What Should I Bring To My Free Consultation?
Bring These Items To Your Free, No Obligation, Consultation With An Attorney
The free consultation with a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney is to provide answers to your questions on the spot. If you bring as much information as you have to your consultation, you can usually get a pretty good picture from the attorney of what lies ahead. Having more information with you means that you will have a more productive discussion with the attorney about your case. While we can can get a lot of these items on our own, your attorney relies on the information that you bring for the consultation in accepting or rejecting your case.
