About this broadcast

Join AMAC President Dave Weber and Attorney Joey Hamby from Attorneys on Retainer for an informative discussion on the common misconceptions surrounding self-defense cases.

As part of Attorneys on Retainer, AMAC’s newest member benefit, this webinar will examine the myths and misunderstandings that often shape public perceptions of self-defense. Many people form their opinions based on news reports, internet searches, artificial intelligence tools, movies, books, social media, and everyday conversations—but the legal realities can be very different.

Should you have a self-defense plan? What should you say—or not say—to law enforcement after an incident? If you exercise your right to remain silent or request an attorney, will that make you appear guilty? Could you still be arrested even if you acted in self-defense?

These are just a few of the questions that defense attorneys address every day. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and provide practical guidance on understanding your rights before, during, and after a self-defense incident.
