How the New Attorneys On Retainer Program Works
March 24, 2025
Over the years, The Attorneys On Retainer (“AOR”) Program has added numerous benefits, such as bail bond coverage, expert investigators, and psychological counseling, positioning itself as the gold standard in self-defense legal protection. However, its inability to provide civil liability or red flag coverage remained a challenge, which caused The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (“AFF”) to go looking for a unique solution. As the legal landscape around firearm ownership evolves, AOR has expanded its services to address the growing demand for civil liability coverage. To overcome the limitations of being a law firm and not an insurance provider, AFF restructured The AOR Program by adding The Attorneys On Retainer Association and The Attorneys For Freedom Risk Retention Group, Inc.
How it Works
The AOR Program now consists of two major components: The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm and The Attorneys On Retainer Association. The law firm specializes exclusively in self-defense cases, providing clients with immediate attorney-client privilege, a full team of attorneys dedicated to each case, and much more. The second component, The AOR Association, offers various benefits including online self-defense training, an affiliate program for earning commissions, and more. The Attorneys For Freedom Risk Retention Group, Inc. (“AFF-RRG”) writes the policy that provides members their coverage. All decisions regarding coverage are managed by the law firm, establishing total confidentiality.
