Is this a printed piece or online?
Anyway you look at it, classic font styles will always give off the feeling of security and strength. A sans -serif font like tahoma or arial are too narrow for print and are best suited to a screen. The serif fonts like Times have been around for centuries.
Take a look at the link below. There are literally thousands of fonts and font styles to choose from. Typography is a lost art and one of the best books around is "The Non-Designers Design Book" from peachpit press.
Personally, I'd go with a Garamond myself.

Without actually trying to solicit business, I'd suggest looking into a graphic designer. Thats why we get paid. A typeface says a lot about the style of your practice. "Serif" typefaces (the ones that have "feet" at the bottom like Times) convey a more classic idea while "sans" typefaces look more contemporary. There are millions of typoefaces, so you are asking a really broad question, but I would look into the following (very, very basic): Sans Frutiger, Avenir, Univers, Whitney, Gill, Helvetica, Franklin Gothic, News Gothic or Futura Serif Caslon, Garamond, Filosofia (or bodoni), Mrs Eaves (or baskerville), Minion, Tarzana, Jenson, or Century. PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY SYSTEM FONTS THAT CAME WITH YOUR COMPUTER (save helvetica). I know one of these typefaces may cost up to $200, but they look much better (and will stand out) compared to arial and times. This is an overgeneralization, but it may help

You didn't mention if you were going to use this on a poster or a website. Tahoma looks good on both flyers and on websites, but for a general website font that works on most peoples' browsers, go with Verdana or Arial. Tahoma works for the logo on websites as well, but don't do the mistake of writing everything on the site in Tahoma.

It would depend on your theme. The most important part for your business to be successful is to position it. You should have a trademark. example.
(name of company)
"perfect for you"
hmmm..
how about...
try using Arial font bold. It is simple yet very profound.
But if you also want to emphasize beauty and elegance try using monotype cursiva.
i hope i helped you.

in my opinion the font "Bold Thoma" is good for that purpose.
