[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2822257, member: 19286"] I see both good and bad in this and can't mentally total up the pro/con score. First, the whole world is going virtual, so why shouldn't the lawyer/client relationship do so? The brick and mortar setting is going away in a lot of businesses. So, this would put you on the trend line. However, I'm betting that many legal discussions are highly emotional. Could you have those kind of discussions in a library meeting room? I bet not. I bet some potential clients would bolt. Sure, there might be some people that demand the credibility of an ivy-walled building with an impressive law library. But, I'm guessing that they are in the minority. The value an attorney brings is in the service he provides and you probably don't need a snazzy office to do that. There is some pretty effective 'street law' practiced on card tables in community centers. But, you'd need to figure out how to offer a quiet, [B]private [/B]setting option. That's my $.02. [/QUOTE]
