Outside of like tax and immigration, I don't know that there's any other area of law that changes so rapidly, so quickly. Policy changes from the administration, court cases that come out that affects them. You can’t, just like out of the blue. Just an announcement that something's been extended or something has to be done differently. Or when like President Obama put in the deferred action program back in 2012, I was literally about to leave for vacation. I had to cancel my vacation because I had to let my network know my clients and other people know that this new thing has just happened out of the blue for us. And now there's this huge option, an opportunity for people to take advantage of a new program or a new process or now we need medical exams that have this thing in it or medical exam now has changed. Immigration lawyers have to keep up
with this stuff on a regular basis to be able to pivot and to help their clients pivot whenever there's those kinds of changes that come all the time from the government. So when someone wants a consultation anywhere in the United States, they could be any city, any state or even the world for that matter. When they call to set it up, are they free? Are they a $100, $300, $1000? What should they expect to find? It just depends on the firm. Everybody has a different thought on this, to be honest. There's no consistency. There's no standard. I would say that most of the time consultations are going to have some fee because people want to hear
what they want to hear. And when they don't hear what they want to hear
from the first person they talk to, if they know somebody is doing a free consultation, they’re going to go talk to that person. Just to see if maybe this guy has got a different idea. Because they know how complex it is. And so generally it's going to be a fee, but not always. And it just depends on the firm and how they operate, what their goals are. But to be fair, by and large, immigration lawyers generally will charge some kind of a fee for consultation. I mean, most people know attorneys don't work for free. That's right. We're trading our time and our knowledge. And so there's value to that. Outside of like tax and immigration, I don't know that there's any other area of law that changes so rapidly, so quickly.
