How to consult with your lawyer

If you have found a suitable lawyer, you should try and book an appointment with them, most firms need you to book in advance. You should be able to get an appointment within the next week.

A lawyer must comply with certain standards given to them by the Law Society. The lawyer must, for example, give you certain information at the first interview. The information should include.

• How the lawyer intends to deal with the problem
• What the lawyer's next step is
• Information about costs, which must be confirmed in writing as soon as possible after the interview
• The expected timescale of the case.

You should make sure you prepare all data that you need in advance, and bring it with you. It also helps if you prepare the questions you need to ask the lawyer well in advance, so you know exactly what you want to ask and talk about.

Make sure you go away from the meeting knowing that you have asked everything you wanted to.
