When you’re facing a legal issue, the first thing you’re going to need is legal information to better understand your situation. This may come in the form of simple answers to questions like, “What are the laws in my state?” or “What does this statute mean?”. These questions have factual answers that lie within the public domain, so you don’t have to have special legal training to answer them correctly or with authority. In fact, legal information is available to anyone with an interest and the time to research it. It’s generic and doesn’t address any specific course of action. But, and this is important, it’s not legal advice. That’s something else entirely.
Legal advice, at least substantive legal advice, comes from an officer of the court. It comes from someone trained in the law and authorized to give advice regarding legal matters – matters that have consequences. Legal advice at its simplest is specific, direct and proposes a legal course of action to address an issue. Examples of legal advice would be asking, “Do I file for bankruptcy?” or “Am I eligible for compensation for my injuries?”. These questions should always be answered by a licensed attorney with experience in the matter at hand.
