CUSTODY FOLIO
CLIENT RECORDS CHECKLIST

Use this with the process your attorney already follows. Your attorney's instructions come first. No Folio account is needed.

1. Start with the actual request. Note the topic, date range, requested materials and any date your attorney gave you. Ask about anything unclear.
2. Give each item context. Include the event date, time if known and your description. Keep the date you wrote a note separate if different.
3. Keep the original beside your explanation. Identify related messages, photos, receipts or other files. Keep originals unchanged and explain how they relate.
4. Separate what you observed from what another person told you or a document records. Label uncertain details.
5. List anything requested that you could not find, along with your remaining questions.
6. Check the recipient and materials, then use the sharing method agreed with your attorney. Ask how urgent issues should be handled.
