If you are concerned about harassment, privacy or unauthorized access, start with the specific events and records you want an attorney to review. This page explains how to prepare a legal inquiry. It does not identify the cause of an individual’s experiences or verify an allegation about a particular person, organization or technology.
Start with what you observed
Describe what happened in plain language, including dates and any communications you received. Distinguish what you personally observed from what you suspect or do not yet know. You do not need to identify a technology or use legal terminology to ask whether the firm can assist.
Organize the information you already have
- A short timeline of specific events and dates.
- Relevant messages, notices, court papers or other existing records.
- Any approaching hearing, court or response date.
- The questions you would like an attorney to consider.
Keep the original records available. The initial contact form only needs a brief, general overview and a safe way to reach you. Do not include confidential case details, identification numbers, medical records or sensitive documents. Wait for our team to explain a suitable way to share additional information.
Confirm the next step with our team
Our team will confirm whether your inquiry falls within the firm’s services, whether a consultation is available, and the proposed consultation format and any fee before you book. An inquiry does not guarantee that the firm can accept your matter, provide a specialist investigation, or achieve a particular result.
Submitting a request does not book an appointment, extend a deadline or create an attorney-client relationship. Consultation arrangements and any later representation are separate decisions. Ask the team to explain the proposed scope and fees before you decide whether to proceed.
