Is it possible to get a non-disclosure agreement with a patent lawyer? If so, would the lawyer be willing to?

I have an idea that I want to patent and have considered seeing a patent lawyer. I do have concerns about this however. I have read questions before about a patent lawyer stealing your idea or giving your idea to a big company within the industry your idea falls into. Most people have said to mail whatever documentation you have about the idea to yourself via certified mail. I think this is a brilliant idea! HOWEVER, I am the type of person who likes redundancy. If I wanted to have a patent lawyer sign a non-disclosure agreement, would they be willing to do so? I truly believe my invention is worth billions of dollars and I don’t want some “lawyer” to steal my idea or give it to a potential competitor of mine. I really don’t think I would do business with a patent lawyer if they didn’t sign an NDA. An idea worth billions of dollars is not to be taken lightly.
