1. Does you do free consultations?
I'm guessing that this is where "consultation" means "work a complex case from beginning to end and be fully available at my every whim for several weeks".
Correct. That, or they assume you'll take anything on a contingent fee basis.
You will quickly find out that many people think your income is completely unrelated to what you are doing for them. I've actually asked a client or two where they thought my paycheck came from. It's like they assume you have a lawyer-moneytree paying the bills, so you are free to devote endless hours to their project without charging them much.
Some act like you're just telling them stuff they already know and they'd take care of it on their own, if their own time wasn't so important. They don't believe they should pay much, if anything, for your time, advice, skill, experience, or education, especially if it's for solving a problem they don't feel responsible for.
Some clients will understand the value of your work and be very appreciative. Take care of them, they are increasingly rare.
I wasted a lot of time (and money) in my early years trying to keep clients happy and coming back. I still do a lot of pro bono and reduced fee work, but I'm no longer afraid of running off potential clients who don't want to pay what I charge.
