"In the United States, although citizens may freely discuss the law, legal advice may only be given by licensed professionals."

Not true.

While a few of the UPL laws may read like the average citizen cannot give "legal advice" to a neighbor, the laws are virtually never used that way. I cannot find any cases where it has been applied to non-commercial speech by anyone without legal training (lawyer or paralegal).

What is a lot more likkely is that if you give advice that turns out wrong, you might find yourself being sued by the person that you gave your advice to.
