The first consultation: the first step towards a solution

Facing a family law issue, whether it's a separation, divorce, or child custody matters, is a delicate moment fraught with uncertainty. Understanding your rights, duties, and possible paths forward is crucial for making informed decisions. The first meeting with a lawyer represents the key step to gain clarity and define a strategy. As an expert family law attorney in Milan, Avv. Marco Bianucci has structured the first consultation as a moment of active listening and strategic analysis, aimed at providing a clear and realistic vision of the path to take.

What happens during the first meeting

The first consultation is not a mere formality, but a strategic working meeting. The objective is twofold: to allow you to explain the situation and understand the professional's approach, and to enable the lawyer to gather all the necessary elements for a comprehensive preliminary assessment. Generally, this first appointment is divided into several phases, each with a specific purpose to build the foundation for a solid defense of your interests.

Situation analysis and information gathering

The first moment is dedicated to listening. You will be invited to recount the facts in detail, without omitting any aspect you deem relevant. The lawyer will ask targeted questions to delve into crucial points and to frame the matter from a legal perspective. It is essential to provide a complete and truthful picture, as every detail can influence the strategy. During this phase, necessary documents will also be discussed, such as marriage certificates, family status certificates, tax returns, and any other documentation relevant to your specific case.

Legal framework and objective definition

Once the information is gathered, the lawyer will translate your personal situation into the language of law. You will be explained the applicable regulations, the procedures to follow, and the possible outcomes, whether through a consensual agreement or a judicial process. This is the moment to define concrete and achievable objectives: what do you wish to achieve? What are your priorities? Clarity on these points is essential to develop an effective and personalized action plan, taking into account your real needs and those of your family members, especially children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents should I bring to the first consultation?

Although each case is different, it is generally useful to bring personal identification documents (ID card, tax code, marriage certificate, family status certificate), recent income and asset documents (tax returns, bank statements, land registry searches), and any communications or documents already received from the opposing party. In any case, an initial list will be provided when booking the appointment.

How long does the first meeting last and what does it cost?

The duration of the first consultation is variable and depends on the complexity of the situation to be examined; generally, about an hour is needed for an in-depth analysis. Regarding costs, these are communicated with the utmost transparency before the meeting and are commensurate with the time and effort required for the preliminary assessment of the case. Clarity on costs is a fundamental element of the trust relationship between client and lawyer.

Is the first consultation binding?

Absolutely not. The first meeting has an informational and assessment purpose. At the end of the consultation, you will be free to decide whether and how to proceed, with no obligation to entrust the mandate to the firm. The objective is to provide you with all the tools to make a thoughtful and informed decision about the professional who will assist you.

What happens if an agreement cannot be reached with the opposing party?

If a consensual path is not feasible, the lawyer will explain the phases and timelines of the judicial proceedings. A litigation strategy will be defined to protect your interests before the Court, assisting you in every phase of the dispute with competence and determination.
