Well, he should. Many lawyers are now charging consultation fees due to the many frivolous lawsuits people want to pursue and cannot be won. The only attorneys that give free consultations where I live is the ambulance chasers that get 33% of anything you win.

Yes, absolutely. Why would a lawyer waste time on a case he thought he couldn't win for you?
I had a need for a lawyer once and had to get turned away by five of them before the sixth one said he could help me. He did - saved me a ton of money doing it, too.
Oh yeah, one more thing - a lawyer who would knowingly mislead you on your question would be at extreme risk for disbarment.
