If you’ve heard the Steve Sanchez Radio Show broadcasting live from Las Vegas on Audacy’s Powerhouse 101.5 FM K-DAWN, you already know why Steve Sanchez aligns with Attorneys On Retainer (AOR). Steve is a strong voice for individual liberty, accountability, and constitutional rights, principles that guide everything we do as a law firm defending Americans in self-defense cases.

If you carry a firearm for self-defense, preparation goes beyond training and equipment. Legal protection is just as critical. After a self-defense incident, the danger does not end at the scene. It continues in police interviews, charging decisions, and courtrooms.

Your actions may be questioned. Prosecutors may challenge your judgment. Public narratives may form before the facts are known. Without experienced legal representation, your freedom, finances, and future can be placed at serious risk.

That’s where AOR comes in. Unlike self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance companies, AOR is supported by a dedicated law firm, Attorneys For Freedom (AFF). We are the only law firm in the nation focused exclusively on defending members involved in lawful self-defense. With AOR, you are never facing the legal system alone.

What’s The Attorneys On Retainer Program?

AOR is a self-defense protection program that offers direct access to experienced criminal defense attorneys who are ready to defend you before you ever need to use your firearm or any other weapon in self-defense. AOR is designed for responsible gun owners, concealed carriers, or anyone who believes in their right to self-defense.

Unlike self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance, AOR doesn’t deny coverage or hide behind fine print. If your case meets our three established criteria and you assert self-defense or defense of another in good faith, we will represent you.

The Three Simple Criteria for Coverage

  1. You are charged (or are reasonably concerned about being charged) with a crime (felony or misdemeanor).
  2. You can reasonably and in good faith assert that you acted in self-defense or defense of others.
  3. The charges arise out of conduct that occurred entirely after you became a member of Attorneys On Retainer

When you become a member of AOR, you receive legal benefits, including:

  • Attorney-Client Confidentiality
  • Full criminal and civil defense if you’re charged after a self-defense incident
  • 24/7/365 emergency hotline access to your trial attorney
  • Legal coverage in all 50 states (including Washington D.C.)
  • Online self-defense education & training
  • Support for legal advocacy and pro bono initiatives
  • Commission-based affiliate program
  • And more!

Why Choose AOR?

Self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance are highly regulated and adhere to strict risk-avoidance rules. They are underwritten by insurers who manage legal claims in the same way as financial losses. This means their policies often have narrow definitions, limited coverage, and built-in exclusions.

With AOR you receive what others cannot provide: a direct attorney–client relationship, immediate legal defense when it counts, and no hidden loopholes or fine print.

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
