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

This firm is awesome. They had great communication and answered all my questions. They did everything they could to help my situation. I 100% recommend. My lawyer Brittany was awesome and everyone in the office no matter what time of day I would email or call would answer my questions right away!

Without question - they offer THE MOST comprehensive plan of protection - PERIOD! Their staff - especially Lia - is very good at what she does and has been a pleasure to work with! I look forward to exploring all of the educational opportunities the AoR / AFF organization offers.
Greg Muench
We had an amazing experience with Andrew Marcantel.  He was very responsive and helpful to all the questions we had throughout the process.  Additionally, his team, including his paralegal - Andrea, and front desk staff were always very friendly and willing to help whenever possible.  We would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking for an attorney.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We are very lucky to have Andy and Andrea at our law firm.

I just did the update, and it was super easy. I have had these gentlemen on my phone and thankfully have never had to call them.
If I ever do, I will thank Heavy Duty Country for pointing them out.

Wow! That's some video. Thank you. I'm honored to sign up.
Robert Guidone
This firm is a pleasure to deal with, Mike Wasdin was excellent and patient. I'am new at this, and he couldn't be nicer, my wife and I signed up and Mike walked us through it all. Attorney's For Freedom, and Attorneys on Retainer, are the best by far, very precise and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend them for any legal matter, including great self defense options.

I had simple question. Answer came very quick.

They make the other (conceal carry) firms irrelevant.
Marvin Lopez-Rangel
They helped answer all my questions I had and could possibly think of that moment. These guys are the real deal. I would recommend them for legal help and legal defense. Super smart group of people. Absolutely amazing work. Y’all are a hidden gem.

After must research, I found AOR, best decision I made was to join. Stay safe out there!
Darren Miller
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.
John Lutu
Lia was very helpful at explaining her answers to my questions. Making me feel at ease. Left no stone unturned and even got my due date changed within 10 minutes. Keep up the great job AOR...

Only being a member for a week and speaking with some of the staff, I'm pleased already. Their attention to detail in regards to making sure all my questions were answered, was definitely reassuring. GOD forbid you have to use your weapon in a self defense incident, its good to know they have your best interest in mind
Response from the owner:Thanks Tim. We appreciate the kind words. We are committed to excellence in all we do. We have your back. Please feel free to reach out anytime. Marc
Tyler Foster
Attorneys for freedom, the Victors, and Rachel Moss have been the best legal representation I could ask for. The experience overall, given the circumstances have been excellent. Professional and experienced is what you need in unfortunate events and this Law firm truly stands by their name.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you! Thanks for the kind words. Marc
Jason Lewis
James was a HUGE help! I was on the fence between AOR and US Lawshield and after I called both companies I feel way more confident with my decision to go with AOR. I had specific questions about the contract and James was able to show me exactly where it said I was covered. The person with US Lawshield told me they were not 100% sure but they think I would not be covered under a specific circumstance. Again, I cannot overstate how great AOR (and James) has been for me so far. Granted, I never had to use them but if that day comes I feel prepared.
Donald Rowland
I recently had a question with my account I talked to Mark he was very helpful and patient with my question great friendly service. Glad I joined Attorneys for Freedom
Don Hufstedler
I asked a question and Austin not only followed up with an email he called and explained in detail which resolved my question concerning a form. It is great to actually get a person to respond and be as helpful as he was.
eric walls
Joining AOR was not because I was unhappy with my old provider. I am very happy with AOR because I became convinced that their services are superior for what I want. I want to know that I am covered if some thing goes down and I have to act.
Curt coolbandz
Love the quality of service provided by the team
Justin Andrick
I joined a few days ago after a careful review of other companies and I am glad that I joined AOR. I sent Marc an email introducing myself and shortly after sending that email Marc responded very quickly and thanked me for joining AOR. To me this is how business is done and you can see the compassion that AOR has to want to help and represent clients You won't find this anywhere else. I look forward to being a life long member of AOR. If you have not signed up with them what are you waiting for. I'm glad I joined. Join today for a peace of mind.

new member after seeing on heavy duty country, been with other one for 7 or 8 years and my blood ran cold when i saw how they treated some clients. I pray i never have to pull my weapon but nice to know i'll be really protected if i ever am put in that situation.
Response from the owner:Thanks Steven. We appreciate your trust in us. We won't let you down. Please reach out anytime if you have questions. Marc
J A Andakian
Excellent Customer Service and responses. Very detailed contract and video that ensures all aspects are clear and understood. If after the video if you have questions just click the appropriate box and they will clarify. Most important they are ATTORNEYS NOT AN INSURANCE COMPANY...they will not drop you when you need them most.
Response from the owner:Thank you! We are proud to represent you. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions. Marc

I've been signed up for almost a year now. Thankfully I have not needed AOR services. I did ask a question yesterday and received a prompt and accurate response. Thank you for your assistance.
Gregory Perdue
I didn't even get to set my phone down from send AOR a support message and they were calling me. This is the fastest customer service I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They took perfect care of my needs, and I was set to go.

