In my view AOR is the premier organization for Concealed carry citizens, I have just had another very Professional interaction with one of their representatives Miss Stacy Peterson, Professional staff and Professional Accessible attorneys is their hallmark, after an unpleasant experience with USSCA it is like finding an oasis in a desert! Thank you, Again Marc Victor, for your work and your staff!

Because I have had a run-in with my local police in the past about defending the life of a third party, I was concerned about police trying to find a way to charge me when I had to defend myself with a knife last night.
I called the Emergency number so that I could avoid a "why didn't you call us" conversation later.
After I was connected to Howard Snader, he listened to my account of the event that transpired as well as the incident from my past. He assured me that I did the right thing by calling and he checked in on me this morning to make sure I was still a free man.
I let him know that assailant had been arrested last night and he is also on an ICE HOLD.

Attorneys for Freedom is an amazing law firm with very experienced attorneys. My attorney who represented me Howard S. from attorneys for freedom was the most informative and experienced attorney I have ever spoke to & kept me calm and reassured throughout the entire process of my self defense incident here in CA.
