meeting with one's attorney - Gretchen's advice

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Just be honest with your attorney, explain CMT simply and clearly,

concentrate on how your symptoms affect you and do not mention the

word 'disabled' or say 'I am disabled'. Let him use that word.

Especially talk about how your symptoms affect you in relation to work;

also be sure to mention you've been on medical leave from work since

Feb.

Your attorney will just ask questions, trying to get an understanding

of CMT, how it affects you, and because of this you are unable to work.

Just answer/talk normally and give the facts.

Attorneys working in this field are some of the 'kindest' attorneys I

have ever known, so relax!

Let me know how it goes.
