The AOR Difference

Unlike most self-defense plans on the market, the Attorneys On Retainer Program is NOT backed by any insurance company. The Attorneys On Retainer Program is an attorney-client fee option with the Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm. This means we are not required to adhere to the same restrictions and limitations that other insurance-backed programs must follow. The Attorneys On Retainer Program is not an insurance plan – it is an attorney/client fee agreement.

Many of these companies that offer concealed carry insurance say they can provide significant financial assistance in the aftermath of a self-defense shooting. However, because they are backed by insurance companies, they will likely have EXCLUSIONS in their policies that allow them to DENY coverage.

 

Coverage Comparison

The Attorneys On Retainer Program is a law firm fee agreement, not an insurance policy offered by a third party.
