As a firearms instructor, I can feel confident in recommending my students and community to reach out to James Belcher as a great point of contact to get the professional and friendly service to seek the legal protection needed for the "after self-defense" defense. Thank you James 🫡

James Belcher has been such an amazing point of contact for me since the day I inquired for information to protect our church security team with the AOR coverage. When they were revamping their system to optimize to make our situation work well, he was the one to reach out and always has been friendly, professional, and a great representation for their company. I definitely will recommend AOR and James to all my people.
