I keep Guy Relford as a favorite on my phone and my wife's as well. Told my wife that he is the person to call if I ever get arrested for carrying or shooting someone.
I attended a class put on by US Law Shield and signed up with them. They will represent you in any firearms case whether you fire a shot or not. 100% attorney fees are paid. And they represent both civil and criminal cases. My minor children are also covered and I'm covered in all 50 states when traveling.
Edit: I just noticed that they do not yet offer their services in Indiana.

Guy is the gold standard in Indiana for 2A and related matters.
My question is this:can you just put a lawyer in your phone and give him a call out of the blue or do you need to pay a retainer fee? I've never dealt with lawyers and I hope to never have to,but this is something I should know.
My question still hasn't been answered.Do you need to pay some kind of retainer fee or can you just randomly call him at zero dark thirty and say "hey,we've never met before but I need you to keep my @$$ out of jail" and he's like "I gotcha bro".
He told me you can call his contact number on his website... its set up to a 24 hour phone. If something happens call it... Didn't get an exact answer on retainer fee. But im certain if he's coming down to the jail house to talk at 2 am he's probably not doing that for free.
However... he did mention something that he is a part of. There is something out there like this --- https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/uscca-membership/index.asp?ID=3steps&SID=Homepage&kmi=
Don't quote me i can't remember the EXACT one. I will email him tonight and get an answer tomorrow.
If you sign up for that he is apart of one of those groups. If you do need help he is there to serve as your legal representation.

I was actually thinking of asking this same question. I was wondering if it made more sense to have a local lawyer (someone who knows you, helps you with your will, etc) and then belong to something like the USCCA shield, or just find a good local-ish lawyer like Guy and keep him on speed dial. Obviously there's a financial component, as USCCA is insurance as well. I guess my question is, should you even bother calling your normal Lawyer, since he/she could presumably get there a lot quicker, or just wait for the expert criminal defense lawyer?

My understanding after speaking with him. If you sign up for USconcealcarry you have a choice of multiple different lawyers if something happens. Guy is one of those choices. So if something does happen you can use GUY as one of your lawyers.
AGAIN If you want a more direct answer. Call him directly or send him an email. The Law Offices of Guy A. Relford
Personally I believe it to be something of value to add this to my yearly purchase. One truck payment a year -- for piece of mind.

To answer a question posted earlier, I would never charge a retainer fee (or any other type of fee) unless someone actually hires me after the need arises.
I suggest simply keeping the phone number of an attorney whom you trust - and making sure your family members have that number too - in case they need to call on your behalf. (And make sure you get a landline - in case you have to call collect.) If you need him/her, call!
And as mpd mentioned, you have the option of obtaining insurance through an organization like the U.S. Concealed Carry Association or Armed Citizens Defense Network. I am listed in both of their directories for Indiana.

Guy, thanks for clearing this up for everyone.
Anyone else I am not a paid spokes person & I have only met Guy once. But I have his number in my phone and will forward the information to my own family. I HIGHLY suggest you put Guy's contact info in your phone. He was a really good dude... he spent an an entire hour out of his night (and his wife's) to answer any and all questions I (and another person attending) had. I am sure he would have spent more time too.
