Stressful situation causing anxiety

Can anyone on this forum advise me by answering this question .. I feel I want to confide my story with a lawyer. I need to relate an incident regarding a third party. My intention is to talk to the lawyer regarding what I have suffered due to the results arriving from this incident. The question is "can I ask the lawyer to document the event? in case of repercussions later from the third party?"

Thank you for your reply. The reason I never went to the police is because I was only threatened by someone but no actual assault took place. And I was worried for family members being targeted whilst at their business. If i had to tell the lawyer that I was personally threatened but didn't want to involve police ..would the lawyer be legally obligated to inform the police of the threat to my person?
