Looking for an Attorney

I did the best I could to search for my topic, but was unsuccessful, so if this has been answered, please point me in the right direction...
I live in NOVA and carry concealed here and there. I would like to carry more often, but one lingering concern is, what happens if I am put in a situation where I need to fire my side arm to protect my life or the lives of my family? I would like to have a consultation with an attorney and have one "on retainer" if something was to happen. I have no idea what i am supposed to say or do.
Any suggestions on GREAT attorneys that could assist me. I am looking for someone experienced and not the best deal that has a coupon on TV during Jerry Springer (no offense Jim Sokolove). My and my family's freedom is riding on a decision I may have to make and I want to make sure we are looked after.
Thanks!
Kuda

Mark Matthews of the Matthews Law Group has just such a program. I believe that its $149 per year. Go to
www.thematthewslawgroup.com. Tell him that Jim Reynolds from Proactive Shooters sent you.
Also, we do a class on concealed carry topics that you may find of interest -

i highly recommend Jim (ProShooter) and his classes. i just attended the session he mentions above. lots of critical info and food for further thought. having the proper info and mindset makes a world of difference in building carry confidence.
as Jim says at the end of class: "carry every day!"
cheers!

And I just noticed the "Gun Friendly Lawyers" link in the upper left corner of the page.

I've heard Daniel Hawes of Virginia Legal Defense speak. He is very impressive. He does seminars on firearm law. I would gues you can get individual time with him like you want, but don't know for sure.

Feel free to call me - no charge unless I actually do "work", and I'll let you know before that happens.
Copy the phone number and put it in your wallet and car. 90% of what I do involves firearms and I practice all over Virginia.

Oh, and by the way - a "retainer" is a fee charged on a periodic basis merely for the privilege of saying so-and-so is your lawyer. It doesn't buy you any "work", and is earned when paid. I don't charge a retainer. When you talk to the cops tell them, "Dan Hawes is my lawyer, and I want him here before I answer any questions." You don't need no stinkin' retainer.
