During the initial consultation with an attorney, the client should bring any documents related to their legal matter. This may include contracts, purchase orders, invoices, or any other relevant legal documents. If the matter pertains to personal injury, medical records, police reports or photos of the scene of the accident, if available, would be useful. In the case of a family or matrimonial matter, clients may need to bring records regarding their assets, such as bank statements or deeds, or records about their children, such as school records. It is crucial to arrive on time for the scheduled consultation and to be prepared to answer relevant questions and provide information regarding the case. The client should be ready to ask questions of their own in order to gain an understanding of what the attorney's services may entail and what outcomes can be expected.
