Overview of Legal Process and Client Interaction

Key Points in Client Communication

• The attorney informs the client about the sentence, marking a significant point of contact in the legal process.

• Compared to other benefits like BPC, there are more points of contact due to multiple required expert evaluations (two administrative and two judicial).

• Each evaluation requires separate instructions for clients, as different experts (INSS vs. justice system) have varying procedures.
