Quote by Warren E. Burger

It is not unprofessional to give free legal advice, but advertising that the first visit will be free is a bit like a fox telling chickens he will not bite them until they cross the threshold of the hen house.

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.