No plan is perfect, but when I've watched "Guns and Gadgets," "Copper Jacket TV," and "Armed Scholar," explain why USCCA dropped it's members and why USCCA refused to provide services that they've promised, it was a no brainer. The Bible is clear. "Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." Three separate witnesses clearly established Attorneys On Retainer has a better plan. Do what's best for you. Do your homework, and "be convinced in your own mind."
Response from the owner:Thank you for your insightful 5-star review! We appreciate your thorough research and are honored that you have chosen Attorneys On Retainer as the better option for your needs. Our team is committed to providing reliable and trustworthy services to our members, and we are pleased to hear we have earned your confidence and trust.
Charles Haas Sr.
I want to express my gratitude to Attorneys for Freedom, especially to Emma Wittman and Greg Fitzpatrick, for their exceptional work in assisting me with a very stressful situation. When I called the emergency hotline, Emma managed my case with respect, speed, and efficiency. She was crucial in finding the right attorney to represent me in my state.
They devoted considerable time to ensuring the attorney was the right fit for me. I highly recommend that anyone needing legal assistance utilize their services; it's truly the best option.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We are so glad Emma and Craig could assist you during such a stressful time. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to provide you with the support you needed. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything in the future!

A company employees can make or break a company. Kaylie Nau, AOR Program Manager, helps make AOR a great law firm. I had a problem with my application, my fault. Kaylie got back to me promptly and help me get it straighten. Kaylie was great. Keep up the great work Kaylie.

Respectively

We are proud to have her on our team, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We will be sure to pass along your feedback to Kaylie, thank you for choosing AOR!
Andrew Wooster
I have been meaning to write this review for some time now. (Sorry for the delay Marc) I am a newer member of AOR and thankfully haven't had to use any of the services that come along with being a member. I do want to speak to the exceptional customer service I have received both before signing up and after. I think I watched several hours of YouTube videos on all the major plans available and commented on many, including AOR videos to which Marc replied. I know I emailed the firm with general questions multiple times and spoke to members of the firm twice before even signing up. Never once did I feel like they weren't available to answer questions. After signing up I was planning a vacation and reached out the the local sheriff's office about carrying in that state/city. I wasn't given much information at all, so... I reached out to AOR. Marc replied and gave me some general advice and then forwarded my email to a couple of associates at the firm Moises Morales and Pierre B Whyte, the two prepared a thoughtful email with great advice for protecting myself while on vacation. This is the type of service that, in my opinion makes Attorneys for Freedom and the AOR program different.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful 5-star review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that our team has been able to provide you with exceptional service. It is our priority to ensure our members have the support they need, and we are glad we could assist you in your preparations. Should you ever need anything in the future, do not hesitate to reach out!
Perry Saperstein
Feels good to switch from an insurance company to an actual lawyers firm that feels as strongly as I do about the Second Amendment and the right to carry.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5-star review! Our team is glad to hear that our commitment to the Second Amendment resonates with you. At our firm, we take pride in advocating for your rights, and we are honored that you put your trust in us.

I just signed up today for the Family Plan with Attorneys on Retainer with Tristan who was very professional and walked me through the entire process. He answered all the questions I had and spent as much time as I needed to fully understand what I was signing up for, which I appreciated very much!!! After all the research I did with all the other companies out there, Attorneys on Retainer was the right choice for me and my wife.
Thank you Tristan for all your help explaining everything to me.
This is a genuine law firm and not a company selling you a insurance policy. They are Legit!!!!!
Best Regards Tristan,
C. Shepett
Response from the owner:Thanks brother! We have the best team in place. Tristan is the bomb! We are lucky to have him. Always feel free to reach out with any questions. Welcome to AOR!

Just WOW, James was very very concise and accurate in the information he gave me, we spoke on the phone for over an hour and it was awesome! thank you so much for all the information you shared and i appreciate your dedication to informing others of the truth, If anyone reading this was like me on the fence about who to go with i strongly suggest you call AOR and fight out the truth, you will not be disappointed. God bless and take care!

My experience is from Elizabeth Mollen
by far one is the best attorneys there is back in 2009. I was looking at 14 to 20 she got one and a half years
amazing and it has fully changed my whole life ..
You truly will be lucky if you get Elizabeth as an attorney top notch …. Tim
William Keller
I think AOR is the best option and have just received my renewal. The firm refuses to answer this question: Has AOR ever represented anyone in my geographic area? No names, no details, just that question and they won’t answer it for “confidentiality” reasons. Strange I think.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5-star review, William! We have represented several people in different states on the east coast over the past 30 years. Attorney Andy Marcantel just appeared in a FL courthouse this week.  However, we have not yet had a case in NC.
Greg Howland
Money well spent
George Trask
I highly recommend attorneys for freedom.
The work that Andrew Marcantel and Andrea Yirak did on my son’s case was amazing. This is the team I would want defending me if I was ever in a serious legal situation.
