Yes, both are on the panel of lawyers.

Even if true, cases where charges were dropped before the case progressed very far into the system (i.e. the cheapest and simplest instances) aren't quite the examples of coverage that I am wondering about. I am specifically interested in cases where an accused was charged and prosecuted, and the case progressed through verdict, and the accused received the benefit of insurance coverage throughout. That case would be a matter of public record, and possibly even reported via independently verifiable means (e.g. CanLII, Carswell, etc.).

I too am interested in seeing some examples where the client was defended to the very end.
I understand you skepticism but you should do a little more research if you want to have a valid opinion.
This DOES what they say they do. PERIOD
When the RCMP/Police realizes we ALL have the capacity to fight in court, they will realize they cannot waste their time with these petty charges
On another note..
What really gets me is how everyone is nickle and dime when it comes to anything to do with firearms
Be it memberships with the CSSA, NFA and CCFR or firearm Legal Defense
It takes money to get things going.
Everyone thinks ME ME ME
Well WHAT have YOU done for your fellow gun owner?
Let me guess NOTHING
Its a numbers game fellas
stop being a cheap skate and get involved
RESEARCH and GET INVOLVED
WHY do you think we always get the $hit end of the stick?
let me remind you
ME ME ME What do I get, what's in it for me
keep saying that till we all lose our guns
$85 a year for such a service.
If you don't see the value in that.... Enjoy your trial and thanks for NOT helping others

Fortunately, we take this seriously and only bring good lawyers onto the panel. The ones that can get Charges dropped before going to court. We hope, for our clients sake, that they never have to go through a full trial. However, if/when they do, I will be sure to post the claim details here for everyone to read. In the mean time, we will do our best to ensure our clients don't face the inside of a court room.
All good legal counsel will endeavour to keep their clients out of the uncertain battlefield that is the courtroom. In the criminal context, this is especially difficult, because the Crown holds all of the power to require that you be there, at least initially. Few criminal cases will result in charges being dropped before an accused makes a first appearance. Most that are dropped (and there aren't many, in the overall scheme of things) happen later.
Your comment that the only good lawyers are the ones that keep their clients out of court is silly. Both Ed Burlew and Solomon Friedman, who you have named as being on the panel, have had to take clients through the trial process. That doesn't make them bad lawyers.
The only conclusion that I can safely draw from your comments - and I remain completely open to hearing more, as that was the point of the inquiry - is that the insurance coverage has been applied quite rarely, and never through an entire trial process. Which is fine - everything must start somewhere - but it does leave some issues unanswered.

I think the biggest thing is knowing you don't have to plead guilty because you cannot afford a trial. For a couple of measly dollars you at the very least have something.
The crown will try to hold their "bluff" all the way to the end and make your life a living hell. They do say the process IS the punishment
If the crown loses in court and precedent is set, it would work against them. So unless they have a open and shut case chances are they will not.
Depending on how bad of a case it is
Remember one thing is that 99.9% of firearms owners are good law abiding people and as long as you kept your mouth shut and haven't given them more "evidence" to go on, chances are good the charges would be dropped.
The key in having insurance is to deter them from harassing gun owners IMO
my 2 cents
I remember reading quite awhile back that when the Crown found out the accused had insurance to cover costs, the charges were dropped....
Not a specific case but fellow board members making statements.
