Is there any documentation I should bring to my first consultation?

·         Gather and organise all the documents relating to your matter and bring these to the first consultation.

·         You should make a list of all the relevant facts for example times and dates of the relevant events and names of other parties.

• For example if you have been in an accident of some sort whether it involved a motor vehicle or happened at your workplace it is important that you write down details on how the accident occurred including any injuries you sustained as a consequence of the accident.
• You may wish to draw a diagram of the accident and make a list of all the expenses you have paid relating to the accident.

·         This will enable your lawyer to understand what has happened.

·         You should also write down what outcome you want.

• For example if it is a child custody matter you should write down how many days a week you want to have the children and what changeover arrangements you want.

·         A list of any question you have about your matter and the process may also be helpful to you.
