To expand on my previous post, attorney client relationship doesn't really have anything to do with payment. The relationship is created when there is a mutual understanding between parties that the relationship exists. I believe the details are jurisdiction dependent (I don't know specifics of New Mexico), but the potential problem is that the "client" may believe a relationship is created when the attorney doesn't. New attorneys are routinely (or should be) cautioned to not give out casual legal advice to friends or acquaintances because they risk creating an attorney client relationship. If someone shows up to court and acts on advice you gave them as an attorney, the judge may pull you in and say "well you're clearly this dope's lawyer, tough poo poo bud."

I'd assume that the reason you see the payment thing in tv shows and movies, and why it would work in real life (although I don't personally know of any situations like you'd see in fiction), is that you now have a clear singular event that created the relationship. It works from a narrative standpoint and is sexier than signing a piece of paper. What's more likely (what actual attorneys do) is have you sign a retainer agreement (which may address billing in varying detail) when you first meet, and you can figure out billing details later. Obviously not everyone can afford to pay an attorney up front. The legal aid and public defender attorneys I've seen also just use retainers that omit billing since they don't bill clients like private attorneys do. Payment of LA/PD attorneys also often works differently depending on where you are since some are government offices or are funded by federal/state/local government. And again, this can all vary depending on jurisdiction.

Stupid question: What podcast is this you speak of? Is it like offical?

Also, I hope they considered getting the cast to narrate the transcript ala Rick & Morty. It'd be the biggest "funny cause it's boring" hit since that Norwegian log fire.


My question is more about whether it's the payment that establishes the relationship, or agreeing to purchase services.

For example: I tell lawyer I've been charged with shitposting. He tells me he can probably mount a defense for 10bux, but it might be 20bux if there was mod sass. I say yes, there was some mod sass. He says ok, come back next week at 10am with a check and we'll take a detailed statement and plan our defense.

Could they really argue because money hadn't changed hands, there's no privilege? I'm not a lawyer, but as a juror I'd wrinkle my nose at that BS.

It's usually impossible to know how much a case is going to cost at the beginning. so the retainer is paid so that the lawyer can begin work and then you get a bill once the work is finished (minus what you already paid for the retainer.) Not sure how it works for public defenders tho

There are salaried positions where you don't get paid by billable hour (govt or semi-govt offices), but also there are assigned counsel lists who are just private attorneys that will get assigned to a case if they're on the list (I think this was Jimmy but I don't remember season 1). The latter get paid by hours billed at a rate set by the court/local govt after they submit certified vouchers.

Every episode of the Insider Pod ending with Kelley Dixon egging whatever guest they have on to say "Better call saul!" as Saul would say it is always very cringey and annoying. Especially when everyone cheers afterward. It would be slightly less bad if they had them do it as their own characters.

It also happens in John Grisham's "The Client." Some form of payment for retainer has to pass from client to lawyer to activate the attorney-client privilege mechanism.

This is not a real requirement. It's something made up so that writers can explain attorney-client privilege to the audience.

In reality:

pre:
A relationship of client and lawyer arises when:

(1) a person manifests to a lawyer the person's intent that the lawyer provide legal services for the person; and either

                 (a) the lawyer manifests to the person consent to do so; or

                 (b) the lawyer fails to manifest a lack of consent to do so, and the lawyer
                 knows or reasonably should know that the person reasonably relies on
                 the lawyer to provide the services
So basically if someone says to an attorney "Hey can you be my lawyer?" and the attorney says "K" then the attorney-client relationship is created. To be honest the attorney doesn't even need to say that much.

Actors are more likely to show up on podcasts recorded toward the end of the production cycle because they're running around all over the place most of the time but then while they're in the studio doing ADR Kelly or whoever will wrangle a few of them to do the podcast.

I also agree that it's nice how they give shout outs to behind the scenes people and minor actors and stuff, but at the same time yeah for such an excellent writer Vince Gilligan sure does love to repeat the word "wonderful."

UNRELATED: I'm doing a Breaking Bad rewatch and knowing what we know from BCS and future episodes of BrBa, it's loving nuts how lovely Tuco is to Hector. Obviously Hector is paralyzed and can't wield power like he could in the BCS days, and obviously Tuco is a loving lunatic, so it makes perfect sense, it's just really sort of tragic watching him get verbally abused by his dangerous but stupid nephew when we know how fearsome, powerful, and clever he used to be.

Really? The shock of those scenes seeing them for the first time was this mean prick murdering rear end in a top hat Tuco taking care of this old man feeding him and I guess changing his diapers. When Tuco thinks Hector is complaining because Tuco has the bigger plate for food, he actually swaps plates with him. When he thinks they did something to Hector, the way he screams "What did you to my Tio?" told me that he cared deeply for him.

It's essentially when the "client" believes there to be a relationship, typically started by the giving of legal advice (if there is no formal agreement for representation already). Lawyers are super cautious to give out what could even possibly be considered legal advice because giving advice forms an attorney-client relationship and can subject the lawyer to legal malpractice claims and grievances.

In your hypothetical they could argue that a lack of payment is evidence of a lack of a relationship, but I think courts would be hard-pressed to buy into that argument.

Considering that Jimmy and Kim are both lawyers, and also considering the nature of their professional relationship (i.e., they would probably talk shop anyway), would a "token payment" provide any extra benefit that they might want to ensure themselves of--that is to say, a benefit that wouldn't come into play under other circumstances?

If they only talked about it and she advised him, it's still potentially assailable. Money changing hands for legal services creates a clear, no-poo poo attorney-client relationship so under no circumstances can she be compelled to testify against him. Anything less and it's a gray enough area that it's open to attack. (in TV logic, anyway)

Yeah I think it's just a sort of "reverse" shock because my mindset from watching BCS is that Hector is still a top dog and respected, untouchable capo in the cartel, as opposed to just a dude in a wheelchair getting screamed at by an inferior criminal. Tuco absolutely cares about his Tio, but he had a much more gentle relationship with his Abuelita. And he's probably nicer to Hector when he's not all agitated about Walt/Jesse/Gonzo/DEA poo poo.

Frankly a scene of Tuco, fresh out of jail, lovingly and patiently caring for his uncle who's just been paralyzed would fit really well. I can't remember what interactions they've had on BCS though so if he was lovely to him before he got paralyzed then my whole point kinda goes out the window.
