Complaints and evidence

Preparing a consultation as a complainant or victim

Organising events and harm helps your lawyer assess your involvement without requiring you to identify the legal offence.

How to prepare

Record what happened and its consequences. Distinguish approximate dates from dates you can verify with documents.

Keep complete messages, receipts and available reports. Preserve original devices and avoid sharing other people’s information on social media.

Bring any complaint already filed and subsequent communications. Ask which records are needed before taking further steps to obtain them.

You can consult even if documents are missing. Mention any imminent date when booking.
