Tips to Get the Most Out of an Attorney Consultation

Go with a Goal

When you book an appointment you should have an idea of what you want to accomplish. Do you need advice? Do you want to explore all your options? Decide what it is you are looking for and lead with that. It is much easier for you both to be on the same page if you are clear about your expectations at the beginning.

Be Prepared

Time is money, and being prepared will save time. Before your meeting, consider drafting notes to prepare for your meeting. Additionally, make sure to bring all relevant documents with you at the time of your appointment. The quicker you can effectively get through the facts the faster you can get the legal counseling that you came for.

Just the Facts

This is probably the most difficult advice to follow, but try to limit the emotional part of your story. Most often people visit attorneys when they are emotional. Something upsetting has happened or needs to be discussed. Try to focus your energy into staying on topic. Limit, as best you can, statements about your feelings and stick to the fact pattern. Stay focused and be productive. This will keep your meeting moving and allow you to get to the advice you came for in the first place.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to ask questions during your meeting and at the end. Go into your meeting with a list of questions that you would like answered. You absolutely want to ask questions regarding your legal options, fees, time, and likelihood of success. By the end of your meeting, you should feel comfortable that your concerns have been addressed and confident that your selected lawyer knows what they are talking about.
