Shoveling out from the snow storm that stopped the Washington, D.C. area
Record setting snowfall in the Washington, D.C. area has lead to closures of the Courts, the workers compensation commissions and even ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. During the first snow storm, when cars could not get out of Doug Landau’s neighborhood, the intrepid Triathlon Trial Lawyer ran out to the Fairfax County Parkway and ran behind the Virginia Department of Transportation snow plows all the way to the Landau Law Shop. The Historic Downtown District of Herndon” looked like a ghost town !
Imagine the seasoned multi-sport athlete and trial lawyer’s surprise when he saw foot prints leading up to and away from the Victorian house on the corner of Station and Center Streets ! Did the weight of the snow push in a window ? Did looters knock down the door ? Did the 120-year-old house sustain severe storm damage ? No, it was the tracks of the U. S. Post Office deliveryman dropping off important mail for Landau’s injured and disabled clients. Inspired by the Federal worker’s exploits, Landau put his sock feet into plastic bags before donning his sneakers, so that his feet wold at least remain dry on the hour long trudge home. After the snows finally stopped, Landau hired professionals to help him get his xTerra out of the neighborhood so that he could get to the office and continue to help people.
