Ellen runs the "Community Association" practice at DARSLaw. We at Capitol Hill Tower hired her firm and it's been an unmitigated disaster. She ignores the law and actively helps people violate the law. Two examples: 1. Ellen Throop actively violates DC Code § 42–1703. It is illegal to knowingly advertise a home for sale with false information. Yet, Ellen ensures that her clients are violating this law. 2. When COVID hit, Ellen covered up a major scandal by illegally re-classifying an employee as a “contractor” (even though they don’t meet the DOL definition of “contractor”) in order to avoid penalties for failing to make sure this employee had been tested for COVID, thus putting the entire building at harm. A whistleblower has come forward and this issue is currently in litigation. It's not just Ellen, though. It's her firm as well. DARSlaw was founded by Susan Rapaport, who has since passed away. But, in her prime, Susan was on record mocking and denigrating victims of crime claiming “they had it coming to them” in order to avoid any liability.
