This guide is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Each situation is unique. **Before Your Consultation** Coming prepared to a legal consultation allows the attorney to understand your situation more quickly and use the available time efficiently. **1. Create a timeline of events** Organize events in chronological order, from the beginning of the matter to the present. Include specific dates when you remember them. Do not omit details you consider unimportant, let the attorney evaluate their relevance. **2. Gather key documents** Bring copies (not originals) of documents related to your matter: contracts, correspondence, notices, resolutions, photographs, receipts, and others. Organize them by date or topic. **3. List the names of parties involved** Include full names of persons or entities related to the matter, including potential adverse parties. This is necessary for the conflict review process. **4. Prepare your questions** Write down the questions you want to ask the attorney. Consultations are two-way conversations. **5. Be honest and complete** The attorney is on your side. To help you effectively, they need to know all relevant facts, including those that may be unfavorable to you. Information shared in the consultation is protected by attorney-client privilege. **Remember:** An initial consultation is a preliminary evaluation. It does not mean the firm has accepted your case. Formal representation begins after conflict review and the signing of an engagement agreement. *This information is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.*
