What to Bring to Your First Meeting With Your Attorney
When you’re preparing for your first appointment with an attorney, knowing what to bring can save you time, help reduce stress, and will help your lawyer give you sound legal counsel. At Worthington & Weiss, we want to make sure your first visit goes smoothly so that we can immediately focus on protecting your rights and moving your case forward. Whatever you’re legal issue, coming prepared during your in-person meeting will help us, to help you.
Identification and Contact Information
Bring your current contact information, such as your photo ID, current address, phone number, and email. Having this information on hand allows us to keep you informed as your case progresses.
Relevant Documents and Records
The more documentation you can provide, the better. For example, if your legal issue involves wrongful arrest, bring any police reports and other court filings. For criminal defense, bring your citation, warrant, or court paperwork. For lack of medical care in the jail, bring all medical records and police reports related to your case. These records give us the context we need to provide accurate advice from the start.
A Written Timeline or List of Questions
It can be difficult to remember every detail when you’re sitting across from your attorney. Whether it’s on your phone, typing, or even writing down a piece of paper, having a brief timeline of events or preparing a list of your main questions ensures that important details aren’t forgotten. This will help us quickly understand your concerns and provide the answers you need.
