FAQs

How should I prepare for my first meeting and what can I expect?

The first meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I will ask questions to understand your situation and explain the legal process to you. This is also your chance to share your concerns, ask questions, and learn how I can help. It’s a safe, judgment-free space where we work together to plan the next steps.

It’s helpful to bring any relevant documents related to your case, such as court orders, medical records, correspondence, or agreements. Write down key details about your situation and any questions you have. This will help ensure that our conversation is focused and productive.

What if I don’t understand the legal process or terminology?

Don’t worry! It’s my job to make the legal process as clear and straightforward as possible. I will take the time to explain everything in plain language and ensure you understand your rights, responsibilities, and the steps involved in your case.

How long will my case take?

The timeline for resolving a case depends on the specific circumstances and legal processes involved. While some cases are resolved quickly, others may take longer due to court schedules or the complexity of the matter. I will provide an estimated timeline after reviewing the details of your case and will keep you informed as things progress.

Can I trust that my information will remain confidential?

Absolutely. Everything you share with me is protected by attorney-client privilege and will remain confidential. You can feel safe sharing personal details about your case, knowing that your privacy is a top priority.
