legal consultation

Lawyer advice session

A legal consultation is a meeting with a lawyer to discuss a legal matter, typically before deciding whether to hire them or proceed with a case.

Many attorneys offer free or low-cost initial consultations: I scheduled a legal consultation to understand my options after the accident.

The session usually covers the basics of your situation and potential strategies.
