Some lawyers accept retainers Some don't. Really it's up to them. Known my lawyer for many years. Saved me a few times.

I've heard that expression over the years but never really understood it....so, in short, you pay a monthly fee to have quick access to him and guaranteed representation and then should you ever need him whatever you've already paid in over the months goes towards what his fee would have been?

It took about 2-3 months for me to get mine back.

Exactly. Every so often I get some of my money back because I have not needed his legal services. Its a way of making sure they will see your case through.

Sounds like money well spent...might have to consider that.

Gives me piece of mind. When I was wrongfully arrested it came in handy.

From what I've been told it takes quite a while for them to return your firearm.

yep, buddy of mine down in Fl has been back and forth with the Judge and lawyers for two years now... apparently they need it during the appeals process too.

All the more reason I advocate not carrying a $1300 pistol. I'd much rather be out a $400 Glock if the time came than $1300 Springfield or Kimber or whatever.
