The selection of attorneys for our members involved in self defense is case specific, because each case is different.  Don talks about some of the professional organizations and associations that CCW Safe looks at in the selection of attorneys, and also about their experience in self defense cases.  Don also talks about finding those attorneys who are respected in their communities, not only by other lawyers, but by judges and the prosecutors as well.  In short, CCW Safe will find our members the best attorney for their case, first and foremost that the members interest will be their first commitment.

“Our members are sometimes in a life and death situation. When we call upon these lawyers, we want the right lawyers for the right time.”  -Don West
