Jackie is a paralegal working for Huey & Duey, Attorneys at Law. One day when both Huey and Duey are in court, Jackie takes a call from a potential client. The potential client, Bruno, states that he has been charged with burglary, but he only entered his former girlfriend's apartment to retrieve his chess set. Jackie knows that, in her jurisdiction, a defendant will be guilty of burglary if the person breaks and enters a residence or commercial structure with intent to commit a felony therein. Jackie recognizes that Bruno did not intend to steal or commit a felony in his girlfriend's apartment and may not be guilty of burglary. From the options listed below, what is the best response that Jackie can give to Bruno?
A) Tell Bruno that he is not guilty of burglary and that Huey & Duey will take the case.
B) Tell Bruno that, even if he is not guilty of burglary, he may be guilty of breaking and entering.
C) Tell Bruno that he must speak with Huey or Duey because only an attorney can agree to accept the case, and then take Bruno's contact information.
D) Tell Bruno that, even if he is not guilty of burglary, he was wrong to break into his former girlfriend's apartment.
