You have decided to retain me and signed a contract. Now you are about to have your first in-depth meeting about your case. Here is what to expect and how to prepare.

What to bring

This is your opportunity to tell me what happened. Come prepared with:

  • Any videos or documents you have related to the case
  • Names and contact information for any witnesses you want interviewed
  • Any questions you have about the case or the legal process

Topics to discuss

There are several things you should bring up at our meeting if they apply to you:

  • Pre-trial release conditions — If you are having issues with your release conditions and need them modified
  • Virtual hearings — If you need virtual hearings in the future for work, health, or transportation reasons
  • Open cases — If you have any open felony cases anywhere, including in other counties or states
  • Immigration concerns — If you have immigration or citizenship concerns that could be affected by this case
  • Family law — If you are in the middle of a family law or custody case that could intersect with this criminal matter
  • Firearm rights — If you are a gun owner or concerned about this case impacting your gun rights

What we will cover

At our meeting, we will spend time reviewing the evidence in your case, including any police reports or videos shared by the prosecutor's office. We will work to identify your goals for your case and discuss what options are available to you.

I will explain the next steps and what to expect from the court process — timelines, hearings, and the possible outcomes at each stage.

My goal

My goal is that you leave my office feeling heard, feeling like you understand the next steps, and feeling confident that you have a fierce advocate fighting for your rights. This is your case, and you deserve to understand every part of it.
