Tip No. 1 – Don’t Lie To Your Lawyer
How can you expect to get good representation if you hold back information from your lawyer, bend the truth, or out-and-out lie? You can lie to your wife or family members, and even your best friend, but don’t lie to your lawyer. Lawyer/Client privilege protects what you say.

Without the truth, your lawyer can’t build an adequate case for you.
Tip No. 2 – Be Prepared
Be prepared when talking to your lawyer. The lawyer doesn’t want you to waste his time, and he certainly doesn’t want to waste your money. Be organized and ready to talk to your lawyer, honestly and extensively.
Tip No. 3 – Keep Your Lawyer Up to Date
You may have talked to your lawyer and then remembered an important fact. Make sure you tell your lawyer everything, even if you remember some important event after your meeting.
Tip No 4 – Be Clear with Your Instructions
Your lawyer isn’t a mind reader and can’t make decisions for you. Make sure you’re ready to provide clear instructions to your lawyer so the best job can be done for you.
Tip No. 5 – Telling Your Lawyer the WHOLE Story
Sifting through the information you present allows your lawyer to build a strong legal position for your case. Some points may not seem important to you, but to your lawyer, they may make the difference between innocence and guilt. Err on the side of caution, spill your guts to your lawyer.
