Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
When presenting an attorney and/or lawfirm with the important particulars of your case, what info. should you give and what is too much for initial contact? Due to some potential complexities and/or circumstances of case it is my desire to first send a brief case synopsis to attorney in question. What should I send to inform but not overdo so attorney can consider case?
