These people are the real deal. I had a defensive incident that required their expertise. They not only walked me through things every step of the way, they were very good at let me ramble and work things out in my head to get it all straight. I've been with them for a few years now and this was the first time I needed this type of help and they were there for me. They do exactly what they say they will do when they are needed.
Response from the owner:Bobby, thank you for sharing your experience. We know that going through a defensive incident can be overwhelming, and we’re honored you trusted us during that time.

I had a helpful interaction with Ms.Loya - 10/10 customer service.

I've investigated testimonials, consumed the YouTube, and watched the video combing through agreement.
It's a little corny, but this law firm is like that blindfolded lady holding a balance: they don't care about your color, culture or dialect - they care about your freedom and justice.

I'm a Baptist so I go into all kinds of bad neighborhoods and apartments, I interact with all kinds of people. I've seen the pit bulls, I've seen the thugs, and I've been pulled into arguments and yelled at.
If I ever pepper-spray a dog and it doesn't go over well, I'm calling these guys. Lol
And if God forbid I have to defend my life or someone else's, AOR is the horse I have prepared for battle.
This is aggressive legal defense, this is what they do everyday for decades - and they have freedom and justice in mind.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Alex. We’re glad Ms. Loya was able to provide excellent service and clarity. We appreciate the confidence you’ve placed in our firm and the time you’ve taken to learn about what we do. Your support means a lot to our entire team.
I had some issues setting up my account for AOR CCW insurance, specifically with the payment portion, which kept giving me an error. Derek helped me get the account activated and resolved the issue quickly. He had a great, peaceful, and helpful attitude throughout the process. Excellent customer service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We are lucky to have Derek! Another USMC member of our team too!

I can’t recommend this firm enough! From start to finish Crystal and Attorney Emma Wittmann, they provided guidance, support, and care that truly set them apart from other lawyers I’ve encountered. Unlike firms that seem focused only on money, this team genuinely cares about people and takes the time to guide you. I am so grateful for their expertise and kindness, they made a stressful process so much easier to understand
Response from the owner:Jessica, thank you for such a kind review. We’re proud of Crystal and Emma and the care they provide to clients. Legal matters can be stressful, and we’re grateful you felt supported and guided throughout the process. Your recommendation truly means a great deal.

Attorneys for Freedom law firm represented a family member in a serious felony case that went to trial. The family member was facing possible decades in prison if convicted of the false allegations. While the family member was innocent of all the charges leveled against him, we used the expertise of veteran lawyers at Attorneys for Freedom to lead the way through the intricacies of the court system. After weeks of trial, he was found NOT GUILTY.
Joey Hamby and Andy Marcantel did an outstanding job in not only representing the family member in court but also researching all aspects of the case prior to trial. These two experienced trials tested lawyers spent hours with us in preparation to make sure they had all the facts in the case to defend the family member in the best possible way. Those hours paid off from not only working to select the best jurors possible and arranging the correct witnesses to testify on my son's behalf but also defending his rights before the judge and making a solid defense in front of the jury. We want to thank Joey and Andy for walking with us through this horrible ordeal and being at our side every step of the way.
In a serious felony case like this one, you want the best representation possible. We selected the absolute best in Attorneys for Freedom!

Tom and Jan B.
Response from the owner:Tom and Jan, thank you for trusting us during such a serious and difficult time. We understand how much was at stake, and we’re honored to have stood beside your family through trial. Joey and Andy work tirelessly for their clients, and your words mean a great deal to our entire team.

Joey Hamby is your Attorney! I felt supported and understood with him in my corner. His guidance and expertise made a difficult subject clear to a jury which led to a NOT GUILTY verdict. Equally, Andy Marcantel will fight for you as well and is a great Attorney. He was an amazing advocate for me who fought hard for the truth! I could not have navigated the system without them, and I recommend Attorney's for Freedom to anyone who's freedom is on the line... you'll be glad you did!
Response from the owner:We appreciate your kind words. Our attorneys are committed excellence in every case. Andy and Joey were honored to represent you!

