Tired Of Free Advice Requests?

Many people often take lawyers for granted and expect free and instant advice.

They do not care about the time they are calling or messaging, do not understand the seriousness of their matter, the time that it may take for a professional to process the (limited) information they are providing and the danger of providing limited information and receiving the advice they want to hear.

It is not that the seekers are always poor or resourceless. It's just the freebies culture prevailing today. Even I get at least 5 linkedin message every day, someone wanting legal advice, someone requesting for help in preparing a lecture or presentation, some students wanting me to check or even do their homework. These messages come even from random unknown folks or people who have never acknowledged your existence or responded to your messages.
