I think I'll go the retainer route...

I am attempting to schedule (playing phone tag) an appointment with a Nebraska attorney who specializes in "lawful use of deadly force".  Teaches the cops, etc.  I will keep the forum advised on any pertinent (sp?) information.

LawyerJan:
My associate and I do not "specialize" in lawful use of deadly force, but we'd be willing to chat with you.  We have experience with weapons issues and Kurt testified in favor of the CCW amendments. 

I have mixed feelings about the "retainer issue" but let me add this, for a business like yours, having access to an attorney who will answer your calls is important whether that is by retainer or another friendship is up to you.  I appreciate the comments about not using the retainer method and you must satisfy yourself that a retainer is or is not the way to go.  I have a few clients who have retained me, and they appreciate the access that it gives them, the same access that is not necessarily afforded to a "friend".

What a retainer does do however, is lock you in to one firm (unless you want to pay twice).  If you want to go the retainer method, make sure you get the agreement in writing, find out what it covers, what circumstances might alter the ability to use that firm or when you may be able to hire co-counsel.  Make sure you understand how that retainer is going to be used and accounted for.
