Prepare the first conversation

Keep local records correspondence identifiable
Keep your own account of events on a separate page from records supplied by an office or another person. For an injury matter, group the incident-related materials with records about its effects. For criminal defense, retain the papers identifying the matter and related communications in date order.
Use a separate list for documents you are still seeking, with the office contacted and subject of each inquiry. Keep any response beside the description that prompted it. Your Mableton municipal-record notes can then remain identifiable within the broader set of papers and questions prepared for the firm.
