Prepare for a first conversation or records inquiry
- For an injury matter, organize a concise account of what happened, when it happened, and how the injury relates to another party’s conduct.
- For a criminal-defense matter, note the serious felony charge involved and gather any documents you already have about the matter.
- Use the first conversation to explain the general nature of the matter and identify appropriate next steps.
- For a City Hall or City Clerk inquiry, distinguish the municipal office from Long County offices.
- For a request to the County Board Office of the County Clerk, describe the specific Long County records sought.
- Choose inspection or copies on the County PDF only when requesting records maintained by that County Board office.
