I want to expand my practice by advertising in several geographical areas. My primary office is located in the eastern part of Pennsylvania in an urban area. I am very interested in advertising in western Pennsylvania. Can I use a virtual law office as my office in western Pennsylvania if my main office is in eastern Pennsylvania?

This question is an interesting one. After advertising was allowed in 1978, lawyers started to become very creative. It wasn’t uncommon for lawyers to rent a small office in various counties throughout Pennsylvania, use local phone numbers and have every call forwarded back to their office say in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. In the early years before everyone started doing it, this was a fairly effective way of getting business.
