Summary

This quote suggests that offering free legal advice in itself is not considered unprofessional. However, when an attorney advertises that the initial consultation is free, it can be misleading and potentially manipulative. The comparison made to a fox luring chickens into a trap implies that such advertisements may be intended to draw in clients who might not otherwise seek legal help, only to later charge them for services rendered. It serves as a warning against misleading marketing tactics in the legal profession.

If we divine a discrepancy between a man's words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.
