That's exactly been my experience with lawyers, in the many times I've talked to them. They don't give you an opinion until you pay them for it.

- TJensen 18y agoBased on the previous comment, I would call that ethics. Not providing an opinion on something he doesn't know about, especially coming as somebody who could very well be an expert, it something to be lauded, not ridiculed.
- mattmaroon 18y agoIt's both ethics and covering their own ass. Giving legal advice entails risk for the attorney. As such it's something they don't do without careful consideration and payment to offset the risk.
