You’re free to not use the services of a lawyer. All of the laws and cases are written down so you can conceivably just read them and represent yourself

That's why it's a good idea to have friends who are lawyers.

So glad criminal defense doesn’t bill by the hour...

That's not how a retainer works. You're thinking of an advance
I disagree
Here is wording from a large firm in Louisiana.
quote:
Retainer as Security
Our representation will not commence until we receive the amount of $xx,xxx from you
by wire transfer or certified funds to serve as security for our final fees and expenses. These
funds will remain in our client trust account for the duration of our representation, and any
remaining balance will be returned to you immediately upon termination of our representation.
We reserve the right to use any part of the funds to satisfy a delinquent payment under our
retainer, and to discontinue our representation until you forward funds to restore the full retainer.
