In most cases, the "free consultation" is simply a sales ploy to get you
into their office so they can obtain your personal information and
determine how to sell you on using their services. In more cases than
not, information obtained in free consultations is not enough to prepare
you to handle your legal matters. For useful, legal assistance, you
will need to pay for it. Instead of a "free consultation", it is easier
and quicker to spend a few short moments on the phone with a lawyer so
he or she can provide you with all of the initial direction you may need
to determine whether or not you need a lawyer and if the lawyer with
whom you are speaking is the one for you...and that short communication
should be FREE!
