Below is a list of top 5 things you should know when meeting with lawyer, selected by our editors from various online sources and own experience.

1. Meeting with a lawyer is a business meeting, unless you bbq. Dress and behave as you would at a business meeting.
2. Prepare for the meeting. Have your questions ready. Plan ahead.
3. Attorney-client privilege means privacy. Be honest and tell the truth.
4. Be ready to pay attorney fees. Not always you can be offered "pay after you win the case"
5. Bring your sound recording device and record the conversation. You may want to get a transcription of your meeting.
6. Ultimate advice: try to live your life in a such way - you won't need a lawyer. To sue some one is not a pleasant thing.
