What To Bring to Attorney Consultation

[RNY09]

I have a first consultation with an attorney this afternoon. I have most of my records together, but I'm wondering if I'm forgetting anything. I can't imagine he would need EVERYTHING as if I'm actually filing today for just a consultation, but.....His receptionist didn't mention bringing anything, but that wouldn't make sense either.

What did you guys bring?

I had a checklist of items to bring.. which was just about everything that I would to file.
I didn't actually have all those items with me however, as I was not yet even sure I was going to file.

I would at least take your last 6 months worth of paystubs, a list of all your bills/collections/debts and copies of your credit reports.
This should be enough to get started and go over your options.

I, too, was given a list of things to bring that seemed to be most of what I'd need to file. I had to take 2 years of taxes, 6 months pay stubs, all bills for anyone we owe money to, and I think I'm forgetting a couple of things.
