Overall. Tell me what you want to happen in your life related to your legal issue. If I know your goals, I can help you better. Share all the facts with me - even facts that you think might be unimportant or may make you look bad. If you don’t, the advice I give you and my plan to help you might not be best for your situation. It can make things a lot worse if the judge or others involved in the case find out facts that I don’t know about. If my recommended plan for meeting your goals seems like more than you can or want to do, please let me know. We can look at other options. Sometimes, the legal system can result in more work than benefits, and problems may be best solved in other ways. Before you see me, think of questions you might have for me. Some people find it’s helpful to write down questions ahead of time. Let me know if you have a hard time getting the paperwork I need for your case. If that happens, I will try to help or find others who can. I’ll attach a list of some of the paperwork I will need and where you can get it. You may mail it to me or fax it to me (see my business card). Let me know if other legal issues come up as they may change how we work on this case. I will look for someone who can help you with the other legal issue(s), including VLN. If I am ever not being clear, please ask me to explain it again or in another way. I also will write down my advice or instructions so you can look it over later or with a friend. Please tell me: Are there any physical or mental disabilities you would like me to know about that may impact our work together? Are there any other legal or personal problems you’d like me to know about that may impact our work together?
