Full Conversation
First how much will my question cost?
Our service is completely free, ****. Now, could you please describe the legal issue you're facing?
I was searching for a financial advisor but before my 1st free consultion I was told to bring in all personal papers so they can see where they help me. But now I want to research more before sihning on with her. Can I rightfully get all my paperwork without any problems?
Did you sign any agreement or contract with the financial advisor that might limit your access to your personal papers?
No signing of anything
Since you haven't signed any agreement, you have every right to retrieve your personal documents. Always ensure to read and understand any document before signing.
Ok, so she can not refuse in giving me all my documents?
Yes, she cannot refuse. Your documents are your personal property and you have every right to retrieve them.
Can she delay for any amount of time before giving them back? Why I'm asking that I afraid she might make copies to keep
What state are you in? Laws regarding document retention and copying can vary by location.
Alabama
In Alabama, there's no specific law preventing her from copying your documents. However, without your consent, using them for any purpose could be a violation of privacy laws.
