Making It Easier for Your Lawyer
When you’re dealing with a crappy situation, circumstance or person, are you making it easier when it comes to the materials you may be handing eventually to your lawyer or to a lawyer when you hire them? My name is Loren Weisman.
I’m a brand communications and optics strategist. And many people, when they’re dealing with some kind of situation or some person, you notice patterns, issues with how they behave, what they share inside of text, inside of emails, inside of actions, inside of letters.
Send in all of this. It’s going to be a lot easier and a lot more affordable and take a lot less hours to prove your point and to get a greater understanding for legal assistance.
Saving Emails, Texts and a Note Sheet
If you have these materials organized, save the emails, save the text, Download them into PDFs, create a little spreadsheet and a note sheet of the experiences that you’re going through. This happened on this given day.
Backing Each Point With Proof
This happened here. Again, share it subjectively. Set it up so that when it comes to a discovery with a lawyer, as opposed to you rolling out all sorts of things, forgetting all sorts of things, misrepresenting, maybe even getting it wrong, that as it happens, you’re bullet pointing down what has occurred, you’re backing it up with the proof, you’re substantiating it with here’s what I said.
No, this person never texted back this. No, I this is what I texted back. Here’s the text I have saved. Be prepared and you can help your lawyer to perform better for you as well as cost you that much less if you’ve made it easier on them.
That’s all I got.
