If you are starting a law practice or are thinking of growing an existing one and you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you should get this book, “Starting and Growing a Law Practice without Breaking the Bank.” It offers practical tools to start, run and grow a firm using available and affordable resources.

Lawcus v. Clio? Which do you prefer?
I don’t want clients in my home. No way. I will meet them in an office at a bank or conference center or at a law firm with which I have a connection.
You don’t want clients to know where you live. You also don’t want coworking space if you are sharing it with someone else. You can’t take phone calls or expect complete silence which you often need.
You can rent an office by the day or even hour in most places for client meetings.
I am looking to transition to fully remote solo estate planning/admin and real estate here in the next year and interested to see how others do it as well. I’d plan to have a home office for working and as far as meeting clients goes, I’d connect with a notary and arrange to only meet clients in person at the notary’s office for document signings. All my meetings are by video or telephone right now anyway, by my choice, despite me having an office.
As others have said, I don’t want clients knowing my home address, let alone meeting me there.
Regus or a similar company is a much better choice IMO if you need a space to meet with clients. You can start with a renting an office as needed, and then switch to a dedicated office as your practice grows, without having to change your address, phone number, etc.
A Regus “virtual office” should be affordable for a solo starting out. As the practice grows, they can consider whether to transition to a Regus physical office or “traditional” office.
Yes, Regus can get expensive, but it’s Class A office space with a desirable location/address. That helps build credibility with potential clients.
Definitely get a space or somewhere you can meet clients when needed. We’re a small firm so we have an office space because our clients LOVE to meet with us! no joke they’ll just swing by randomly to chat sometimes- of course we bill them for it.
P2 hits the nail on the head. Complete interruption of my day. And it’s never potential clients, it’s always the tiresome, unreplenished retainer, thinks-they-control-my-schedule ones that walk in demanding to see me.
No clients in my house for many reasons. I do have co working space if needed but honestly everything is so virtual now. I don't think many more in person meetings will happen
If you want to be on a conflict list in some counties (most common for criminal work), some counties require a physical office within their jurisdiction.
