The first meeting with a lawyer is a conversation in which we assess together your legal position, your goals and the possible steps. Prepare a short timeline of the key events and copies of the documents relating to your case.
At the meeting I usually first listen to your version of the events, then explain the legal framework and the general options. We also discuss what a realistic outcome would be and how long the proceedings usually take.
The first meeting does not mean you have to decide on representation. You decide only once you know the scope of work and the estimated costs, which we agree in writing.
