After ensuring that the lawyer you are going to meet is competent to handle your case (in fact, lawyers are often specialized by subject), you should prepare a summary of your request.

This step is particularly important for several reasons. First of all, it allows you to calmly rethink all the elements of your request and to formulate them clearly. It is not uncommon for ideas that seem clear a priori to be less so when spoken. Writing a summary of your application will allow you, while proofreading, to ensure that the presentation is as clear as possible. This is important so that the lawyer knows how best to help you.

In addition, preparing a summary of the situation upstream helps maintain a certain objectivity. Indeed, in some cases, it can be difficult to keep a cool head. This is the case for divorce, inheritance, land disputes or other disputes relating to companies. Writing a summary of your requests can allow you to take a step back and thus give an accurate account of the situation.
