Divorce & Family Law
If you were served with any court paperwork, it is very important to bring this with you. You also may need to bring a copy of your original certified marriage certificate or your child’s original certified birth certificate if you need to file for divorce or a paternity action. Sometimes it is often helpful to have copies of recent tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and other documents bearing numbers that may be lying around your home or office if child support or alimony may be at issue. Lastly, if you happen to have found that singularly incriminating love note or videotape, bring that along as well. If you have anything that you believe might be important for us to review, you may bring that as well.
Bankruptcy & Debt Relief
You should be prepared to bring copies of any documents related to your financial situation, including a comprehensive list of all your debts, including credit cards, loans, medical bills, personal loans, and any other outstanding obligations. If you have a recent credit report, this will also be helpful to bring. This will help the attorney verify your debts and obtain a more complete picture of your financial situation. If you are involved in any ongoing lawsuits, foreclosures, or garnishments, bring relevant legal documents related to these matters.
Also, consider writing down any specific questions or concerns you have about bankruptcy and your financial situation, so you don’t forget to address them during the consultation.
Remember that the more information you can provide, the better we can evaluate your case and provide you with appropriate advice tailored to your circumstances. If you’re unsure about any specific documents, it’s always a good idea to call our office in advance to ask what we recommend bringing to the consultation.
