A lawyer does not get even a single page of a law book for free—then how can his legal advice be expected for free?
Legal advice is not merely a few spoken words; it is the result of years of education, continuous study, courtroom experience, professional expenditure and responsibility. A lawyer’s time and knowledge deserve proper respect and remuneration. Free legal aid may be offered to the genuinely needy, but professional advice should never be taken for granted.
