The Four-Attorney Benefit
At Attorneys On Retainer (AOR), we have always been committed to providing our members the absolute best legal defense possible. Now, we are taking that commitment to an entirely new level.
When you see high-profile criminal cases — from O.J. Simpson to Kyle Rittenhouse to Alec Baldwin — one thing stands out: they never go to trial with just one attorney. They walk into court with a team of attorneys at their side. And starting now, so will you.
The New Industry Standard: Four Attorneys at Every Felony Trial
Every AOR member who goes to trial on a felony case will have four lawyers representing them in the courtroom. We are giving everyday people the same elite, multi-attorney defense team that was once only affordable to high-profile defendants. This is not just talk; it is written directly into our contract.
“At any felony trial, AFF shall provide four lawyers in the courtroom.”
— Section 3, Subsection F, AFF Legal Services Agreement
Meet Your Dream Team
- Three experienced self-defense attorneys from The Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm (AFF) — experts who handle these cases every day.
- One local attorney of your choice — or, if you do not have one in mind, we will select the best local lawyer from our nationwide network of trusted professionals.
Additionally, every felony case will include at least two dedicated paralegals, access to expert witnesses, and mitigation specialists. Your four-attorney team will collaborate to bring national-level expertise and local insight to your defense. This is the same caliber of resources that wealthy defendants pay millions for.
Why Four Attorneys Matter
If you are charged in a self-defense incident, you are likely facing serious felony charges. This could range from aggravated assault to manslaughter, or even homicide. Felony trials involve complex evidence and can carry life-changing consequences. One attorney is not enough to provide you with the strongest possible defense. You deserve the same strategic advantage that high-profile defendants have always relied on: a cohesive legal team working together, with each attorney bringing a specialized focus to your case. At AOR, we call it the “heavy trial package.”
How AOR Outpaces the Industry
Unlike us, our competitors are not backed by a law firm. They rely on a network of contracted attorneys who adhere to strict billing and insurance guidelines. That is not how we operate. At Attorneys On Retainer, you know exactly who your attorneys are. You get attorneys from AFF dedicated exclusively to defending self-defense cases. We created AOR to deliver the defense we would want for ourselves.
At Attorneys On Retainer, we believe competition drives innovation, not just for us, but for the entire self-defense industry. Our four-attorney benefit sets a higher standard for what real protection looks like.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AOR offer criminal defense, civil defense, or both? And what are the limits?
Regarding self-defense-related legal matters only, AOR includes 100% of your attorneys’ fees through trial and any additional court costs and 3rd party expenses necessary for effective representation. Victim’s rights representation, civil defense, and any necessary appeals are also included without any additional fees, costs, or expenses. AOR also offers up to $50,000 toward bail, $4,000 toward scene cleanup, $1,500 toward mental health counseling services, and $1,000 toward firearm replacement reimbursement.
Does AOR include civil or compensatory damages?
Yes. We now offer up to $100,000 in civil or compensatory damages.
Why did AOR eliminate the 35% discount on attorney's fees for non-self-defense cases?
AOR no longer offers the 35% discount on attorney’s fees for non-self-defense cases because The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (“AFF”) now accepts only self-defense cases. The attorneys at AFF are focused solely on self-defense cases and do not accept any cases from any retained matter other than self-defense cases. The only exception is when we accept a legal advocacy case to generally advance 2A rights or some other pro-freedom interest.
What is AOR’s civil liability coverage limit?
AOR includes up to $100,000 in civil liability coverage for qualifying self-defense incidents, provided through The Attorneys For Freedom Risk Retention Group, Inc. (AFF-RRG). Additionally, AOR is actively working to increase the amount of civil liability coverage available to members. Details will be available as soon as possible.
What is AOR's new red flag/emergency order coverage?
AOR now provides all members of The AOR Program and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with up to $15,000 in legal representation coverage against or challenging emergency orders such as injunctions or orders of protection where the member’s firearm rights were suspended. You DO NOT have to be in a self-defense incident in order to receive this coverage. Additionally, the coverage does not apply to court orders issued in family law court proceedings. AOR is proud to represent members in “red flag” cases.
What is AOR's new expungement/record sealing coverage?
AOR now provides all members and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with up to $5,000 in legal representation coverage for fees and expenses incurred on behalf of members for any petition to clear record, set aside conviction, or expunge any conviction as permitted by relevant state law resulting from a member’s involvement in a self-defense-related matter which arose entirely after the member joined AOR.
What is AOR's new online firearms education and training component?
AOR now provides all members and affiliates of The Attorneys On Retainer Association with an online training curriculum focused on the safe and legal ownership and use of firearms and other related self-defense matters. This curriculum includes training on general firearm safety rules, safe handling and storing firearms, practical instruction on loading and firing firearms, and information about legal rights and responsibilities related to firearms and self-defense issues.
