“A LegalShield member was pulled over late one night for a burned out tail light by an officer he happened to know from his church congregation. When the officer returned from routinely running his license he told the member he was under arrest for 47 felonies and 82 misdemeanors. When his protests that it was not him failed to dissuade the officer, he asked to call his attorney. "At 10:30pm? No attorney is going to answer the phone!" When the member actually got an attorney from his Texas LegalShield provider law firm on the phone, who then, in turn, conferenced in LegalShield provider attorneys from Arizona, New Mexico, California, Oregon and Washington (the other 5 states where the felonies had been committed), the officer called his Chief to come down and see it first-hand. The attorneys persuaded the Chief to allow the member to return home to spend Christmas weekend with his family. By the following Tuesday the law firms had cleared up all the charges.
They then turned the cases over to a IDShield licensed investigator (included in the member's ID Shield coverage) who discovered that over 300 individuals had been using the member's identity as a result of his car being broken into and documents stolen. Within two weeks IDShield had restored the member's identity to pre-theft status. Now THAT is peace of mind! Thank you LegalShield.”
