Reasons to Get a Small Law Firm #2: Price and Flexibility

Large law offices are known for taking up thousands of square feet of rented space. They often have beautiful furniture, artwork, and appointments. One supposes the rates they charge are necessary in part to support all of the glitz and glamour.

My law office consists of one room, and is no greater than 200 square feet in size. The small footprint of the office allows me to keep overhead down and productivity up. I can charge a lower hourly rate, or in many cases a flat fee, to control my clients' costs.
