8 QUESTIONS AT YOUR FIRST MEETING
It may seem strange for a lawyer to give advice that would help a meeting go more swiftly, but that could explain why I don’t drive a Mercedes! If you’re preparing for your first meeting with your Family Lawyer, then be prepared to answer the 8 questions below, and get the most out of your meeting (and in a shorter amount of time!)
Although everyone’s circumstances are different, in my experience there are things that I always need to know before I can give clear Family Law advice. I need to know the full picture, even if your separation or divorce is amicable.
In order to make the best use of your time with your lawyer it is useful to know the types of questions that you are likely to be asked in order that you can prepare your answers to these.
I have found that when people don’t know the answer to some of these questions, I have been unable to give detailed advice and often people need to come back for another appointment once they have all the information. If you are living outside of Perth, and your lawyer is in Perth, traveling can also be an added cost.
