Straight Talk, Real Protection

From the moment you sign up, AOR connects you to an attorney ready to represent you in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., if you have to defend yourself. We only have three criteria: you’re facing or reasonably concerned about criminal charges, you can assert self-defense in good faith, and the incident happened after you became a client. That’s the program in a nutshell.

But joining AOR does more than protect you. A portion of every client’s fees goes directly toward legal advocacy for 2nd Amendment rights and pro bono representation for responsible gun owners who couldn’t otherwise afford a defense. When you join, you’re standing behind every armed citizen who carries with that same sense of responsibility, whether they can afford to or not.

We’d rather tell you exactly what you’re getting than oversell you on something we can’t deliver. That’s the only way we know how to run this.

I created my YouTube channel in order to help real people find honest, accurate information regarding what guns they might want to carry in order to defend their lives. I take that job very seriously, knowing that the opinions I share could save their lives. The other thing people need is someone to tirelessly defend them should they need to actually defend their lives. I'm confident that AOR is the right group of individuals to help in the legal space of what happens after you defend yourself.

The Difference

This is not your typical
self-defense insurance.

Most programs put an insurance company or third-party network between you and your defense. AOR puts a law firm there instead — the only one in the nation exclusively representing clients in self-defense cases.

Other Self-Defense Programs

  • Coverage tied to an insurance policy or third-party network
  • Your attorney must agree to program billing rates and guidelines
  • Your information may not be protected by attorney-client privilege
  • Attorneys may handle many types of cases, not just self-defense
  • No law firm exclusively dedicated to self-defense cases in your corner

Attorneys On Retainer

  • Attorney-client privilege the moment you become an AFF client
  • 24/7 emergency access to your attorney
  • Coverage decisions made by your attorneys, not an insurance company
  • Coverage in all 50 states & D.C.
  • We cover what other programs routinely exclude

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions people ask before joining.

What is The AOR Program and how does it work?

The Attorneys On Retainer Program (“AOR”) consists of two separate legal contracts: a legal services agreement with The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm, and a contract to become an affiliate of The Attorneys On Retainer Association. As a result of the first contract, the AOR member becomes a client of The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (“AFF”), so attorney-client privilege attaches immediately. The firm administers a 24/7/365 emergency hotline for AOR members to call in the event of a self-defense-related matter, and stands ready to defend any AFF client charged with a crime resulting from a self-defense-related matter in any state.

What is AOR's criteria for coverage?

  1. You are charged, or reasonably concerned about being charged, with either a felony or misdemeanor crime;
  2. You reasonably and in good faith assert you acted in self-defense or defense of a 3rd party as a defense to the charge; and
  3. The incident occurred after you joined AOR.

What are common situations that we cover, but our competitors exclude?

AOR is unwilling to entertain the exclusions that often appear with traditional commercial insurers and membership programs, such as criminal acts, sensitive places, domestic violence, alcohol and drugs, illegal weapons, prohibited possessors, negligent discharge, or lack of a CCW permit. And no recoupment clause, either.

Do I need a valid CCW in a state with constitutional carry to obtain the AOR membership?

No. That is the beauty of being established by a law firm and not a third-party insurance company. No matter the status of your CCW license, AOR will still represent you — even if your self-defense matter occurred while you did not possess a valid or possessed an invalid CCW permit.

Does AOR cover me in all 50 states?

Yes. Our attorneys can appear via the pro hac vice rules in any state. Although The Attorneys For Freedom attorneys are admitted to practice law only in Arizona, we can get admitted to practice law in your state through the operation of the pro hac vice rules.

Does AOR offer veteran/military discounts?

Yes. We offer $25 off the one-time signup fee. (This discount CANNOT be stacked with the Family Plan or other promo codes.)
