Your First Virtual Legal Forms Visit

 If this is  your first visit with us, or if you are seeing us for a new matter, here is what we will be doing for you:
​
FIRST STEP: LEGAL HISTORY

After you have trained with our volunteer on how to use Zoom. Our scheduler will ask you to email to us explaining what happened to you and attach your documents. Once we receive these, we will give you dates and times that work best for you. 

Your first appointment, our volunteer will help you complete your legal history. This may take two appointments which are 1 hour long each. If we have space available, we will try to book you for a 2 hour appointment.


Recommended reading: Rights and Responsibility of AC Clients

SECOND STEP: ASSESSMENT SERVICE

If your matter is complex, you will receive an appointment to see a lawyer who is a specialist in your subject area. If your matter is in family law,  you will receive a 2 hour appointment; other areas of law receive 1 hour appointment. 
During the appointment, the lawyer will ensure you have a workable legal plan so the volunteers can help you work toward your goals. As part of this service, the assessing lawyer will do 3 things:
  1. draft a written Legal Plan that our volunteers can follow. A plan might list the various forms needed to proceed with your case;
  2. make sure your are not wanting to pursue any legal processes that are, in one way or another, seriously misguided; and 
  3. warn you of any risks.
​​​
​USEFUL TO BRING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT:
your government issued ID, library card or document showing your name and address;
legal documents, if applicable;
all related documents (agreements, emails, pictures, etc); and
if you do not have an email address, a USB drive to save your documents (we do not keep your documents).
