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.
