This is a hypothetical. Hopefully, me being aware of my surroundings would stop the situation before the criminal tried to rob me. This is only a question of what to do after I shot him. Of course I would do things different depending on my distance to the attacker.
I only wanted to get suggestions on what to do afterward. What would be the problem with calling your lawyer at the scene and why not re holster if you have assessed the scene?

What to do after use of concealed handgun
I have been reading on what to do to prepare in case I have to use my handgun in a self defense situation. The problem is what should I do if I ever have to? I cannot find any information online.
Here is a situation. I am walking to my car and someone pulls out a knife or handgun to rob me. I give them my wallet but they do not leave so I use deadly force to stop the attacker. Now the attacker is laying on the ground bleeding. What do I do now?
This is what I think I should do. Please correct me or add anything else.
1. Look at the situation and see if there are any other hazardous situations present. If there is such as another attacker or a mob then escape the situation
2. If there is no immediate danger in the environment then remove the weapon from the attacker so that they cannot get it. Something like kicking the knife or other weapon out of reach of the attacker.
3. Put away your handgun so that it is properly concealed.
4. Call 9-1-1 and report that you are a concealed handgun licensee and that you used your handgun in self-defense against an attacker.
5. Get instructions from the 9-1-1 dispatcher and wait for the police to come.
6. As you wait call your attorney.
