The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm

The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm is a regional legal practice headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, with an additional office in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Established in 1997 by Marc J. Victor, the firm primarily focuses on criminal defense, personal injury, and civil rights matters, with a pronounced specialization in self-defense cases, particularly those involving firearms. The firm is noted for its "pro-freedom" stance and its commitment to defending individual liberties. While its core expertise lies outside traditional intellectual property, the firm has some experience in IP litigation, primarily acting as local counsel.

In the realm of patent litigation, The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm’s activity appears limited to specific cases aligning with its focus on firearms-related legal issues. The firm acted as local counsel for KE ARMS, LLC in the patent infringement dispute, ABC IP, LLC et al. v. KE ARMS, LLC et al. (also known as GWACS Armory, LLC et al v. KE Arms, LLC et al.). The underlying technology in this notable case involved forced reset trigger mechanisms and alleged patent and IP theft concerning monolithic polymer firearm lowers. The firm's involvement in this case indicates a defendant-side preference within its limited patent litigation engagements, consistent with its overall defense-oriented practice.

A significant outcome for a client represented by the firm in this area includes KE Arms' victory by jury verdict in the GWACS Armory lawsuit in November 2024, after several years of litigation. Earlier in the proceedings, many of the causes of action against KE Arms and other defendants were dismissed. The firm does not appear to have a dedicated or notable practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) for inter partes reviews (IPRs) or post-grant reviews (PGRs).

Marc J. Victor, the firm's founder and managing partner, is a Certified Criminal Law Specialist with extensive courtroom experience, particularly in firearms-related legal matters, which underpins the firm's involvement in cases like KE ARMS. Other key attorneys mentioned in firm profiles include Andrew C. Marcantel, a criminal defense attorney, and Susan Euteneuer, who serves as General Counsel and Chief Civil Counsel for civil claims arising from self-defense incidents.
