How to Run A Profitable Home-Based Law Office

1. Get a professional address

• A cheap and easy solution to this would be to
  sign up for a virtual office. When renting a
  virtual office from a provider who offers
  reception services as part of the package, your
  clients can go to the suite to drop off packages,
  and the law firm can receive service of process,
  mail and hand deliveries, whether the attorney is
  physically present in the office or not.

2. Consider a Virtual Office in an executive
suite as second work location

• Your home office may be perfectly adequate to
  roll up your sleeves and do the dirty work of a
  legal practice (drafting, legal research,
  telephone negotiations), but meeting clients,
  employees or adversaries in your home may not be
  practical.

3. Set a schedule and share it

• Interruptions are productivity killers. When you
  work from home, your family and friends can be
  the most frequent sources of interruption.
• Explain when youll be working. Describe how you
  work best Whether thats Youre free to check
  in with me from time to time

4. Eliminate distractions

• If you want to work from home while also being
  productive, then you will have to eliminate as
  many distractions as possible.
• If you really need to focus, try using a
  conference room or workspace at Law Firm Suites
  and turn off my phone and internet.

5. Dont meet clients at a coffee shop

• Temporary meeting room rentals offer home-based
  law firms a low-cost alternative to meeting in an
  unprofessional and potentially unethical location
  such as a coffee shop.
• This allows the law firm to make the best
  impression with the lowest financial outlay. And
  more importantly, will help you to close more
  deals!

6. Get Dressed

• Whenever you work from home, one of the first
  things you should do it change out of those
  pajamas and put on some work clothes.
• Even if you dont have a client yet. There are
  plenty of things that need to be done each day.
  Getting in the right mindset will help you tackle
  them.

7. Get the right equipment

• On the digital side, make sure youre using a
  good practice management software, CRM and online
  marketing tools. These will all help your
  practice to grow and run smoothly.
• When it comes to physical items, no matter what
  else you do, invest in a good computer, a good
  phone, and a comfortable and ergonomically
  correct chair.
