Your first meeting with a lawyer is the foundation of your case. Arriving prepared means better advice, sooner.
Documents
- Any notice, summons or court papers you have received
- Agreements, deeds or contracts connected to the matter
- Letters, emails and messages with the other side
- Receipts and proof of payments
A written timeline
Write down the key events in date order. It does not need to be polished; it helps the lawyer understand the story quickly.
Your questions
Note what you want to know: likely outcomes, costs, timelines. A good lawyer will answer these plainly.
