Why do people say that? Does that imply all other comments without the “not a legal advice” note, are legal?
- giantg2 1y agoI think it's a fear tactic of the legal cabal. I've had a judge tell me that I can't help my wife fill out a legal document because that could constitute "practicing law" or "providing legal opinion". It's super ridiculous, but that's how they operate.
