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.

I had to use the service after an incident at work, and Howard was very helpful at guiding me through the process which resulted in a positive outcome. I highly recommend both him and the AOR service.

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. AOR (attorneys for Freedom) is professional, I highly recommended Howard S. from AOR & am proud to have had the opportunity to have him represent me in my case. I knew from the first few minutes of speaking with him while LAPD was on the scene that he was there to help & defend me at all costs and AOR & Attorneys for Freedom will go above & beyond for they're clients . Take it from me 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Isaac. We’re proud of Howard and the professionalism and reassurance he provides in critical moments. Situations like yours can be stressful, and we’re glad you felt supported from the very beginning. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to us.
