Organize the information you have
Before speaking with counsel, collect the documents and notices available to you and note the dates and people associated with them. A straightforward timeline can help distinguish what you directly know from what you have been told, while a written list of questions can keep the discussion focused.
Keep relevant communications and other records together in their original form. If a document refers to a date or instruction, record it accurately and raise any uncertainty rather than assuming what it requires or whether it can change.
