We have a phrase in my industry that "You either have teenage drivers or you drive like a teenager".
My friend's son went through a wild accident...thankfully he's ok! But also, THANK GOD FOR LEGAL PROTECTION.
"On March 11th, Douglas was in an accident , involving 3 🚗 cars and totaling all 3.
Praise God 🙏 everyone walked away. 🚶
Today we went to court. 🧑‍⚖️
Thank God we have our Legal Membership . Douglas has his very own attorney to spend time talking about the accident.
We were able to have the attorney negotiate with the officer to a lesser charge and no points. (This keeps our insurance rate low!!)
The best part is, all is cover with our membership with no extra cost to us.
No stress to find the right attorney, and no stress to see how to pay for the hourly fees. 💰
I have been a happy member since 2006 and this is one of many situations I have used my services.
I rather have the membership and not need it than need it and not have it."

We have an employee who had $1,500 taken from his checking account. The employee thought it was the IRS so he called them first, but they said it wasn't them - as long as he is making payments he is good. Next, he headed to the bank. The bank claimed they had no idea and 'sorry we can't help you'. Our employee was so stressed and confused with his back against the wall. Then, he called LegalShield. This was on a Friday. His LegalShield attorney said 'let us check and do a few things and we’ll be back in touch'. Today, Wednesday, he received a call from LegalShield to let him know that his bank reversed the transaction and returned all his money! Go LEGALSHIELD. LegalShield is like a financial common-sense membership to have, and it's one of the many reasons why we are so happy to offer this to all our employees."

"I own a small auto repair business. A year ago, I was accused of a multitude of things by a customer and, while all of it was completely false, that customer sued me. So that I didn't lose by default, I had to defend myself in court. Thankfully, I have been a member of LegalShield for years. I just spent three days in court with a full jury while my LegalShield lawyer took the plaintiff apart and exposed all the lies of the accusations one by one. The jury unanimously found in MY favor on each and every count. I am so grateful. If I had lost, I would have had to pay over $37,000 plus court costs and legal fees. As a member of LegalShield, my trial defense hours were covered so they didn't cost me anything... and I won. I can't even describe the sense of relief I have."

“I recently subscribed to LegalShield because I had several annoying situations going on all at once, and I wanted to see if lawyers could help. The first time I called in to my Provider Firm, I told the gal about what I was dealing with and she gave me an intake number. I got a call from Lawyer #1 in 7 minutes. Lawyer #1 told me he'd handle two issues (within his area of expertise) and he’d pass the other two issues off to lawyer #2. Lawyer #2 called me about 2 hours later, and while I was on the line with him going over details, I received an email from Lawyer #1 with the draft of the demand letter he was about to send on my behalf. I was blown away by this quick response, and definitely blown away realizing that the conversations with TWO lawyers and the services they were providing for me would not cost me a penny over my monthly subscription fee. I wish I’d had LegalShield for many situations over the last 5 years.”

"A car accident last year and a nearly fatal crash a few months after left my mom with multiple complications. One of them was severe pain in her hip, limiting her movements and completely eliminating her physical activity. After months of doctors appointments and physical therapy we decided to try deep laser treatment. I applied for Care Credit and booked her for 12 sessions. Then, Covid showed up and interrupted her treatment - all appointments stopped. I didn't think it was fair that I got stuck with the whole bill when she didn't get all her treatments. I repeatedly called and emailed the facility, and when I finally got in touch with one of the staff members there, they simply said, 'There are no refunds on unused appointments'. At that point, I called LegalShield and spoke with an attorney at my Provider Law Firm. He had me send him all the paperwork I'd signed for my mom's treatment, which he reviewed, then he decided to write a letter on my behalf. That one letter resulted in a refund for $1,133.00. This has paid for my membership for the next almost 4 years, and it it was all covered under my monthly subscription."

“I took my car to get an oil change. The dealership gave me a call and said they crashed my car. Uh, are you kidding me? They said they’d fix my car, but it would take 5 days and of course they wouldn’t charge me for the oil change. Well, I use that car for ride sharing to earn more money - I mentioned this to the sales guy and asked what about the money I’d be losing? He said ‘sorry - that had nothing to do with them’. What?! I went from that salesperson to his manager, to his supervisor, and all of them said the same thing: ‘Sorry - not our problem or policy.’ I couldn’t believe it. I called my LegalShield law firm and the lawyer I chatted with agreed with ME that it WAS their problem, and he wrote a letter to the dealership's corporate office. Guess who called me back with an apology? Two weeks later I received a check for $1,000 for lost wages!”

We don’t plan on …
• getting into an auto accident, but we keep our auto insurance
• a serious illness, but we keep our health insurance
• dying this year, but we won’t cancel our life insurance
• Mother Nature destroying our home or belongings, but we keep that home owners or renter’s insurance

We can't PLAN on legal issues happening in our lives, but like all the other "just in case" plans we pay for, it makes sense to have coverage if and when they do.

The American Bar Association suggests the average law-abiding citizen needs a lawyer an average of 4-6 times per year. Unfortunately, even when most Americans need a lawyer (and should use one), they Google, guess and pray instead because the cost of hiring a lawyer by the hour - the traditional way - can be more expensive than the issue itself … until it’s a car accident where someone is injured (or worse) and civil or criminal charges are filed; until it's an IRS audit; until estate planning is needed for an ill family member; until it's an unjustified ticket; until we are taken advantage of; until our rights are violated; until our auto, health or homeowner's insurance doesn't do what it's supposed to do when we finally need to use it. 🙁

Like any coverage plan, LegalShield is better to have and *not need* than need and *not have*. Unlike our insurance plans, though, LegalShield covers our family for one low and affordable, rate-stable, flat monthly fee AND we aren't penalized for usage!! Actually, LegalShield encourages members to talk with the lawyers as often as we’d like so we can make better personal, professional and financial decisions moving forward. (Why not? Unlimited consultations are included…).

LegalShield is like insurance for your insurance … without being insurance.

Many mistakenly believe they should wait for a legal crisis before working with lawyers. Actually, working with lawyers proactively, like a partner through life and business, is the wisest way to operate and LegalShield makes doing that possible (and affordable).

Member Story:

When a school told my children they could NOT pray (out loud) before eating their lunch, I consulted my Attorneys using this Membership. After making sure I understood the Right to Freedom of Speech (and of Religion) under our Constitution CORRECTLY, I then took the school to task.
“They are not shouting or creating a disturbance. They are speaking aloud, in a normal conversation voice, thanking God for their meal. This is a common practice in our Faith. They have the RIGHT to do this without any interference. It is Against the LAW for you to tell them they CAN’T.” (Problem SOLVED)

Dealing with CPS. Is like being arrested. Remember your rights . You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford an attorney one will be appointed to you. Stop right there. The attorney that they give you work for them. Find your own attorney. I had to do that. When my daughter was taken from us. Not only did they take her. They made pay child support. They took the money. From my paychecks . When I got a new attorney through a service called LegalShield. He asked me is she with family. I said no she is with strangers. My attorney said what they did was illegal. He wrote a letter on my behalf. 2 months later I got a check in the mail. It was for over $8,000. So please be careful when dealing with CPS.
