When you ask for free advice, it is normally worth its face value.
When you are asked by the investigating officer on what basis you acted and you tell him "I got it off the internet", you have already said more than you should have and given them an insight into your MO. If you are unsure about a legal issue, consult a real attorney before you take action (its cheaper). If you decide not to take their advice, then you will have their number handy after the arrest.
(forgivness is easier than permission, does not apply in these cases)
Sometimes they effectively do. A lot of people don't understand how long an attorney actually works to get a real billable hour for one thing, for another, many attorneys have overhead that is included in the hourly rate, including staff.
But the reality is that there is a lot of price pressure on attorneys in a lot of industries, and from a lot of sources like legal group plans, online retail legal forms sites, etc. I bill out my time at $175 an hour (plus or minus ...) nominally, but take my word for it, I'm not collecting $385K a year in billables ... ($175 x 2200 hours a year).
