Dawne is a paralegal working in a family law practice. Her supervisor, Attorney Rabb, is out of the office due to a medical emergency when a new client, Daniela, comes in for a previously scheduled initial appointment. Rather than cancel and inconvenience her, Dawne meets with Daniela. She asks about what kind of assistance the client is seeking and records basic facts such as contact

information. Because the client is seeking a divorce, she provides her with a copy of documents available in the office reception area such as a blank financial statement form, a blank child support guidelines worksheet, and a "Frequently Asked Questions" sheet developed by the supervising attorney. Dawne advises Daniela that the divorce will cost approximately $10,000. Which of the following statements is accurate with respect to the paralegal's conduct in this situation? A) It was unethical for Dawne to participate in an interview and she should have cancelled the appointment. B) It was unethical for Dawne to quote a fee to the client. C) It was unethical for Dawne to provide the client with copies of documents and forms available in the firm's reception area.
