Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Attorney on Retainer plan and how does it work?

Instead of paying a lawyer by the hour (ranging from $350 – $650 per hour), you only pay a small monthly fee (starting at $25) and you’ll have access to the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm for your self-defense case. You’ll also receive FREE Strategy Sessions on any new legal matters that are applicable to the Self-Protection plan (both Local and National). Using the plan just once can save you literally thousands of dollars.

Does the plan cover pre-existing legal problems?

No. You must be a member of the Attorneys on Retainer program BEFORE you have a legal problem. Pre-existing legal matters are not applicable.

What is your cancellation policy and how do I cancel?

Members can cancel at any time. However, your $100 sign-up fee is non-refundable. To cancel your membership, please email aor@attorneysforfreedom.com or call 866-404-5112.

How do I speak with a lawyer in an emergency situation?

If it’s an emergency and it’s after hours, you simply call the office (Arizona: 480-755-7110 or Hawaii: 808-647-2423) and an operator will connect you to one of our attorneys to assist you.

What happens if a new legal issue comes up? Do I need to pay for a Strategy Session?

No. Strategy Sessions are FREE for all new and applicable matters.

What if my CCW is invalid at the time of a self-defense incident, will you still cover the AOR member?

YES, you are covered no matter the status of your CCW license.

What are there, if any, exclusions on the weapons that you cover in the self-defense program?

There are no exclusions for weapons in our Attorneys on Retainer program. If you claim self-defense and use any weapon, we will cover you.

What fees would an AOR member be responsible for?

The Client shall be responsible for the payment of expenses incurred on the Client’s behalf, which include, but are not limited to, the following: expert witnesses, investigators, polygraph examinations, DNA examinations, and other scientific tests, fees related to discovery and departmental reports, medical records, bail bond fees, transcripts, process servers, electronic research (Westlaw), extensive photocopies or postage, and, in the case of appeals, the appellate record, and any other expenses which in the judgment of the Attorney are necessary to your representation. However, in the event there are additional fees, the attorney is able to submit appeals to the judge to request that additional fees are covered by the court, but this is not always granted or guaranteed.

Is there a reimbursement of expenses or are they paid as incurred?

NO, monetary reimbursement pertains to insurance. Again, this opens the door for our AOR client/member to explore other insurance options with other companies.

How is a family member determined under your plans?

Each family member must have the head of household’s same address to be considered on the “family plan.”

Under the current agreement “Cooperation” a Client agrees to immediately contact Attorney in the event legal representation in any “Applicable Legal Matter is necessary.” What is the procedure to enact the AOR program in the event a self-defense situation arises?

We will ALWAYS say to call 9-1-1 FIRST.
i. Let them know there has been a shooting, stabbing, etc.
ii. Request law enforcement
iii. Request medical.
If you are unable to contact the Attorneys For Freedom, someone else is able to do so for you the get the process started on the backend.

Do you have a 24/7/365 emergency number to contact?

Yes, we have a toll-free number. Call us at (866)-303-3476 in case of an emergency.

a. Once Attorneys On Retainer has been contacted on a Criminal Self-Defense matter, our team will contact a practicing attorney in the state the incident has occurred.
b. OUR attorney will get admitted into that state.
c. We will be able to handle ALL legal matters until the case is closed.
