7 Safety Essentials Every Client Should Consider at Home and On-the-Go

Published by Jones Law LLC

Whether you’re dealing with a family law matter, domestic conflict, or a criminal case with personal safety concerns, having the right tools can offer peace of mind. Below are seven safety-related items we commonly recommend to clients for everyday protection at home or while out in the community.

1. Personal Safety Alarm Keychain

A small, affordable device that fits on your keys and emits a loud alarm when activated. It can draw attention quickly in an emergency, especially when walking alone or in parking lots.

2. Door Stop Alarm

This compact wedge fits under any door and sounds an alarm if the door is opened. It’s ideal for clients staying in hotels, temporary housing, or apartments. No installation required.

3. Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera with App Access

Modern Wi-Fi cameras let you monitor your home from your phone and receive motion alerts in real time. Many are easy to install and affordable, offering added peace of mind when you’re away.

4. Smart Lock or Keypad Entry

No need to carry keys or worry about lost copies—smart locks let you control access with codes or via app. You can also set up temporary codes for guests or service providers.

5. Portable Phone Charger (Power Bank)

Staying charged is crucial if you need to call for help, check security footage, or use location tracking. Keep a backup charger in your bag or vehicle at all times.

6. Pepper Spray or Stun Device

In Georgia, pepper spray is legal for most adults to carry. A discreet pepper spray or stun device can offer protection, but it’s essential to understand proper use and storage. Always check local laws and consult your attorney if you’re unsure about what’s permitted in your situation.

7. Lockable Document Bag or Fireproof Safe

Keep sensitive documents, ID, or legal paperwork protected with a fireproof and lockable container. Especially useful for clients involved in custody, protective orders, or criminal defense.

Final Thoughts

Legal cases can bring uncertainty, but small proactive steps can help you feel more secure. If you’re dealing with specific threats or concerns, talk to your attorney before purchasing or using any security device.
