The AOR Advantage
At Attorneys On Retainer, we stand apart from typical self-defense programs that use traditional third-party insurance. Our membership offers exclusive benefits, including simple criteria for coverage, no exclusions for criminal acts, and online self-defense education and training. Because AOR is administered by The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm, members receive attorney-client privilege and confidentiality, 24/7 access to an attorney, and tailored legal representation from the only law firm in the nation that exclusively specializes in self-defense.
