5 Important Tips On How You Should Talk To An Attorney

• Be organized.  Make sure you explain your story precisely. It would be ideal to gather information to prevent you from missing anything while speaking to the attorney. Jot down any important details in your journal or diary. You should include the date and time of each entry. If witnesses have agreed to take part in your case, input their name and phone number, as well. Have images or footage saved of the incident, only if you have any saved. If the incident caused you to go to the hospital or schedule a doctor’s appointment, make sure to have a copy of your medical record. Lastly, if police officers were at the scene of the accident or crime, you should have their name, badge number, license number, and copy of the official police report. The more detailed evidence you provide to an attorney, the easier it will be for them to handle your case.  

• Be specific. Every detail matters. As previously stated before, it is important to write down and save evidence for your case. This will help you speak to the attorney without missing any specific factor, such as names, phone numbers, insurance information, and so on. 

• Be truthful. Do NOT lie when speaking to an attorney. You both are on the same side. You must prepare yourself to explain your case to your attorney. Do not worry about your attorney releasing confidential information to anyone else. They will not do this unless you give them permission to do so. Providing the right facts will help you get the best end-result in your case. 

• Ask questions. If your attorney is talking about certain topics you have no knowledge of, do not be afraid to ask. You both have to be on the same page with each other to get an idea of what would be the next ideal step to take to help you win your case. Ask your attorney questions. They will break down what they were talking about to get you to understand what is going on. 

• Keep the attorney up-to-date. Throughout the process of your case, you will experience changes. It is up to you to inform your attorney up anything that pops up. They must know every detail, even those that are small, but still relevant. This will help them comprehend what is currently happening with the case and how they could tackle down the problem.
