Preparing for your first meeting with a lawyer | Cabinet ATTIVI
Information and documents that help explain your circumstances.
Prepare a clear chronology of events, dates, people involved and steps already taken. Separate facts you know from matters that need verification. This helps keep the meeting focused.
Collect contracts, correspondence, notices and relevant messages. Keep originals and prepare readable copies. Identify missing documents and flag any hearing or response dates when making contact.
Describe the outcome you seek and the difficulties you face. The initial discussion identifies issues, further documents and the scope of a possible engagement. Discuss fees and the proposed work with the firm.
