  • The USCCA Law Critical Response Team is available 24/7/365 after a self-defense incident.
  • Members retain the freedom to choose their own attorney, including attorneys outside USCCA Law.

Knowing how USCCA Law works — and how to access it — is an important step you can take before you ever need legal help.

What Is USCCA Law?

USCCA Law is an independent law firm dedicated to representing USCCA Members in self-defense incidents. Its attorneys focus on self-defense law and understand the unique legal issues responsibly armed Americans may face after using force to protect themselves or others.

Access to USCCA Law is included with USCCA Membership at no additional cost.

USCCA Law works alongside the existing USCCA Attorney Network rather than replacing it. Members retain the freedom to choose their own attorney, including an attorney they already know and trust.

The goal is to give members a more direct path to legal support when the stakes are highest.

USCCA Law and the Critical Response Team

The Critical Response Team (CRT) is part of USCCA Law and is a member’s first call after 911.

When a member calls the critical response line, the call goes to the team, which works for USCCA Law. Their role is to help connect the member with appropriate legal support, not to evaluate an insurance claim.

Because the Critical Response Team is part of the law firm, attorney-client privilege is available from the first call, even before a member speaks directly with an attorney.

The CRT connects the member with an attorney. If the member has selected a preferred attorney, the team starts there. If not, a USCCA Law attorney in states where USCCA Law is available or an attorney from the USCCA Attorney Network everywhere else will be contacted.

Accessing USCCA Law After a Self-Defense Incident

If you are involved in a critical self-defense incident, your first priority is your immediate safety and contacting the appropriate authorities.

After that, USCCA Members can reach the USCCA Law Critical Response Team by calling: 877-677-1919
Press the star (*) key to reach the USCCA Law Critical Response Team.

The Critical Response Team is available 24/7/365. A USCCA Law team member can confirm you are safe, gather essential information and begin coordinating the legal support you may need.

If the incident requires immediate attorney support, the CRT can connect you with an attorney.

You don’t need to search online for an attorney or start making calls while dealing with the stress of a critical incident. One call connects you directly with the law firm’s team.

Save the number in your phone now and make sure you know how to access it before an emergency happens.

Researching USCCA Law Attorneys Before an Incident

Preparing for the legal aftermath of self-defense shouldn’t begin after something happens.

USCCA Members can visit USCCALaw.com to learn more about the firm and the attorneys who represent members in self-defense cases. Reviewing attorney profiles before an incident can help you better understand who may be standing beside you if you ever need legal representation.

Members can also access attorney information through their USCCA Member Account.

Taking time to understand your legal resources now means there is one less thing to figure out during the stressful aftermath of a self-defense incident.

The USCCA Attorney Network

The USCCA Attorney Network is a nationwide network of independent attorneys available to USCCA Members. It continues to work alongside USCCA Law and remains an important part of the legal-support experience.

USCCA Law provides members with direct access to a law firm dedicated to self-defense, while the Attorney Network helps extend access to experienced legal counsel across the country.

Members can use the Attorney Network section of their Member Account to research attorneys before they ever need one.

Choosing Your Attorney

You do not need to use an attorney from the USCCA Law firm. You retain the freedom to choose your own qualified attorney.

USCCA Law is available to members, but you are not required to use the firm. If you already have a qualified attorney you know and trust, you can choose that attorney instead.

Depending on where you are and whether you’ve selected a preferred attorney, the critical response team connects you with a USCCA Law attorney or an attorney from the USCCA attorney network.

The important thing is to understand your options before you are faced with making those decisions under stress.

USCCA Law Access with USCCA Membership

Yes. Access to USCCA Law is included with every USCCA Membership at no additional cost.

USCCA Law does not replace the self-defense liability insurance benefit included with USCCA Membership. The law firm and insurance benefit are separate and work alongside one another as part of the broader support available to members.

USCCA Law provides the legal team. The self-defense liability insurance remains a separate Membership benefit subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the applicable policy.

Prepare Before You Need Legal Help

No responsibly armed American wants to be involved in a self-defense incident. But just as you train with your firearm and learn the laws governing self-defense, you can prepare for what may happen afterward.

Take a few minutes now to familiarize yourself with USCCA Law and the attorneys who may be available to help you. Save 877-677-1919 in your phone. Remember that pressing the star (*) key connects you with the USCCA Law Critical Response Team.
