I agree the post is uber-vague, but I think I kind of follow.
"Hiring" an attorney for whatever predicament you may be in means you are going to have to pay them in most instances...
Free legal advice is equated to a general overview of the law and how or how it may not effect you or apply to your case in general. You could probably find this type of information in wikipedia if necessary. Any truly valuable legal advice or assistance is going to cost "your close friends".
Also, paying the attorney, in most cases, is probably worth every penny. I've been represented by an attorney before (when necessary) and the outcome has always been very desirable. Just one common-day example: traffic violators who hire a traffic attorney often get off much easier (or even all together) than those who go and try to defend themselves (and often end up paying the ticket or license suspension)...
I'm glad I have a legal insurance/plan through my firm though. For $7 a month, I can get huge discounts and/or free legal assistance.
