Scheduling a consultation with an attorney can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re facing a legal issue for the first time. At Giles Law, we strive to make the process straightforward, respectful, and informative so you leave your consultation with clarity and confidence.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. A Warm Welcome

From your first call with our office, our goal is to make you feel supported. Our staff will gather some preliminary information and run a conflict check to ensure we can ethically represent you.

2. Preparation Before the Meeting

Ahead of your paid consultation, we encourage you to provide any documents relevant to your matter. Our assigned attorney will review these materials in advance, which will allow us to use your consultation time more efficiently. Our consultations include up to 30 minutes of documentation review, prior to your 30-minute consultation.

What to Submit for Your Paid Consultation

To help us prepare and make the most of your consultation, please send:

• Key Documents – contracts, agreements, wills, trusts, leases, or court filings directly related to your matter.
• Important Communications – letters, emails, or notices that show the dispute or issue at hand.
• Supporting Materials – any records, photos, or reports that clarify the situation.

Only materials directly relevant to your consultation are needed—we’ll let you know if more information becomes necessary later.

3. A Focused Conversation

During your consultation, you’ll meet with one of our attorneys who will listen carefully to your situation and goals. We’ll ask questions to understand the facts and context, and we’ll share preliminary impressions about potential strategies or challenges.

We approach every consultation with integrity and candor—that means you can expect clear, honest feedback about your case.

4. Discussion of Next Steps

By the end of the consultation, you should have a better idea of how your matter might proceed. While each case is unique, this may include:

• An overview of potential legal strategies
• Likely timelines for resolution
• What role our team will play in moving your case forward
• Key information we’ll need from you along the way

5. Clarity of Fees and Deposits

Transparency is a cornerstone of how we work. We’ll explain our fee structures including advance fee deposit requests, plus our payment terms, etc. If you decide to retain our firm, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of what that relationship will look like—no surprises.

6. Respect and Professionalism Throughout

We understand that legal matters are often stressful and personal. Our attorneys and staff are committed to treating you with respect, professionalism, and empathy from start to finish. Whether you retain us or not, our goal is that you walk away from your consultation feeling heard, informed, and better equipped to make decisions about your case.
