Remind me, because your comments in this thread don't make it quite clear to me - are you a lawyer? Is this legal advice?

I believe the reasonable person test would result in a court coming to the conclusion that he had presented himself as neither a lawyer nor that he was giving legal advice.

However, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice

I think one should say "neither he had... nor was he giving..."

However, I am not a native English speaker and this is not a grammatical advice

this is not grammatical advice (uncountable, no 'a')

Your advice was grammatical, actually.
