legal advice, contact us for an appointment.
Our little law office is hiring for two positions: Attorney and Legal Intern (Fall Semester). The details and tips on how to apply are below, in Q&A style.
Do you want to send out lots of wax-sealed letters to clients? Apply now!
Q: Hiring, eh? How much cash on the barrel?
A: Depends on the position. The Attorney position comes with a starting salary of $75,000, with guaranteed bonuses if you meet fairly achievable revenue targets. Those bonuses are $20,000 and $25,000, respectively, so the range of compensation is $75,000 – $120,000 per year. The Law Clerk position is paid hourly, and the amount depends on your background. (Certain local law schools won’t give you class credit if we pay you. We prefer to pay you, but we can forgo paying you if that’s what you need.)
Q: What? I thought that lawyers dove into piles of gold coins all day, like Scrooge McDuck!
A: It depends. On Wall Street, we are reliably informed that big law firm partners can make more than $15,000,000 per year – more than the bankers who pay them! Immigration lawyers are much more modestly compensated.
A: We offer great benefits and a wonderful place to work.
Generous Benefits We offer extremely generous benefits – better than every local nonprofit, including paid parental leave, 70% of health insurance / vision / dental covered from your first day on, FSA, retirement plan with a generous match – you name it, we offer it!
Easy Commute Commuting into DC is for masochists. Working here isn’t. Our beautiful old office, built in 1870, is in the heart of Falls Church. We have plenty of free parking and a verdant, wooded landscape around our building.
Helping People in Need Our clients come from all walks of life. Some come from vulnerable circumstances. You’ll work with them, and you’ll make a huge difference for them.
Collegial Environment We pride ourselves doing cases one at a time. You won’t be forced to take cases. Instead, you’ll evaluate cases on your own, and build your own docket within the firm based on your own capacity and interests. We offer both independence and mentorship for new lawyers.
Q: Do you offer Work from Home?
A: No. Why? Because, as noted, we work with many people who come from vulnerable circumstances. These clients are best served by meeting with you in person. We are unwilling to compromise on this point, because, shorn of the verbiage, WFH means telling poor people to go pound sand.
A: For Attorney, we require a bar license and a JD. We’re happy to hire new lawyers. Spanish fluency is a big plus. Immigration experience is, of course, a plus too.
A(2): For Legal Intern, we require that you be enrolled at a local law school. That’s it! We’re here to help with your education and pay you a decent wage.
Questions about the jobs? Ask in the comments. We’ll respond, just like we always do.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer in Arlington, now’s a great time to look at condos. The condo market is a little softer right now, which means prices are more affordable and that’s an opportunity to get in before it heats back up.
Most condos are turn-key, meaning you can move right in without spending extra on renovations. They’re virtually maintenance-free (no mowing lawns or fixing roofs), in walkable neighborhoods with great restaurants, coffee shops, and easy Metro access, and they often come with perks like gyms, pools, or parking. Monthly fees usually cover water, trash, and building upkeep, so expenses stay predictable.
Many Arlington condos perfect for first-time buyers are priced around $450,000-$500,000. With today’s interest rates, that could mean a monthly payment (including condo fee, taxes, and insurance) in the $2,700-$3,200 range, often comparable to renting a similar space.

Question: Is it a good time to buy a condo in Washington DC?
Answer: Unless you think that the Washington DC economy is heading for a death spiral, it could be a great time to acquire excellent value in the DC condo market.
Asking Prices Are Lowest in 10+ Years
The average asking price of condos listed for sale in July was lower than it’s been at any time in the past ten years. In July 2025, DC condos were listed for an average price of $552,000. Prior to this summer, the lowest average monthly asking price for a DC condo over the past ten years was in August 2016 at $583,000, 5.6% higher than July 2025 asking prices.
The narrative improves slightly using median price, with a July 2025 median asking price of $450,000 compared to an August 2015 median asking price of $435,000.
In either case, average or median pricing, the data suggests buyers can buy DC condos at prices similar to 10+ years ago.
Buyers Have Nearly 3x More Options to Choose From
Buyers in DC will find nearly 3x more condos being offered for sale than the market has averaged over the past ten years, which means more opportunity to find the right property and find a seller ready to strike a great deal.
High Days on Market = Significant Buyer Leverage
The longer a property sits on the market, the more leverage buyers have to negotiate the price. The chart below shows the average sold price relative to the original asking price based on how long a property was on the market before going under contract, in Washington DC.
Homes that sell within the first ten days average above asking price. Once a home has been on the market for 30 days, buyers pick-up significant leverage, with an average of 5.7% and 7.6% off the original asking price for homes on the market 31-60 days and 61-90 days, respectively.
If you want to understand just how much leverage buyers have on DC condos right now, the days on market data tells the story:
· As of Monday August 18, there were 1,224 condos for sale in Washington DC
· Of those condos, the average time on market is 113 days and median time on market 82 days
· 996 (81.4%) have been on the market for 30+ days and 506 (41.3%) have been on the market for 100+ days
Don’t Get Blindsided by DC’s Tenant-Landlord Laws
Washington DC is a very tenant-friendly jurisdiction and it’s important that you understand the requirements and limitations placed on landlords in DC if you plan to invest and rent property in the District. I’m far from an expert on DC tenant-landlord laws and property management, but highly recommend connecting with my colleague, Michael Hangemanole, if you have any questions or need Property Management/Rental services in Washington DC. He can be reached on his cell at (240) 483-7255 or by email at [email protected], and is more than happy to talk to any readers about DC property management, the rental market, and landlord-tenant laws.
If you’d like to discuss buying, selling, investing, or renting, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].

In today’s real estate market, I’ve noticed some great listings that, in another season, would have sparked bidding wars and disappeared in a weekend. They’ve got all the essentials buyers appreciate, location, charm, thoughtful updates, and value; but here we are in a more balanced moment, where buyers have a little more breathing room and sellers have to wait just a touch longer for the right match. The silver lining? It creates an opportunity for buyers to score homes that should have been gone by now.
This week, I’m highlighting a few of these standout homes. They’ve been nicely maintained and smartly prepared for the market. For anyone who’s been waiting for unique buyer opportunities, these listings could deserve a look.
