“Everything was seamless and very positive. I have been a member for a few years but never had the need to use so was unsure of the process. I called the number on the LegalShield website and they gave me the number for the [provider law firm], I called gave my information and the [provider law firm] called me back in a short amount of time with great advice.”

“We had a client over 90 days in arrears. It took about 15 minutes to explain the situation and a demand letter was written immediately! Fast and easy. Thanks.”
—LegalShield Member
“I have had an extraordinary experience with [my Provider], Lawyer! I had a very serious matter that he was able to do exactly as I had hoped. I asked him to be an advocate on my behalf rather than use a typical lawyer demeanour. He was able to do just that and was successful in working out an agreement that was amenable to both parties.”
—LegalShield Member and Independent Associate
“I had great advice and a letter that was accepted that he drafted and now I am able to go on with “business as usual”. I needed time and [He] was able to work that out for me with compassion and sincerity on my behalf to someone that I owned a great deal of money. He has redeemed me in the eyes of someone who had been wonderful to me and now our friendship can get past our differences.”
—LegalShield Member and Independent Associate
“It takes a special lawyer to negotiate a situation by being sincere to gain the trust of the other party who did not have any trust left and I owe so much to [my Provider Lawyer] and LegalShield. This is truly a service that everyone needs for their personal lives and to protect their business. I can’t thank [Him] or LegalShield enough for being there when I needed them the most.”
