How to prepare to meet with your legal representative
Meeting with a legal representative can be an overwhelming experience. We understand that it may be challenging to know what to expect or what information to bring. You may have some questions in mind, such as
- What information and documents do I need to take?
- What questions will the person be able to answer?
- What questions can I even ask them?
- Will they be able to help me with my case right away?
These questions are hard to figure out if you have never interacted with a legal representative.
