There are legal services you can subscribe to that give you a phone number to call if you get arrested and they’ll send out a lawyer. The one I have is $300 a year.
PREACH! Mine is $26 a month and well worth it. I can get a lawyer on the phone within an hour for any trivial question or thing I need to investigate.
For those not in the know, it’s basically legal insurance. Many services are free, EOL docs and such. I believe they’ll draft a letter for free as well, haven’t tried that. For actual litigation you get 30% off, which is significant.
My divorce lawyer was fucking awful. My child custody lawyer, Jesus, he put a stick on my ex-wife and mopped the courtroom floor with her dumb ass.
They’re above board, no bullshit. I’m not aware of any other such firm in the US. I mainly know because my dad was an insurance salesman in the 90s. Worked for 20 firms, only sold you what fit your needs, not locked to a single outfit’s offerings. He was a fan, and given his morals, I had a look. Plus they’re originally from Oklahoma, like me!
Company before last offered us the benefit, and since I already knew about them, I signed up. Funny thing, I’m not sure I’m paying a dime extra for the “benefit” since I quit that place.
People have commented online, “I’m not in legal trouble and I don’t plan on suing anyone, don’t need it.” But legal issues are like violence, they’re up in your grill, instantly. In any case, it’s damn nice to literally have a phone number in your pocket for legal aid. I’ve mostly used it to ask, “Can they do this to me?”, “What recourse do I have?”, “What if I do this thing?”
LOL, the law ain’t what most think. Yes, they can do that. No, you don’t have recourse. Don’t do that thing. But still, having a real lawyer to talk to is damned instructive. It’s the difference between the rich and poor.
I originally subscribed because I wanted an employment contract review, and $300 was way less than hiring a lawyer directly. I’ve kept it because I’m critical of the current administration.

Could you link us? I’ve never heard of this sort of service.
