Best advice: Have a good attorney on speed dial.

I'll do you one better.

After my first defensive use of a firearm, I spent a lot of time in legal offices discussing my case and buttressing it. The very best advice I ever took was to contact your local LEO precinct and ask who they retain for counsel on LEO-involved shootings. Get their card and if you're ever involved in a self-defense shooting, hand his/her card to the responding LEOs and explain that they are your counsel.

I, thank God, never saw the inside of a court room for either of my defensive firearm uses, but having that attorney's card in my wallet the second time it happened really set my heart and mind at ease.

Absolutely. Great advice. I use a guy that was the DA and current LEO counsel. He knows the ins and outs of such situations and advised me on proper procedures both for a shoot and what to do afterwards. I couldn’t argue or disagree with a single piece of advice he had to offer. His fees were very reasonable; about $500 for the retainer and good advice, and he settled my last shoot for $1,500. Best money I ever spent, next to an engagement ring for the now wife.
