How the Attorneys On Retainer program works :

Members throughout the country sign up with the Attorneys On Retainer Association by paying a one-time sign-up fee and a monthly membership fee. If a member is involved in a self-defense incident anywhere in the United States and is charged with a crime as a result, our legal team springs into action and zealously represents them. Our program boasts a national network of highly skilled criminal defense attorneys, who assist our team in getting admitted in the member’s local jurisdiction through the pro hac vice process and serve as local counsel. We represent our members in the pretrial phase, and all the way through trial if necessary, without any additional cost other than the price of their membership. We also provide a myriad of additional benefits, including bail coverage, expert fees, counseling, firearm replacement, and civil liability coverage in the event the member is sued in civil court.

An ideal candidate will have 10+ years’ experience as a criminal defense attorney and must have substantial jury trial experience representing clients in criminal cases where self-defense was alleged.

The candidate must be willing to travel throughout the United States and represent clients in self-defense cases for substantive hearings and trials, in accordance with local pro hac vice rules and under the supervision of our network of local attorneys throughout the United States. Our law firm pays for all travel expenses and applicable admission fees.

An ideal candidate would be able to contribute to our program’s public outreach by appearing on our popular YouTube podcast to discuss case analysis and legal education, as well as traveling for trade shows and conferences. Additionally, our program has a dedicated interest in pro-freedom pro bono cases, representing indigent defendants charged in self-defense cases and filing appellate briefs involving important constitutional issues. A candidate would add value to our program’s mission by contributing to these pro bono pursuits.
