Whether you're meeting with a personal injury attorney or you've decided to file for bankruptcy, it pays to be fully prepared. Most people only deal with lawyers occasionally, so the expert attorneys at Curt Davis Law Office PLLC in Somerset, KY have some tips for making sure you're ready for your initial meeting.

• A successful lawyer/client relationship depends a great deal on interpersonal communication dynamics, so don't be surprised if the lawyer wants to spend a little time getting to know you. Don't rush into things—this is a time for both you and your lawyer to decide if you want to work together.
• Prepare a chronological account of your case, concentrating especially on the dates of key events in your dispute. This will help your lawyer get a clear idea of the nature of your case.
• Also prepare a list of questions you want to ask, including how he or she has handled similar cases in the past, fees, and other pieces of information you may forget in the moment.
• Collect all documentation you'll need to prove your case, including any contracts, emails, accident reports, and employee handbooks in workers comp cases. Try to get them organized so you don't waste time hunting for particular pieces of evidence in your meeting.
• If your lawyer has sent you a questionnaire beforehand, make sure you fill it out before you arrive.
