123 feet!

I am very fortunate because I office out of my main client's office,
which
is a Century 21 real estate franchise (I also do real estate law, on
occasion). They have lots of very non-intimidating, pleasantly
decorated meeting
rooms, so it is nearly always possible to get a small room for four
people which
looks out on a quiet garden. It even has a correctly-shaped table. As for
attire, I generally wear court attire, but tend to lose the tie, and
often,
during the course of the meeting, lose the jacket, as well.
Before I took this office, I used to practice from home, and found
that the
best of all possible places to visit with clients was on my 123-foot
porch,
at the table that we often use for breakfast. It looks out upon the
garden,
and is one of the most peaceful places I know.
Frankly, I cannot imagine meeting in public: simply too many
distractions,
and, of course, the illusion of the whole world listening to the client's
business. But, more than that, I find that it is difficult enough to
stay on
track to make tough decisions in a quiet and peaceful environment. I
imagine it
would be far more difficult in a place like Starbuck's.
