Free consultations usually amount to one of two things — a new client or a waste of time. There is little in between, which makes the question of whether to offer free consultations hotly debated. Free consultations are the norm in some areas of practice, such as personal injury or disability claims, in which attorneys usually work on a contingency fee basis. In other practice areas, like family law, free consultations are especially ill-advised. Excluding these special cases with established industry standards, policies on consultations are whatever you want them to be. Whether you love them or hate them, free consultations have their pros and cons.
