Generally yes. Generalized legal statements and opinions, not tailored to any specific or particular situation, do not constitute the unauthorized practice of law. However, if a non-lawyer attempts to meet with a person, discuss the person’s particular situation, or assist the person in filling out a form legal document, the non-lawyer is committing the unauthorized practice of law.
