Preparing for your consultation

If you are nervous about your first consultation with a solicitor you are not alone. Here are some key tips to help you prepare and get the most out of your 45-minute free consultation.

  • Two forms of identification (for anti-money laundering processes)
  • Proof of address (such as a utility bill)
  • A brief explanation of your issues
  • A chronology of key dates
  • In the case of divorce, a summary of your financial assets
  • A copy of any relevant documentation, such as solicitors’ letters received, court orders, upcoming hearings or pre-nuptial agreements

It is worth preparing a list of the key questions you want answered.

No, we do not provide services funded by legal aid, but we can point you in the right direction. 

The solicitor that conducted the consultation will follow up with you about any further questions you may have and suggest next steps.
