That doesn't necessarily apply for immigration lawyers, due to the nature
of the practice. Basically, many immigration lawyers want to protect
themselves from people coming in for an initial consultation only to pick
their brains and then file the paperwork themselves.
Most other lawyers are in a better position here, because you usually
*cannot* file, say, a lawsuit, without a lawyer (or at least, it would be
very difficult).
