To be honest I find it much more disconcerting that if you go to http://www.avvo.com, the headline says "Get free legal advice from top-rated lawyers." It's been a while since I was in law school, but my recollection is that if you provide "legal advice" whether free or not, you potentially establish an attorney-client relationship with the questioner. Is that no longer correct?
