STEP 3: DOCUMENTS TO SHARE AHEAD OF TIME
If your matter clears the conflict check, then please send some important information before the consultation.
Michelle is almost never amenable to looking at summaries prepared by potential clients unless the potential client is in-house counsel. Michelle very much prefers looking at source material, introduced by a short paragraph about the potential client’s goals. For example:
- If your matter concerns a residential landlord and tenant matter, then please send the subject lease chain and DHCR Rent Registration printout.
- If you are contacting Michelle about a commercial landlord and tenant matter, please send the entire lease chain and the guaranty.
- If you are contacting Michelle about doing your appeal, please send the lower court decision.
Having said this, in most circumstances, Michelle will not look at voluminous documents prior to or as part of a free consultation. If you send us a link to an online box filled with hundreds of documents, it is unlikely any of it will get looked at.
