> Legal advice requires:
> Education, knowledge, and experience in areas of the law
> The ability and experience to apply that knowledge to specific fact patterns
> An understanding of how the application of the law affects the client's legal rights
> Practical expertise in writing legal documents or other documents to support the client's position
> State or federal licenses that allow legal representation in court
Whether you write "this is not legal advice" or not has absolutely no bearing on whether it actually is legal advice or not. The phrase is used by actual lawyers when they don't want to mislead the general public about thinking that the legal information they provide is legal advice. Non-lawyers use it to feel fancy and sophisticated.
