A legal consultation is a structured conversation. You describe your situation, share the documents you have, and the advocate helps you understand the legal questions involved and the options that may be available.
Preparation makes consultations more useful. A short written timeline of events, copies of relevant documents, and a list of your questions help the discussion stay focused on what matters.
A consultation does not commit you to any course of action. Its purpose is to give you enough understanding of your position to decide, without pressure, what you want to do next.
