If an encounter with law enforcement escalates into an unlawful arrest or use of force, the Attorney Shield Member Protection Warranty may help offset documented out-of-pocket costs — so a stressful moment doesn't become a financial setback.
The Warranty reimburses qualifying out-of-pocket costs resulting from an unlawful escalation or arrest, subject to its terms. No extra charge, automatically included with every new or renewed membership.
Laws vary by state, but courts have identified common circumstances where an arrest or use of force may be deemed unlawful.
An arrest occurs due to incorrect information or a case of mistaken identity.
A warrant based on false, missing, or misleading information can be invalid.
An officer must have specific, articulable facts to believe a crime occurred or is about to.
An arrest may be unlawfully influenced by discrimination or improper personal bias.
In some states, a resisting charge requires that the underlying arrest was itself lawful.
Inventing a confession or statement, writing false facts in a report, or planting evidence.
Even when no charges stick, an escalated encounter can bring towing fees, fines, lost wages, and legal costs. The Warranty helps soften eligible post-incident expenses after a covered event.
Up to $1,000 in reimbursements for qualifying out-of-pocket costs resulting from unlawful escalations or arrests by law enforcement.
No. The $1,000 benefit is included automatically at no additional charge with your new or renewed membership.
