    • Legal advice refers to the counsel or guidance that can be gathered regarding matters of law. This advice pertain to a variety of areas, including but not limited to: family law, business, real estate, taxes, and criminal justice. Legal advice can be obtained through various channels, such as attorneys or legal aid programs, and may often involve the interpretation and application of laws to a specific situation. The purpose of legal advice is to assist individuals or groups in making informed decisions about their legal rights and obligations.

      Different programs and websites, like the United States government's official website, assist individuals in finding free or low-cost legal advice and provide resources for specific demographics such as seniors, low-income individuals, military personnel and people with disabilities. Some online platforms, like Rocket Lawyer, connect individuals and businesses with a network of attorneys who can review legal documents and answer legal questions. However, it's important to note that these platforms do not necessarily offer legal representation or serve as substitutes for consulting with an attorney or law firm.

      Legal Aid Centers, such as the one in Southern Nevada, offer additional programs like Ask-A-Lawyer, which provide free legal advice and consultation sessions along with regular legal education classes. These programs aim to help individuals understand their rights and successfully navigate the legal system, further enhancing access to justice. The precise delivery of this advice varies, and could be online, over the phone, or even in person. It is also emphasized that the information to be shared during these legal advice interactions remains confidential, securing the privacy of individuals who seek this advice.

    • Legal advice is the giving of a professional or formal opinion regarding the substance or procedure of the law in relation to a particular factual situation. The provision of legal advice will often involve analyzing a set of facts and advising a person to take a specific course of action based on the applicable law.

      Legal advice is ordinarily provided in exchange for financial or other tangible compensation. Advice given without remuneration is normally referred to as being pro bono publico (in the public good), or simply pro bono.

      In the common law systems it is usually received from a solicitor, barrister or lawyer; in civil law systems it is given by advocates, lawyers or other professionals (such as tax experts, professional advisors, etc.). In some countries, legal advice is subject to the possession of a specific licence; in others, it is simply subject to the general regulation of professional obligation and can be provided by any person, who will usually be legally responsible for the provided advice. The UK's Legal Services Act 2007 includes the giving of legal advice within the definition of unreserved legal activities, which means that it can be provided by any person not just an officer of the court. However, if it is provided by a lawyer or another person authorised by one of the front line legal services regulators, then this activity is included within their regulatory reach. With the advent of the internet, many services have been established to provide individuals the power to conduct their own legal research or prepare their own legal documents.
