Many people who are meeting with an attorney for the first time are nervous and do not know what to expect. Below, you will find our advice for people who have never spoken with an attorney before. If you follow this advice, you will maximize the productivity of your first visit.

Write a List of Questions
We encourage you to come to your first meeting with a list of questions that you can refer to. When you are at your first meeting, you will find it easier to remember everything that you and your loved ones wanted to ask if you have written the questions down.
Prepare Your Contact Information
When you visit our law offices, we will want to know who you are and how to best contact you. Be prepared to provide your: home address, work address, employer’s name and address, home phone number, mobile phone number, and email address.
Bring Copies of All Relevant Documents
If you have any documents that are relevant to your case, we encourage you to bring them with you to your first meeting. These papers will enable us have a better understanding of your case and allow us to give you more accurate legal advice.
What constitute relevant documents will depend on your legal problem. For example, if you’ve been in a car accident you should bring: copies of a police report, medical records, receipts, correspondence from the insurance companies, the other driver’s information, estimates and repair records, and financial information related to any wage loss (pay stubs or recent tax returns).
