I recently worked with Brittany at Attorneys for Freedom, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process. The paralegals and staff who assisted with my case were equally impressive—always responsive, organized, and professional. The entire office operates with a high level of professionalism, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients. Brittany’s expertise and the support of the whole team made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of excellent legal representation.

I love this place. With them you can retain peace of mind. They offer protection from our very overreaching governments. That would be state and federal and as we all know they will try to lock you away for the act of defending oneself in certain places. I’m not rich, nor even well off, I honestly tread water most of the time and there is never enough funds to go around. That’s one of the things I like most about AoR , when they charge the monthly fee and the funds are not there, they notify me promptly so I can make the needed arrangements to cover the charge rather than just canceling me , this is great and I highly recommend this firm to anyone wanting the peace of mind that comes with the type of protection they provide. As far as I know these guys are the only people offering the protection with NO INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE LOOP. This is what you want, a retained law firm instead of insurance that would deny your first claim in hopes you won’t or can’t press them further to try to make themcover you. I sincerely believe AoR is hands down the best option and recommend them with a completely clear conscience that I steered anyone looking in the right direction. The customer service is simply fabulous as well. I have had them retained for a while now with exactly zero regrets. If your on the fence or anything go ahead and jump into AoR’s side and you will also have zero regrets!

Great group of professionals. I trust them with my life; they are the gatekeepers of my freedom against a motivated DA that doesn't support 2A. I hope that I never need them, but so thankful they are only a phone call away.

Use the same force that you feel is aimed at you? It's important to recognize the law in regardless. If you are in your home, with your family, it's not a concern of the same gravity.I like the idea you guys offer ie protection to protect yourself? And I liked to think that's the only defendable concern. Life is not that simple?Good job, I have a title that makes it easier to protect myself?

Have not have/had a reason to call as of yet, however, they are Better to have and not need them, than to Need them and not have them. I rest peacefully knowing I have some "Heavy Hitters/Big Shots" in our corner. With the rise of lawlessness and criminal foolishness, if/since you firmly believe in self-defense, it's best of your interest to have this Law Firm.
