Your first conversation
Bring what you have. Missing a report or record does not prevent you from contacting the firm. Discuss how to share sensitive material securely.

Unaltered messages, photos, video, medical information, and witness contact details.
A private timeline identifying the people present and the events before and after the accusation.
Questions about contact restrictions, living arrangements, work, and upcoming hearings.
Common questions
General information. Your circumstances require individual advice from an attorney.
Bring every page of the order and your bond paperwork. Ask the attorney to explain the specific contact, location, and other restrictions that apply to you. Do not rely on another person's informal description of what a court order permits.
