This has been rolling around in my head since I started selling drugs. If shit ever were to hit the fan how are you supposed to pay for a lawyer? I'd imagine your money would be seized. Whats a good way to ensure that money you have set aside for such a scenario can be used as you planned? Any estimate on how much should be set aside for a quality lawyer in the US?

I think it completely depends on what you're selling and how significant the consequences could possibly be against you. If you're worried about local police dinging you for possession with intent you're probably looking at a total of $10k for a best outcome. If the DEA comes after you full force, you're going to need to put an attorney on at least a $10k retainer and that will only last through the initial questioning.
Make sure you really want to deal with this if you're a seller, and that the risk/reward equation makes sense.

As I only sell on SR I doubt it would be the local police coming after me. I take all the proper safety measures and only deal in research chemicals that are in the grey area but shit happens and I'd like to have a plan in place.

Capitalism is your insurance, like the other poster said keep a lawyer on retainer and make sure his leash is shiny. Storage the majorityonly of funds separately from where you are likely to be raided most.

Get a lawyer that only requires payment after winning a case. They exist.
Also, only potential drug money will be seized in most cases. So if you have money in the bank, police cannot touch that (without probable cause). Keep records of pay-stubs to prove that the money in the bank is from a legitimate source. Or at least have documentation proving that the money is legit.
Really, you shouldn't keep any large amount of money on your person or in your home. It's a silly thing to do. Go open an account at a credit union or a bank. If you do large deals (excess of $1000 regularly), deposit cash in small amounts day by day. $200 would be a good amount to deposit.

Yes man. Seriously, when the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a CRIMINAL lawyer.

I would want $5,000 as a minimum for emergency money for an attorney, ideally I'd want closer to $10,000. If shit goes bad you'll need a little money to survive on too.
I'd suggest gold bullion hidden at a family members house. If that is impossible, get a safety deposit box at a very small credit union. Do not allow them to send any kind of mail to your address and do not keep the key at your address.

check the Hidden Wiki for a lawyer that accepts BTC. Then you are good to go!

As others have suggested get a good lawyer on retainer now.
Perhaps just give some money now to a close friend/family member, with instructions to get a good lawyer for you if you ever need one.
I don't know what your funds look like, but if it's enough, it may be worth it to invest in a waterproof lockbox. Stuff some cash in there and throw it in a pond somewhere. Again, if you're arrested you can have a friend/family member retrieve it.
But I really don't know what's wrong with just paying some retainer fees now.
-
The absolute minimum you will need is $10,000 to cover your ass with a good lawyer.
Bury it. Stash it with someone you can trust. Get it as far away from your ownership as you can.

Good advice. Now I just need to get 10 grand.
