Good legal intake starts with good documentation. Readers are in a stronger position when they can quickly explain what happened, when it happened, and what records support the timeline.
Documents worth collecting first
Start with denial letters, claim notices, contracts, pay stubs, screenshots, receipts, medical records, employer messages, and any deadline notice tied to the dispute.
Create a short chronology
Write out the key dates in order: the event itself, the first notice, every follow-up, any denial or adverse action, and any deadline you have already been given.
