Criminal and Civil Defense Coverage
If you’re involved in a self-defense-related incident, you’ll need a legal defense to protect your rights in a criminal trial. After your criminal trial, you might have to return for a civil trial where you could be sued by the attacker or their family. Going through this process can be very stressful for you and your family, not to mention also very expensive. Having a legal defense to protect your rights through both will greatly increase your peace of mind through the process.
Members of the Attorneys On Retainer Program receive representation in both criminal trials and civil trials, as part of their membership.
What Is the Difference Between Criminal and Civil Defense?
- Criminal Defense: You’ll need a criminal defense attorney when you have been charged with a crime and need legal protection for your rights in court.
- Civil Defense: You’ll need a civil defense attorney to protect your finances and assets when you’re being sued by an individual or their family after a criminal trial.
How Does Having Both Defenses Benefit You?
If you were justified in using lethal force in self-defense, it is still possible that you could be sued civilly by the attacker or their family, even if you were not charged criminally. This is why it’s important to have one legal defense for both criminal and civil trials.
- You’ll have one legal team for both criminal and civil defenses.
- You’ll get professional and consistent legal protection for both trials.
- You’ll save time and money by not having to hire multiple attorneys.
