We use it to decide whether (a) we should invite you to schedule a consultation/case review, (b) we should refer you elsewhere, or (c) we need more information first.
Deadlines matter.
Please answer date questions as precisely as you can. If you don’t know an exact date, give your best estimate and tell us what you used to estimate it (email date, pay period, calendar entry, etc.).
Be specific.
Short, concrete facts help us evaluate your options faster than general statements.

not
