Practice Limited to Self-Defense Cases

Susan Euteneuer serves as General Counsel for Attorneys For Freedom and Chief Civil Counsel to Attorneys On Retainer clients nationwide.

Susan defends AOR clients facing civil claims arising from covered self-defense incidents. Even when criminal charges are not filed, or a client is acquitted in criminal court, civil lawsuits can still follow. Susan coordinates and leads the civil defense strategy, working alongside local counsel, experts, investigators, and the criminal defense team to protect AOR clients.

After the 24/7 Strike Force call, she works closely with the criminal defense team, so she understands the facts, criminal defense strategy, expert analysis, and potential civil exposure long before any lawsuit is filed.

Susan is committed to protecting the rights, freedom, and legal interests of AOR clients. She brings decades of experience from both law firm practice and senior in-house legal roles involving complex disputes, high-stakes litigation, and multi-state matters.

Susan was also instrumental in the formation of The Attorneys On Retainer Association and AOR’s 50-state Risk Retention Group structure. In her role as General Counsel, she continues to collaborate on legal, operational, and strategic matters across the organization.
