The first meeting with a lawyer is an important step in understanding a legal problem correctly. A little preparation significantly increases what you get out of it.
Write down events in order
Writing short notes on what happened in date order helps both you and the lawyer see the whole picture.
Gather your documents
Bring everything related to the matter, such as contracts, official letters, notifications, correspondence, photos and payment records. If you are not sure whether a document is important, bring it anyway.
Note your questions
Writing down the questions you want to ask prevents important points from being missed.
Choose how to meet
The first meeting can take place in person at the office, by phone or by video call. If you are outside Ankara, an online meeting is a practical option. Meetings can be held in Turkish or English.
Conversations with your lawyer are covered by professional secrecy; explaining your situation openly and completely is important for an accurate assessment.
