I would imagine that the reason that the judge asked Mr. ______ to consult a financial planner is because the judge wanted him to understand the financial implications of such a transaction.  It doesn’t sound like you fit the bill, because you’re not advising him on how this fits into his financial situation.
That being said, I still don’t think you’re doing anything unethical.  You stated your qualifications, your compensation (which is NOT a contingent fee), and declined to give an opinion.  Doesn’t sound like a violation of ethics to me, just sounds like it’s not exactly what the judge ordered.
If Mr. _______consults with you, and you write the letter containing your numbers and the judge says that it’s okay, I don’t think there’s anything unethical about the situation.
