Attorneys
Does anyone have an attorney "On Retainer" in case of an arrest pertaining to carrying/usage to include bail/magistrate hearings and the like? Wise idea?

A more wise decision would be to keep the phone number of a criminal and civil defense attorney in your family address book.
I agree that some prosecutor might find that keeping your attorney on retainer makes you trigger happy.
(And why spend money now for something you will likely never need? Wait until something actually happens to spend all your money.)

Can someone expect an attorney to post a felony attorney bond for a potential client they have no previous experience or relationship with?

Yep, sure do...
I wouldn't go so far to say they are on "retainer", that sounds so "Falcon Crest-ish"...
Robin Leech would not be calling to look into the lifestyle of this Rich and Undeserving person...

Sorry, but that's like saying that buying insurance means that you're planning to have an accident.mr surveyor wrote:sounds premeditated to me
Some people have an attorney on retainer. That typically costs a couple grand. Some just have a lawyer's card in their wallet. Some just hope they stay lucky.

I think you may call a bail bondsman for something like that, but I don't know the finer details of it all.BrassMonkey wrote:Can someone expect an attorney to post a felony attorney bond for a potential client they have no previous experience or relationship with?

I found a guy a couple of blocks away from me in downtown Dallas. His admin says his retainer sounds to be about 2500 or so.

Well, I tend to ask and to be upfront about what I am looking for in legal representation...
My guy and his team, have made it a point to "specialize" in CHL related matters...And they will be with me through the "whole" process...
This is the only thing I believe I will need an attorney for, regardless if its ever determined to be a good shoot or not...The immediate issue for me is to get out, and let the lawyers go at it...

Who is your "guy" if I may ask? PM me if you want to keep it quiet... I've been "shopping" for one to get a phone number for as well :)stevie_d_64 wrote:Well, I tend to ask and to be upfront about what I am looking for in legal representation...
