free consultation
No-cost initial advice
A free consultation is a meeting with a professional—typically a lawyer, doctor, or financial advisor—offered at no charge to discuss your situation and assess whether their services might help.
The phrase appears constantly in advertising: Call now for a free consultation.
These sessions let potential clients evaluate the professional while the professional evaluates the case, though the "free" part often means brief and preliminary rather than comprehensive.
