How to Prepare for Your First Meeting With a Lawyer

Meeting a lawyer for the first time can feel nerve-racking. It doesn't have to be. A first meeting is just a conversation about what happened and what your options are.

What to bring

  • Any papers about your situation, like letters, contracts, or court papers
  • Photos, if they help explain what happened
  • A short timeline of important dates
  • Names of other people involved

Questions to ask

  • What are my options?
  • How long will this take?
  • What will it cost, and how do you bill?
  • Who will I work with day to day?

Be open and honest

What you share in a consultation is confidential. Tell the whole story, even the parts you're not proud of. It helps your lawyer give you real advice.

We offer free consultations in person, by phone, or by video. Pick a time online in about a minute.
