Prepare a focused first conversation
The firm describes the first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Begin with whether you are seeking personal injury representation or criminal defense and the events that led you to make contact.
Bring your existing-document list, timeline and questions together. If your materials include correspondence with Tucker’s City Clerk, keep that city office label with the exchange. Retain the exact court or agency names on other papers so you can identify the original source of a document behind a question.

For criminal defense, keep documents identifying the matter and communications together. Maintain a separate list of records still being sought, with the office contacted about each inquiry.
