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. Start with the injury or defense concern. Identify whether local papers concern a court disposition or citation copy, or Police-maintained material such as a report, body-camera footage or 911 recording, keeping the corresponding request-channel label with each inquiry.
Bring your timeline, existing-document list and questions together. For an injury matter, group incident-related documents with materials about its effects. For criminal defense, keep papers identifying the matter and related communications. Retain the East Point court or Police source label with each record or inquiry so you can identify the item behind a question.
