Attorneys On Retainer Revolutionizes Criminal Defense With Four-Attorney Trial Teams

October 30, 2025

Attorneys On Retainer (AOR) raises the bar by providing four-attorney trial teams for every criminal self-defense felony case. AOR offers solid legal support without the high fees or exclusions typical of self-defense programs backed by traditional insurance.

“From this moment forward, if you are an AOR client and you go to trial on a felony case, you will have four lawyers in the courtroom with you.”

-Attorney Marc. J. Victor

 

A Written Agreement

Effective immediately, The AFF Legal Services Agreement has been updated to include the following clause: “At any felony trial, AFF shall provide four lawyers in the courtroom.” This ensures that each felony trial defense team will consist of three in-house attorneys from The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm (AFF) and one local attorney from the member’s jurisdiction. Every member has the option to select a local attorney of their choice. However, if the member doesn’t have someone in mind, AFF will choose a trusted local attorney.

 

Why Four Attorneys Matter

High-stakes criminal self-defense trials demand multiple perspectives. That’s why AOR assembles a team of four attorneys to deliver the legal support typically reserved for the affluent and high-profile. This isn’t just extra support; it’s a strategic advantage.

Self-defense charges often lead to serious penalties, including extended prison time and ongoing reputational harm. AOR’s team of attorneys provides a layered, tactical defense from all angles—protecting your rights and your future.

Prominent criminal cases like George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse show the advantage of having multiple attorneys at trial. These complex and fast-changing cases need constant focus on legal strategy, courtroom updates, and objections. Having more legal experts results in a stronger defense and better protection of your rights. At AOR, our team of four trial attorneys offers this practical approach, ensuring you receive the comprehensive defense that top-level cases require.

“It’s just not sufficient to have only one lawyer if the goal is to provide the absolute best defense… We want to provide our clients the exact same type of legal team and expertise that the rich and famous can get.”

-Attorney Andrew Marcantel

 

AOR as the Industry Leader

AOR didn’t just step into the self-defense legal field; we transformed it.
