I offered a few mackerel to one attorney but he hasn’t bitten yet.

Good lord, why? Are they not going to rake you as a client?
My FIL is a retired lawyer. He looks over our contracts and such, but if I was in jail, I'd be asking him to find me the right kind of lawyer. That's the closest I've got. |

I’ll deal with it if/when the time comes that requires a lawyer.

This week has shown that long retained lawyers and insurance companies can bail on you when shit hits fan.
Retainers and premiums up in smoke. |

I have a lawyer on retainer.
I should probably get a another one. I don't think a trust and estate lawyer will help me much when I need a lawyer. |

Fortunately I've never needed a lawyer.
The few minor legal problems I've had I was able to handle myself (usually after getting advice from someone more experienced in the matter). I wouldn't hesitate to hire one when needed however. |

Obviously I've heard the phrase, but I honestly don't know what it actually means.
I have been meaning to look into "carry insurance". I have two names in mind that I would call and ask if they could represent me if something happened. I should probably see about actually writing down their numbers

I have one of those prepaid legal plans from work. The couple times I tried to use them the lawyers told me they don't deal with X or Y. The plan's payable rates seem too low for anyone to want to deal with. Its very limited in what's its good for.

Ya know, just in case. to buy ridiculously over priced firearms Normal people don't keep lawyers "on retainer" if they don't have a specific need for one Don't hate. She spent zero dollars on my quest to have the best handguns money can buy. The Staccato P DUO is worth every penny. Better than any glop imagined at the price point and beyond. I bought myself one and one for her for Christmas. And the" I married one just in case" is just humor. My wife could be a cashier at circle k and I'd love her the same. Stop spending hundreds of dollars on Chinese knives and invest in quality American firearms. You'll be happier and satisfied.  I'm retiring at the end of the year I think, gonna be a manual laborer, in my next life, relaxing to mindless physical labor to supplement my retirement. Sweet, sweet mindless labor. You know we love you Aimless, our favorite arfcom lawyer.

Unnecessary waste of money unless you find yourself being sued/suing often or are a criminal. Which in both cases you should be re-evaluating your life choices.

When I had my solo practice I had one guy come in and ask to put me on retainer. I had no idea what to do with that - he wasn’t a local guy, said he had just moved to the area, and he seemed totally sketchy. Couldn’t say why he wanted me on retainer versus just calling me if he needed something. I think I took $500 from him, told him it was non-refundable but if he needed my services I’d bill against the retainer until it was exhausted and then bill him hourly. Never heard from him again.
