"Speak to a lawyer" does not mean "make legal threats". It's possible and even advisable for lawyers to do other things.

  Right. Lawyers are basically professional negotiators.

    The right lawyer. Lately, I've seen some lawyers work on Internet related matters, and basically just took customers' money. I'm suprised ABA hasen't offered specialization certification--like in medicine. I recently dated my brother's lawyer. Yes--it was a aweful. I went into it with an open mind. She talked about the lawyers in her office, and talked about the lawyers in her office, and talked about her law school, and of course had to tell everyone she was a Lawyer. At one point, in the evening someone asked me if I had legal trouble because of all the legal talk. I told him yea, as always, but this was just a bad date. At the end of the inquisition, she asked why I seemed tired. I actually told her the truth. She claimed if she was a guy, it wouldn't matter how much shop she talked, and I was insecure. I just agreed. On the drive home, I asked her some basic chapter 7 bankruptcy questions, and got most wrong. I then get a email from her office. Yea--kinda suprised. I thought "my judgement holder has my email address?". It was her, and she referred to herself as "That Lawyer you had dinner with?" Never again.
