  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Shelley will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
