I'm not talking about the public defender that got you off on probation. I mean one that you use for financial advice, estate planning, bankruptcy ect... If someone threatened to sue you for example, could you just hand over a card and say "talk to my lawyer"?

I'm not important enough to have a lawyer.

I've had a lawyer or two for specific purposes, but never one I could just call to say "Hey I need some services here." The few times I've tried I always got referred elsewhere or told they didn't specialize in fill-in-the-blank. I don't think there really are allpurpose lawyers any more, are there?

Nope. Nobody on retainer but I would/could find one in a minute if I needed one. My husband's family are almost all lawyers.

Yeah, I guess that's just in the movies. Gone are the days where you could find a good lawyer to handle all your problems AND snort a few lines with on the weekends.

Only my divorce/child custody issues attorney. She is also doing my brother's will. But no, I don't keep her on retainer.

If I need a lawyer, I know where to get one. She's not a catch-all sort of lawyer but can refer me to others specifically for what I need.
Just shut up. Just shut the fuck up right now.

My dad is an attorney, so he's someone I can consult if the need arises.
