Currently, FLEOA retains the services of four attorneys plus legal staff. All FLEOA attorneys have vast experience in dealing with critical situations and adverse actions. They are all 100% dedicated to providing legal counsel to our regular and retired members. In the first quarter of 2010, our attorneys jacketed over 2,500 cases, which was a substantial increase from 2008 where our legal team jacketed 1,615 cases.
In 2009, our legal team responded to and represented our members in 55 shootings. That is an average of more than one shooting per week. In the first quarter of 2010, our attorneys have represented our members in 11 shootings. On average, the cost of defending an agent in an adverse action would cost between $10,000 to $20,000. If the agent were involved in a shooting, it would cost $50,000 or more dollars to defend. Comparably, the cost of joining FLEOA is currently $105 per year for a regular member and $40 for a retired member. Over the span of a 20-year career, the cost of a regular membership would be a little more than $2,000. A retainer fee for an attorney would start at $2,000, but realistically it would be in the neighborhood of $5,000.
FLEOA membership is similar to purchasing insurance, you hope you never need it, but when you do, you are thankful you have it. FLEOA is more than just legal representation, but for the low cost of $105 per year, knowing you have a highly qualified attorney on retainer everyday of the year is an exceptional bargain. Other professional law enforcement organizations charge three to five times as much as FLEOA. Join FLEOA today and know that if the need arises, the best attorneys in the industry will represent you.
