What They Say?

LegalShield & IDShield Membership Testimonials

We were pleased and would highly recommend your services.

The lawyer who spoke with me was extremely helpful. She answered all my questions, made sure I knew where to complete the Will forms online, and called me to confirm information to complete our forms. The completed Will, Power of Attorney, and Directive to Physicians were completed and back to us within a week. We were pleased and would highly recommend your services.

Frequently asked questions

Instead of paying a lawyer by the hour, you pay a small fee and have access to an independent lawyer that will provide a huge variety of legal services without a huge legal bill.

Services like consultation with a lawyer, document review, drafting of debt collection letters and defense at civil trials are included as standard benefits. Using the plan just once can save you literally thousands of dollars.

Using the plan is as simple as signing up and contacting our team. Once you’re a member, customer support will connect you with an independent lawyer in your area who specializes in the specific legal issue with which you need help.

Also, you can download LegalShield super-simple app to quickly access your legal benefits and member perks anytime.

Most LegalShield memberships are processed within one business day. You can use your plan as soon as your membership application is reviewed and your account is set up.

The review process takes 8-24 business hours (or less) from the moment you purchase your plan.

Once accepted, you can connect with your provider law firm within four business hours once your request is submitted.

They are also available 24/7 for legal emergencies.

The Legal Plan pays 100% of the attorney fees for a broad range of legal services.

The Member pays no attorney fees for all fully covered services and receives a 25% savings on attorney fees for all other legal services, including pre-existing legal matters.

When you need legal help that does not fall under the standard benefits, you may be able to work with your provider law firm for 25% off their standard hourly rates.

The total cost depends on factors such as the area of law, your geographic location, and your lawyer’s hourly rate.

What we can say for sure is that if you are a member and work with your provider law firm under the discounted rates, you could save as a LegalShield member over hiring a lawyer directly. Costs are subject to change depending on the legal matter and its circumstances.