I recently had a double bill of my wife's membership that I caught on my credit card bill. I called and spoke to Noslen in customer service, she was able to figure out that when my wife upgraded to the new AOR service that she was double billed and took care of the error right away. That was good enough for me to be happy with her service, but she called me back right away and asked if I had been double billed the month before when I upgraded my subscription. I thought I probably hadn't but she checked and found that I had, then started a refund for me also. It is great to do business with a company that hires good people and encourages them to walk the walk as Marc Victor would say. Thank you Noslen and AOR!
Response from the owner:Jon, thank you for sharing your experience. Noslen takes great pride in making sure members are treated fairly and thoroughly. We’re glad the issue was resolved promptly, and we appreciate you recognizing her extra effort.

I recently had to deal with a legal situation, and I’m incredibly grateful to the team at the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm for helping me through it. From start to finish, they were professional, supportive, and truly had my back.

I especially want to thank Joey Hamby, who took the lead on my case. Joey was sharp, down-to-earth, and always made sure I understood what was going on. He gave me real peace of mind during a stressful time, and I always felt like I was in good hands.

I also want to thank Tory Stewart for her work behind the scenes—her support made a real difference and didn’t go unnoticed.

If you’re ever in a situation where you need strong legal support from people who care, I can’t recommend the Attorneys for Freedom team enough. They really live up to their name.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review. We’re grateful Joey and Tory were able to support you during a difficult time. Providing clarity and steady guidance when it matters most is what we strive for. We appreciate your trust in our team.

Mark J. Victor and his partners and staff are actual American hero’s in my opinion. They are helping protect our 2nd amendment. This one is a true no brainer, no other coverage or protection offered comes close to AoR. The coverage is the best you’re going to find and the customer service is like a big giant bonus on top of the rest of it. Who better to defend you than someone that has their heart into doing it before you even become a client needing defended. Forget the insurance companies , there are no good insurance companies. Trust the people that want to be in your corner if you are forced to defend yourself or others. Shoot straight and stay safe everyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the strong endorsement. We’re honored by your confidence in our team and our mission. We take seriously the responsibility of standing beside our members if they’re ever forced to defend themselves. We appreciate your support.

As a member of the AOR program, Attourney Rachel Moss helped handle a situation I was involved in and I can’t say enough good things about her and the program itself. She had my back immediately and helped me throughout the entire ordeal. She was very quick to respond to me, answered all my questions and helped me out tremendously. I would totally recommend the AOR program to others.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re proud of Rachel and grateful she was able to stand with you and guide you through the situation quickly and thoroughly. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

I just completed the upgrade, and it was easy and quick because I had already watched the video. I watched again most of it to refresh my memory of all the benefits. To have representation before a self-defense incident is comforting therefore not hesitate to protect myself and my family under duress. I know I don't want to hurt or kill anyone with my firearm but to be afraid of the ramifications and die because I'm afraid for my family's existence is counterproductive to having a firearm at all. I recommend this method, as one of the steps in self-defense.
Response from the owner:Hi Casey. Thanks for your kind words! We are honored to represent you. Marc

I am grateful to James Belcher of AOR for helping to navigate me through the process of signing up as a new member. He even answered me a year later when I contacted them again to finally switch over. I spend over an hour talking with him and he answered all my questions and made the process easy and fun.

I was with another company for 6 years, but found out that if my case went to retrial or if I was found guilty and wanted to appeal I would be responsible for all the legal cost. Not with AOR as they will continue to cover me and help with the appeal process.

There were also tons of other legal exclusions with my former company, but with AOR has its all covered which I love. They aren't an insurance company they are actual attorneys. I feel more secure with their legal services on my side.

Thank you.
Response from the owner:Darren, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad James was able to walk through everything in detail and help you make a confident decision. We appreciate your trust and your thoughtful comparison process.
