Car Accidents & What You Should Bring to Your First Attorney Meeting
by David A. Cardon, Esquire


Dear Mr. Cardon,
I was in a car accident and have scheduled an appointment to meet with an attorney. What should I expect from the initial attorney meeting? Should I bring anything with me?

Mr. Cardon replies:
Every law firm is different and depending on where you go, you can expect different things from your initial attorney meeting. Before you schedule a meeting with an attorney, you may want to ask the attorney the following questions:

Who will I be meeting with? Some attorneys do not meet with you until after a paralegal has first met you and evaluated your case. If you do not want to meet with someone other than the attorney, make sure you ask about the procedure for that particular firm before you schedule a meeting.

Is there a fee for the initial attorney meeting? Most attorneys do not charge a fee for an initial client meeting when the case involves a personal injury claim. However, to be sure, you should ask if the firm charges a fee before scheduling a meeting.
