Inside The Legal Café
Resolving problems — it’s what lawyers do. And they’ve done it again by designing a new way to work remotely.
The first of its kind, The Legal Café opened in mid-May at 114 Main St. (conveniently close to the federal and state courthouses) as a modern coworking space combining the quaint ambiance of a coffee shop with all of the amenities an attorney might need to conduct business.
“Our café is built by lawyers for lawyers,” says Rick Cruz, chief financial officer of LawConnect, the parent company for The Legal Café. “At LawConnect, our business model is focused on connecting lawyers and consumers via the web, and The Legal Café has been the natural evolution of that process where we provide our clients with a comfortable place to meet with their lawyers.”
From solo practitioners to out-of-town attorneys, The Legal Café offers everything a lawyer might need to run an office, including a private workspace to meet with clients, access to high-speed internet, and general office services. The general public can find a common café menu as well as qualified legal counsel.
“Our goal is to provide an operation that any lawyer would be proud to call their own office,” Cruz says.

The Legal Café is located at 114 Main St.
Aside from an effective workspace, The Legal Café’s model is focused on generating leads for its member attorneys. To help customers find a lawyer, the café has created an online platform that allows potential clients to complete a questionnaire that is tailored to their specific legal need and then passed along to member attorneys.
Cruz says The Legal Café is meant to enliven the experience of receiving legal counsel by bringing together the casual coffee shop vibe with cutting-edge innovation.
“The fact of the matter is that most law offices can be somewhat intimidating,” Cruz says. “Our relaxed, open concept offers a stress-free environment.”
The Legal Café plans to host a grand opening reception for legal professionals on Thursday. More information about The Legal Café is available here.
