Attorney recommendations?

[Toastmag]

I am new to IN gun forum and fairly new to gun ownership and licensed concealed carry. I have joined NRA, read the US CCA magazine regularly, and have just purchased and read Brian Ciyou's book.

I have received consistent advice to carry the name, and number, of a qualified criminal defense attorney in my wallet. This attorney should be experienced in concealed carry and self-defense cases. Does anyone have a recommendation for an attorney in the Fort Wayne area that fits these qualifications?

Thank you for your time and advice!

I don't have a recommendation for you, but I would suggest that you also leave the name and number with your spouse or a friend. The reason is that if you are arrested, you will likely not have access to your wallet to retrieve the card, and you probably have your wife's or friend's phone number memorized.

As Scutter01 suggested memorize both you wife and girlfriends # and make sure they both have the number to the lawyer. You never know which ONE you will need to call for the number! LOL!!!

Wow, I never thought of that. Maybe we can get an INGO lawyer?

You really need to have the attorney on retainer, not just have their number. Bad things don't only happen during business hours. Even if the lawyer isn't specialized in personal defense situations, having any lawyer on retainer is good because they will connect you with the appropriate lawyer if they aren't the right one for the job.

In Ft Wayne, Steve Trotter. I've been shooting with him for over 20 years. There are others....

As an aside, get involved in IPSC and Practical Pistol shooting in the area, and you will meet lots of people that know lots of people for answers to your question.

Welcome to the Forum. I hope to see you on the range.....

great question OP. How much does it cost to have one on retainer? And is that like a deposit or what?

I'm in NW IN and am curious about this as well. If anyone knows someone in the local area to me that is great please PM me or post it here. I don't have money to join any shooting organizations yet, but plan to in the future.
