Your first meeting with a lawyer is just around the corner, and you can’t shake the feeling of uncertainty. Perhaps you’re embroiled in a family dispute, facing a complicated business contract issue, or seeking advice on a personal injury claim. You want to make the most of your consultation, but you’re not entirely sure what to bring or how to start.
Step-by-Step Checklist: Begin by organising all relevant documents—contracts, emails, photographs, and financial records—anything that might support your case. Next, outline the key points you need clarified: Is it understanding the legal timeline, exploring possible strategies, or gauging potential outcomes? Write down specific questions so you don’t forget them mid-discussion. Consider setting realistic goals for the meeting—what is the one thing you absolutely must learn or achieve? Finally, research the lawyer’s background to ensure their specialisation aligns with your legal matter. With this approach, you’ll walk into the consultation feeling calm and prepared.
