The essential layer of protection. Before you say a word to anyone else, you talk to us — and if it goes further, your arraignment is already covered.
Day or night, a call connects you to counsel before you say anything else to law enforcement or anyone involved in the incident.
Non-emergency legal questions about carry laws, use-of-force standards in your state, or general firearms law — scheduled at no additional cost.
If a covered incident leads to arrest, your arraignment — the first formal court appearance — is covered under this tier.
You're matched with a state-licensed attorney in our network, briefed on self-defense and firearms law, not a general practice referral.
First Response covers you from your first call through arraignment. If your case proceeds to investigation, pretrial motions, or trial, you'll need to upgrade before that stage begins to stay covered.
