Free Strategy Sessions
Strategy Sessions are FREE for AOR members in all self-defense-related legal matters. A strategy session is a comprehensive initial meeting with an attorney from the Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm to discuss your potential case in detail.
What Is the Free Strategy Session and How Long Does It Last?
At Attorneys On Retainer, we offer a free Strategy Session during which we invest time in listening to and carefully reviewing your legal issue in detail. Once we have a good understanding of the problem, we will work with you to develop a custom-tailored and realistic strategy on how best to resolve your legal matter. AOR members should plan for their strategy session to last at least 90 to 120 minutes.
What Does the Free Strategy Session Offer to AOR Members?
During the Strategy Session, the attorney will ask questions to thoroughly understand what happened from the members’ perspective, including the members’ version of events, relevant background, and goals of the representation.
The Free Strategy Session Will Provide You:
- A working understanding of how the legal system applies to your case.
- A complete understanding of what to expect at the upcoming hearings.
- What the next or initial steps are toward resolving your legal matter.
- Possible strategies for how best to favorably resolve your legal matter.
- Whether hiring an attorney makes sense at all.
How Does the Free Strategy Session Benefit You?
The Strategy Session is highly important because it offers a free meeting with a lawyer from The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm. Our Strategy Session will provide you with a clear understanding of what you’re facing, along with the best possible approaches, considering all the particular facts and circumstances, for resolving it favorably at the most reasonable cost to you. If you don’t require an attorney, we will advise you on how to resolve it on your own. We promise honest advice that you can utilize to make the best decisions.
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 new civil liability coverage?
Becoming a member of AOR and an affiliate of The Attorneys On Retainer Association now includes civil liability coverage. Members are covered for up to $100,000 in civil liability related to self-defense matters. 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.
