“Recently I had a problem with a Real Estate Professional. My LegalShield lawyer stayed on top of the situation and even called on their own to check and see how I was doing! Now that is professional on another level. It showed me that my lawyer cared not only about my case, but about me as a human being (which lawyers are rarely known for). Thank you LegalShield for a job being well done!”

“LegalShield saved me over $300 by writing a letter to my [my internet provider] getting me out of a 24-month contract due to several issues. [My provider law firm] is also helping me out with my Will! Thank you.”

“[My provider lawyer] was great to work with. He listened and very quickly understood exactly what happened to us at the [local car] dealership. The letter he composed was enough to leverage the dealership to step up and take responsibility for their shortcomings during the service of the vehicle. Thank to [my provider lawyer] the dealership agreed to provide the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. Thank you.”

“Had no idea what a Power of Attorney letter was until my son’s grandmother asked me to get one made while he’s out of state with her. I just want to thank LegalShield for providing me with that document for free because I asked the lawyer how much would this have been outside of LegalShield, she said $800 for consultation $400 for sending information to her and $1,400 for the document being created I’m like woooooooooow I just saved $2,600. That’s why I love LegalShield.”

“Divorce with children is never easy, especially for the children. Having a provider firm that is caring and empathetic towards my personal situation has taken a bit of the burden and stress off me. That has freed me up to be the mom I want to be for my children, without the worry of the divorce process. I couldn’t be more grateful for the help and support I’ve received from them! Kudos to such an amazing team of professionals who haven’t forgotten the power of human kindness!”

Speeding tickets: Contact your lawyer and they will represent you. They may be able to avoid points, save your license and save you time and money.
Crashes: Help dealing with insurance companies, other drivers, and the police is covered by your plan. Rest easy as we take care of difficult accidents.
Lost license: You have up to 2.5 hours of lawyer time to help you get a driver’s license reinstated.
