2024 Inaugural AOR Conference Recap
Featuring Attorneys Marc J. Victor and Andy C. Marcantel
November 15, 2024
The Inaugural Attorneys On Retainer (AOR) Conference was successful. The event brought together members from across the nation to participate in a weekend packed with legal discussions and professional networking. Criminal defense attorneys Andy Marcantel and Marc J. Victor, discuss the highlights of the conference.
“It was so fantastic to get to know our clients socially… To sit around and hang out and kind of chew the fat about AOR, political issues, legal issues, other fun stuff.”
-Attorney Victor
Key Highlights from the Conference
Substantive Legal Engagement
The conference included several expert panels, keynote presentations, and open forums. A highlight was the full attorney panel Q&A, where the audience had the opportunity to pose legal questions directly to the firm’s attorneys. This interactive session covered legal topics, from constitutional rights and self-defense laws to contract disputes and estate planning.
The AOR program emphasizes proactive legal protection and the importance of ongoing attorney access. By hosting a live Q&A with a “rapid fire” format, AOR reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and client education.
“Got to share a whole bunch of legal knowledge and answer lots of questions… loved the weekend—it was fantastic.”
Attorney Marcantel
Community and Personal Connection
Attorney Victor emphasized that what made the conference particularly memorable wasn’t just the legal knowledge – it was the community that formed around it. Guests had the opportunity to tour The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm, interact with team members, and get to know the attorneys as more than just legal experts.
“My favorite part of the whole thing was the impromptu singing of the Marine Corps Hymn at the end when we did the birthday cake… to be up there with other Marines and just celebrate the birthday.”
-Attorney Victor
