Prepare for a Better First Call
A short preparation pass helps us move faster from intake to strategy. You do not need every item, but each piece of context improves decision quality.
- List any urgent deadlines, hearing dates, or insurer response windows.
- Bring all citations, warrants, bond documents, or release conditions.
- Collect available medical records, crash reports, and treatment updates.
- Save photos, videos, and witness contact information in one place.
- Do not post case facts publicly while legal strategy is being developed.
- Identify the best callback number and safest times to reach you.
- Prepare a short timeline of key events in date order.
- Flag any prior legal actions that may affect current strategy.
