What to Bring to the Consultation

Your consultation with Edwards & Associates will be much more productive if we are provided certain documents. If you have a large number of documents, please make copies prior to your arrival, so we can spend the consultation time discussing your case, rather than making copies. If you do not have access to all of the documents, you can bring them to our office later. Prior to the consultation, fill out a case intake sheet and email it to us.
