What do I bring, or not bring, to a consultation or appointment?

If you’ve been served with any paperwork regarding a case that’s already begun, or have documentation that demonstrates the basis for your case, please bring those with you. We ask that all clients and potential clients refrain from bringing children into the office for any consultation or appointment. We ask that children not come to the office for several reasons. In family law cases, the children are often the subject matter of the pending litigation. A lawyer and the potential client are discussing adult matters which are not appropriate for children. And lastly, the attorney cannot fully concentrate and give your case the full attention it requires if your child is in the office and needs supervision, or if the conversations must be edited. If children must come to your consultation or appointment, we only ask that you bring another adult to supervise your child in the lobby. Our staff cannot be responsible for supervising children.
