This information will help you prepare for a first interview with a lawyer.

Introduction 

This guide describes 4 steps to take before you see a lawyer. Before you see your lawyer, try to organize all your important information or documents so you and your lawyer can make the best use of your time together and focus on the legal parts of your problem.  

This guide provides general information on preparing for an appointment with a lawyer. It does not explain the law. Legal advice must come from a lawyer, who can tell you why you should do something in your case or whether you should take certain actions.

The better prepared you are for the interview, the better advice the lawyer can give you.
