See this works great until it goes anywhere a potential legal issue.
For example, in the US if you can't afford a defense lawyer you get one provided to you. They are swamped and rushed but at least you get a defense in a criminal case.
Now say I want to start a hobby or have a legal question, but can't afford a laywer. Example would be questions about how can I do X or Y as a hobby legally and how do I have fun without breaking the law. If you can't afford a laywer you don't really have any options. Chemistry, and hobby rocketry or similar hobbies you might want to get into but the law is so complex and if your broke you basically have to give up and hope in the future you can be rich enough to afford lawyer consulting fees.
TLDR: if it isn't a criminal case and you can't afford a lawyer then your basically screwed and better off avoiding whatever it was you wanted to know or get into doing.
