I called a couple times and wanted to discuss an issue with an attorney, but the administrative assistant who answered the phone would not connect me with nor make an appoitment with an attorney until I answered a whole host of questions. I did not want to talk with her about my issues, but she told me I had to submit to this screening or I could not talk with an attorney. I hung up and called a reputable law firm who connected me with an attorney right away.
