Did I do something shady here with this realtor?

I work in criminal defense. Often people call to ask if I can help with things that they can handle on their own. I always advise people if I feel that they don’t need to hire anyone and can handle it by say, showing proof of insurance or asking the ADA for a particular plea offer that is pretty standard. Often people still like to hire someone but I would feel like so dirty if someone paid me hundreds of dollars what they could do for free.

Thank you for the parallel. Honestly, that probably plays into my attitude about the whole thing. I’m not a fan of these professions we have created where people keep secrets and expect people “not in the know” to pay a bunch of money.
