Do any of you keep a lawyer on hand? Like made a deposit and have him/her ready to call?

Was watching this video and it clicked that you could be fucked on a lie and can't do shit but go to jail and wait for a judge - https://youtu.be/-4D5V19zqFc
I knew this before, but this video brought it home. Paraplegic accused of kicking down a door and dumbass cops not doing anything "but their jobs", no common sense at all.
No need, we still have due process and the rule of law where I live.

I actually tried calling a few lawyers to establish myself with them before it’s needed, but none of the lawyers I talked to were interested. they all told me to just call them if I get arrested or something else happens.

I always wondered about this. In movies they always say something like wait until my lawyer hears about this. They always use the term "my lawyer" like they are in regular contact with one.

Yeah, I had the same thing. They were basically like call us back when you actually have legal problems.
I think they just don't want the accounting headache of reporting thousands of small retainers for no real purpose.

My brother has regular contact with his businesses’ lawyers. If he threatens to sue you that is what he is doing

You don’t usually keep defense lawyers on retainer

Ok do you have businesses because usually “my lawyer” is the business’ legal representative. People in your country might he doing this for non-criminal cases.

I just have insurance for that. If I need a lawyer I can call them and they refer me to one.
