__**Five pros of a virtual law practice:**__
 * 1) //Flexibility for clients.// Can't find time to meet with an attorney face-to-face because you work the 3rd shift? Having transportation issues? Leading a monastic life? Afraid to be seen in public? Or does the client live 100 or 200 or 1000 miles away? VLO offers a great work-around for the inconveniences of a client's life.
 * 2) //Flexibility for the attorney.// The other side of the flexibility coin, but for the attorney. As a night owl, I can certainly see the appeal of mostly exchanging info with a client through an online portal defined largely by non-real-time interactions. Or I could be travelling or nominally on vacation in Dublin, and still get things done for a client, and even get new clients while nowhere near my home.
 * 3) //Low overhead costs.// At least in the pure VLO model, you're not renting a fancy downtown office (or even a rundown office space in the middle of an industrial/commercial area).
 * 4) //A fairly unique marketing opportunity.// I may be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that being able to say that you offer clients the flexibility to interact in ways that fit their schedule, via an online interface will just have a cool factor, and a uniqueness factor that appeals to certain parts of the population.
