My situation is obviously a bit different since that's what I do for a living, but I know a lot of folks that do have an attorney on retainer in connection with their businesses and, typically, it's for purposes related to those businesses. However, the attorney inevitably fields a lot of other, unrelated questions when other things come up.

I'd say the more common scenario is that someone used an attorney once for something and figures they are their attorney for life. I have a lot of those folks. I'm usually happy to offer a quick thought or point them to someone who practices in the area of law they need if it's not something I do. While I don't take retainers for being "their attorney", if I can give someone a little peace of mind, why not? Besides, those people make referrals to me when someone they know does need representation so it works out well for both of us.
