1/  Don’t hold anything back

• Any call you have with a licensed lawyer is 100% confidential.
• The information you provide is legally protected.
• That means being honest with your lawyer is key, since the only way they can provide the best legal advice is if they have all the information.

2/  Write down key points

• Before your consultation, you should take a few minutes to write down the events that led you to being charged with driving while under suspension.
• Write those points down in chronological order.
• Doing this will make sure you convey what happened in the most time-efficient manner.
• And that will allow the lawyer to devote more time to your free call giving you advice instead of asking clarifying questions as to what happened.

3/  There are no bad questions

• A driving while under suspension charge is serious with serious consequences including a mandatory 6-month driving suspension.  And in some cases, you may face jail time.
  
• You will be facing a legal process that is very likely new to you.  That means there are a lot of unknowns.
• In this context, understand there are no bad questions
• Ask whatever you are concerned about – even if you think it’s a “bad” question. It’s probably not.
