PLANO, TX - DECEMBER 2, 2002 - Richard L. Armstrong & Associates, a Plano, TX based law firm, announced today it has been retained by Chef's Choice Fine Foods, Inc. of Dallas under its Fractional General Counsel(tm)  (FGC) practice.  Chef's Choice Fine Foods, Inc. employs approximately 20 people, and provides home food delivery.  Murray Schwartz CEO of Chef's Choice likes the FGC concept because he can pick up the phone and call regarding any legal related issue.  Chef's Choice has two hours of time booked each month for legal services.

""I know what I'm going spend every month," said Schwartz. "I've got it allocated perfectly."

Richard Armstrong has twenty-two years experience as an attorney representing small businesses as well as international corporations. He developed FGC as the answer for small and medium size businesses desiring quality legal representation like their larger competitors, at a cost they can afford.
