However, I have found that any incurred expenses would be reimbursed, not provided up front, according to information I have read here. In looking at coverage from a comparison chart on this forum, it appears as though CCW Safe provides the criminal defense without out of pocket expenses incurred by the client.

My questions are directed towards people who have made their choices.
1. Does Second Call Defense require their client to pay for their criminal and civil defenses up front, then reimburse those expenses?
2. Does CCW Safe actually provide criminal defense without the client paying for their defense up front?
3. Does CCW Safe provide legal support in civil liability cases, after the criminal case is resolved?
4. With CCW Safe, in the event a client is found inoccent of criminal charges, but found liable in civil litigation because of a defensive shooting, do they cover any civil judgment?

Being a single, disabled, custodial parent, I have to make the poignant decisions for not only my children's and my physical safety, but also for our financial future. At this point, I am anxious to hear about first hand experience as opposed to business advertising.

Thank you in advance for your constructive assistance!
