Understanding Your Free Case Assessment
It is helpful for you to have easy access to any documents related to your case, like charge sheets, court notices, police reports, and any communication with the police. However, we normally review these in detail after becoming your legal representation so they aren’t needed for your first conversation with us.
It is helpful if you have written down a detailed account of what happened, including dates, times, locations, and any witnesses or evidence you have. If you have a court attendance notice, bail notice, any documentation; that would help.
Yes, you can bring a friend or family member for support, but remember that attorney-client privilege only applies to you and your lawyer.
Be honest and detailed. Share a clear account of what happened, including any background info and potential witnesses.
Let your lawyer know about any interactions with the police, including statements made and documents signed. This info is crucial for your defence.
