Should I “Find a lawyer” before I need one?

Question by Brad: Should I “Find a lawyer” before I need one?
I watch a lot of shows like L&O and stuff, and they always say “let me call my lawyer”, or when they get arrested, they get one call and call their lawyer.

I doubt I’ll ever need a lawyer, but who knows, maybe I’ll get a speeding ticket for driving 130 on the highway, or get accused of doing something I didnt do?

Should I do some research and find a lawyer in case I ever need one so I can keep their phone number on hand for emergencies?

I suppose, but you can find one after getting arrested, before your trial ofcourse.
