What is the scope and magnitude of the "free legal advice" given by the respected lawyers here? Being a practicing lawyer myself, I am at a loss to understand as to what my ld.colleagues are trying to achieve by rolling out free legal consultations to people here. I am surprised to see that not only are the lawyers giving free and lengthy legal consultancy to the querists but also providing free documents to people who can well afford a lawyer. On one such query a lawyer has provided a free will to a querist who then got it registered by changing the name at the requisite places. The qualification of the querist mentioned on his profile manifested that he could afford having the services of multiple lawyers. Is such an insanely stupid act not harmful to the legal profession as a whole? This querist could have gone to a lawyer and got the will made by paying his fees. No professional does this. I am yet to come across a single doctor,CA or other professional who gives such free services. At the end of the day we the lawyers will be the only losers if this continues.
