Backed by a law firm. Not an insurance company.
Joining AOR does more than protect you. A portion of every client’s fees goes directly toward supporting legal advocacy for 2nd Amendment rights and pro bono representation for responsible gun owners who couldn’t otherwise afford a defense. When you join AOR, you’re securing your own freedom and helping defend it for others.
AOR is continually expanding its benefits. Every benefit we include in your fees is meaningful, not a superficial sales pitch. We invest extra effort into being transparent with you, just as you expect from your attorneys.
We train hard, carry responsibly, and value the freedom to defend ourselves. But when a defensive encounter ends, the legal fight may just be beginning. In an instant, your freedom, finances, and future can all be on the line.
— Eric Hung, Founder & CEO of Pew Pew Tactical

The Difference
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Attorneys On Retainer Program (“AOR”) consists of two separate legal contracts: 1. A legal services agreement with The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm, and 2. A contract to become an affiliate of The Attorneys On Retainer Association (“The AOR Association”).
As a result of the first contract, the AOR member becomes a client of The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (“AFF”). As a client of the law firm, attorney-client privilege attaches immediately. All clients are requested to complete an emergency information form which provides information for the attorneys to use in the event of a release hearing which occurs after an arrest. The law firm also administers a 24/7/365 emergency hotline for AOR members to call in the event of a self-defense-related matter. All attorneys at the law firm stand ready to work as a team to defend any AFF client in court who is charged with a crime resulting from a self-defense-related matter. The attorneys also associate with the client’s choice of local counsel to represent clients in any state. Legal representation in the related civil case as well as representation in red flag/emergency order matters is also included along with all experts and investigators.
As a result of the second contract, every AOR member becomes an affiliate of The AOR Association which advocates for the legal interests of commercial businesses, firearms enthusiasts, and people interested in self-defense issues. It also offers pro-bono legal representation to non-members who are wrongfully charged with crimes after acting in self-defense or defense of others. The AOR Association also offers a series of professional online firearms education and training to all its affiliates. All affiliates can earn commissions as they successfully refer other businesses and individuals to receive training by becoming affiliates. The AOR Association also owns The Attorneys For Freedom Risk Retention Group, Inc. (“RRG”), which insures The AOR Association as well as all affiliates and provides funding for legal representation without many of the exclusions often found in insurance products. Affiliates receive other benefits including discounts on firearms, ammunition, and other items, as well as the AOR Conference, a monthly newsletter, and opportunities to receive legal advice on self-defense-related legal matters.

However, AOR is secondary to any insurance policy or other legal benefit coverage that may apply.
Pro Hac Vice is a Latin term that translates to “for this occasion”. In the court system, an attorney may be temporarily admitted to practice law in a jurisdiction for which they are not licensed so that they may appear in a particular case without being formally admitted into that jurisdiction. We will endeavor to get your first choice of a local attorney on board. As an AOR member, you can notify us of this choice on the Emergency Contact Form in the AOR Member Portal.
So, we contract with a local attorney to be admitted and to assist with the case, but we are lead counsel. All our lawyers remain in good standing with our State Bar Association and meet all requirements for admission pro hac vice.
We will take action immediately to protect your rights. You are also free to have any other person contact our law firm on your behalf.
