It shouldn't affect the friendship. One should know where to draw the line between friendship and business relationship.
If you asked for a professional consultation, then you should pay for the services rendered. Unless, you guys were in a pub, while semi intoxicated, you asked for an advice and he/she slurringly gave you one, I'd consider that a friendly advice.

If both party has mentioned earlier than it should be ok. Business and Personal must not mixed up.
But if the damn stingy lawyer suddenly ask for my Ringgits after gave me a consultation...mau kene sepak ni..hahhaa...

I don't expect any lesser. cos being a lawyer is his job, not charity.

Its understandable that he wants to charge. Lawyer also need to earn money

It wont affect my friendship

maybe...depends on the person.

For, me, it wont because my friend has a job to do and consultation is part of the job. I'd might ask for a discount though.

man

depends on how big the case is lah

Since you mentioned school friend, thus it's not that close enough to help out.
Yes, true what Yaya said about Business & Personal.
Have to have a clear line of it.
Think of it professionally depending on what type of case your s.friend is handing & amount of transaction/process & research that they have to come up with.
Professionally as their career they might have to charge a fee. After all it's not cheap to become a lawyer. Just like doctors, technical engineers, opticians & other professionals, there's no free meals. Even if there's some minor free advices but that comes with potential to make business out of it.

Of course before seeking their consultation, I will casually talk about the budget & what type of cases & level. I'm sure your friend will quote what's the range of price & appropriate actions before all the decision making.

Else if you really can't afford it, you can seek legal advice from civil court, MCA, or even non-government organizations. You can google around for it.
