Hiring an attorney is a big decision and it should largely be based on how much the outcome of your case is going to affect your life, either in the short- or long term. Most people don’t need to just “have a lawyer” on retainer. There are some people who might — like if you own a business, are a landlord, or have other ongoing legal matters that require attention.
You'd look for a lawyer on an as-needed basis
The lawyer for any case is one who specializes in that area of law. Just like you wouldn’t ask an eye doctor to deliver your baby, you wouldn’t use a personal injury lawyer for a criminal defense, and vice-versa.
