THE INITIAL MEETING BETWEEN CLIENT AND LAWYER

At the initial meeting between a client and a lawyer, the lawyer tries to learn the details of a case. The client is asked to fill out a fact sheet in which information about the accident and the consequences of the accident are sought. The client is asked to sign various paperwork including the following:

  • Authorizations for the Release of Medical Records
  • Applications for No Fault Benefits if the case involves a car accident
  • A Retainer Agreement setting forth the details of the Contingency Fee Agreement

It is at the initial meeting that the attorney-client relationship begins.
