Great news as our very good friends Ontime Windows go from strength to strength. This fabulous business is growing and it’s no surprise as Steve and his team always go above and beyond to exceed their customer’s expectations. Well done all those involved and we wish you every continued success.

Preparing for Your Legal Consultation: Dos and Don'ts from Robson & Co. Solicitors

A legal consultation is a crucial step in addressing your legal matters. To ensure that you make the most out of this opportunity, Robson & Co. Solicitors offers guidance on how to prepare effectively. Here are some dos and don'ts to consider:

1) Do:

- Gather All Relevant Documents: Compile any documents related to your case, including contracts, correspondence, and any other pertinent information that can help your solicitor understand your situation.
- Prepare a List of Questions: Think about what you need to know from your solicitor and write down your questions in advance. This ensures you don’t forget to address any concerns during the consultation.
- Be Clear About Your Goals: Understand what you wish to achieve with your legal action. Communicating your objectives clearly can help your solicitor provide tailored advice.
- Be Honest and Open: Full disclosure is crucial. Providing your solicitor with all the facts, even those that may seem unfavourable, is essential for accurate legal advice.

2) Don't:

- Withhold Information: Omitting details can hinder your solicitor's ability to offer effective advice and may lead to complications in your case.
- Assume Anything: Legal matters often involve complexities that might not be immediately obvious. Allow your solicitor to explain the nuances of your case and legal principles that apply.
- Forget to Discuss Costs: Understanding the cost of legal services is important. Don’t hesitate to ask about fees, billing practices, and any other costs associated with your case.
- Ignore Your Solicitor’s Advice: While you may not always hear what you were hoping for, legal advice is grounded in law and experience. It’s important to consider your solicitor’s recommendations seriously.

At Robson & Co. Solicitors, we are committed to providing our clients with comprehensive legal support. Preparing effectively for your consultation can help us serve you better and ensure a more successful outcome for your legal matters.
