One of my goals as a Seattle DUI attorney is to be convenient for my clients, my potential clients, and my staff. I also want it to be a place that is kind of cool, that is fun to work in, and that people look forward to seeing every day. Until lately, I hadn't really had the opportunity to fulfill many of these goals. I needed office space based on price and that was it.
But I've recently been forced to relocate my office, and I've decided that this time I'm going to do it right. I'm going to find a place that fits my needs and is convenient for clients. Or at least is what I think is convenient for clients (that is one of the things that makes this difficult - in the DUI lawyer business, you never really know what clients want, even when they tell you).
For me, I think location matters. I think that being in the wrong location can drive potential clients away. And I think down town is a terrible place for a criminal attorney to reside. Why? Easy. People that need a DUI attorney aren't necessarily interested in going some place to be wowed like a corporate attorney or even a business attorney might need. I think people that need my services are looking for someone they can trust, and all a huge building tells them is that they are expensive (it may show some signs of success, but just maybe).
In the end, I think my office space is not going to be downtown (though I may try to keep my address down there for law firm website SEO purposes). It isn't going to be out in the boondocks either, but it will be in a place that is much more convenient to the client - which will include free in-building parking, something no one has downtown. Also, it is extremely easy to get to from anywhere in Seattle. Another plus.
We'll see how it works. I think in the end it could be a huge benefit for my firm and my clients. I guess only time will tell.
