There are so many elements to the legal process, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. When it comes time to present your case to potential lawyers, you want to ensure they receive all the information possible for them to make an informed decision on working with you. 

Here are some things we recommend getting together for your consultation at Thompson Law: 

  1. Gather Documentation: The biggest help to you and your potential lawyer is to gather and organize any and all documents relevant to your case. This includes any documents written by you to recall the details of the incident. Such documentation may be emails, texts, reports, photos, medical records, contracts, memos, and any other paperwork you think should be included. 
    1. Make a Timeline: As best as you can, it is crucial to craft a timeline so your potential lawyer has an understanding of the timing of everything that has occurred. This would include times like the date of the incident, when your injury was discovered, when you were medically examined, who became involved when, etc. 
    2. Track Down Key Information: Write down any important information such as names of witnesses and others involved, contact information, addresses, the location of the incident, and any other information pertinent to anyone and anything else with bearing on your case. 
    3. Make Copies: It is vital that you have your documentation at all times. Having copies prepared will help you go through the information and the potential lawyer to follow along without the risk of you forgetting anything important at their office! 
    4. sense for you to communicate properly AND that will be easy for any type of mind to follow along with you as you explain. 
    5. Honesty is Key: The law is all about the facts. With any lawyer you meet, you need to be truthful. Some things may not put you in the best light, but without that knowledge, your lawyer will not be able to prepare as well to present your case. 
    6. Write Down Questions: Come up with a list of questions you have for any potential lawyer, about them, the process, your case, financials, etc.  
    7. Present What You Want: You should communicate clearly to your lawyer what you would like to receive from this lawsuit should you be successful. They will help you come up with realistic and fair asks for your case. 
    REMEMBER: It is far better to over-prepare than under-prepare.
