The Best of Both Worlds with Venture X Holyoke
As a family law attorney, Jessica Swetcky Lang works with clients during the most challenging periods of their lives. It’s critical that she has a private area for her practice so that she can help guide them through the judicial process and offer them confidentiality.
With Venture X Holyoke, she’s found the perfect office on the second floor of the coworking space that provides a level of privacy and security for her clients, while also offering her a connection with other professionals.
“There’s still that atmosphere of camaraderie,” she said, “It’s nice having that dual purpose to the building, which I didn’t always get in other rented offices.”
The benefits of Venture X Holyoke extend beyond a confidential place to meet clients. Being in Holyoke is a midway point for attorney Swetcky Lang to appear in courts both in Hampden and Hampshire Counties. If the court is meeting virtually the private office is a quiet spot for her to work.
The icing on the cake is the convenience of the Venture X Holyoke location. It’s easy to find, right off of an I-91 exit and accessible by public transportation. Her clients can easily leave paperwork at the reception desk if Swetcky Lang is in court. Conveniently Venture X Holyoke is a midway point between Northhampton and Springfield so she can easily reach either courthouse. The free parking is a huge plus for everyone.
The Right Fit
Swetcky Lang found herself interested in family law while working as a paralegal after law school and gravitating towards those types of cases. She now works with cases that involve divorce, child-support, child-custody and state-intervention representing parents and children separated by the department of child services.
“When you’re doing family law you’re helping people,” she said. “Even though there’s nothing that will really help make someone feel better in those situations, it’s what can I do to help ease this burden for them.”
She aims to help clients understand the judicial process and guide them through it.
“My job is to try to make the process as easy as possible. It’s important that they understand what the process is because it can be difficult,” Swetcky Lang said.
Being in family law gives her an opportunity to help people and be a part of their lives, helping to guide them through a complex process.
“I feel it’s important to be able to help those people and be there for them in the best way that I can, to guide them through that process,” she said.
Making a Difference
Swetcky Lang has been in law for a decade and started her own practice three years ago. Being a family law attorney is rewarding but comes with its own challenges.
“I don’t practice the easy types of law,” Swetcky Lang said. “If I can help clients even a little bit, that means the most to me. I really want to ease their burden because it is a really difficult situation.”
She knows that clients who reach out to her have reached a point of needing her help, and she wants to make the process easier for everyone. She helps them understand the different laws and different courts, and provide them with all of their options which can vary from case to case.
Swetcky Lang had explored other coworking spaces specifically for attorneys, but found they lacked the private office at a higher price, plus the expense of parking. When she visited Venture X Holyoke she was pleasantly surprised at the affordable options available to meet the needs of her practice. Her clients are grateful for her new location as well, and it’s a good spot for her to help them with the next chapter of their lives.
