Preparing for Your First Legal Consultation
Write down a clear timeline, collect the documents directly connected with the issue and identify upcoming deadlines. Bring names of the relevant people and organisations, copies rather than irreplaceable originals where possible, and a short list of your main questions.
Be candid about facts that may appear unhelpful. Complete information allows legal advice to account for risk instead of being surprised by it later.
An initial conversation does not guarantee acceptance of a matter. The office may need to complete conflict and capacity checks first.
