Independent Lawyer Has A Vision ? For Others' Business ...

BY JOE SHAHEELI/?There is an intensity about attorney Joseph Q. Mirarchi that is obvious and sincere. He?s married to his profession and it shows.

He moves through the average lawyer?s work day and then adds to his schedule night visits to clients at their homes or in hospitals, and wherever else duty calls, whenever it arises. He is devoted to being a lawyer who seeks to help those around him. His own personal vision has evolved in his 10 years of practice into one that promotes the same vision for other law firms and businesses.

The 45-year-old South Philadelphian is an all-around attorney. His practice covers the full spectrum of law. He can be found in court daily, handling probate and estate cases, criminal and family law (Dependency Court and Domestic Relations Court) cases or engaged at lengthy conference debates on behalf of his clients in personal injury, first-part insurance and corporate claims, and in lengthy civil-litigation cases. Name the problem, he?s ready to handle his client?s side of that problem.

He represents clients on either side of the litigations tables. He?s licensed in Federal Courts as well as in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Mirarchi is a solo practitioner ? a rare commodity among the thousands of lawyers in this City who, overwhelmingly, attach themselves to law firms, small and large.

That dedication is the one reason behind his founding of the Virtual Office Professional Services Co. located within in his office suite in Center City. It opens the doors for startup businesses and young lawyers to enjoy the full benefits of a major office facility in Center City at little cost. It even provides a perfect office location for out-of-county law firms and businesses to set up a satellite office in Center City.

Mirarchi went through that beginning phase himself, operating on a shoestring. ?Over my years of practice, I realized how difficult it was for young attorneys and small-business operators to get a foothold on working in Center City,? he explains. ?My clients felt better represented if they could call my office, or sit with me in that office at a conference table where I was able to put my hands on their files immediately. I found that to be the same with other entrepreneurs, especially startups, who needed to show they are for real and have a base of operations from which they can be reached.?

While growing his own practice, Mirarchi scouted for such a facility and found it in a 2,400-square-foot suite in the historic North American Building located at the corner of Broad & Sansom Streets. He actually worked on the suite with various contractors, ?configuring it in an elegant and distinguishable way so the office suite conforms in appearance to the needs of my tenants and not just that of my own,? he said. ?Virtual Office Professional Services, Inc. affords other people with the luxury of complete office space and base of operations, in the heart of the city, at fees tailored to each person?s budget.?

There exists a huge need for the services provided by Virtual Office Professional Services. Mirarchi discovered ?many lawyers work from home and still wish they could afford an office in Center City. But today?s ever-fluctuating economy just does not allow that business option for them.? The convenience of having an office near the courthouses was obvious for them.

By implementing this company in the form of a time-share concept, Mirarchi allows lawyers and other business persons to meet clients before and after court or other meetings, and have a place to pick up their mail from combination secured mailboxes and store files. In addition, Mirarchi noted, those using the Virtual Office can drop in anytime for daily access, where there is a business room with cubicles to work, a kitchen area to take a break with complimentary coffee and pastries, and private, distinguishable office space and conference room to meet with clients for presentations, meetings and depositions.

Other professional services are also available in the suite. These include but are not limited to secretarial, paralegal and investigative services.

Monthly rates, with the first month free, range from $75 to $350 depending on the number of services needed. Mirarchi and his Virtual Office Professional Services ?offer the most unique office share experience in Center City Philly without the Center City cost for rent.?

For additional information, one can call Mirarchi at (267) 428-1100 or take a virtual tour to see what the Office offers at www.VOPSINC.Net.
