Among the companies that offer the best prepaid legal plans, LegalZoom offers one of the most affordable packages on the market. Access a legal consultation after business hours for covered legal emergencies, such as an arrest or detention, if you are seriously injured, or if you are notified of a court order. When evaluating providers of prepaid legal plans, experience and history are essential factors to consider. However, until then you can also trust my legal review of Prepaid and simply replace “Prepaid Legal” with “Legal Shield”. A fact that one of my friends, an investigative journalist for a major television channel, has also pointed out and is misleading because PrePaid Legal won the cases he cited or the courts dismissed them, something that the blogger did not mention. I was a prepaid legal associate in the “old days” because the service (product) seemed wonderful to me as a consumer, however, the MLM marketing approach seemed tacky to me.
The legal plans offered to clients are very similar to those of recent history (post-retention company), with some minor changes, more than in the old days when the practice of retention firms did not yet exist in Prepaid Legal. With the goal of providing accessible and affordable legal assistance to everyone, US Legal Services offers benefit plans to its clients that include features that could help you, your family, or your company manage legal matters. A LegalShield personal plan allows you and your family to access legal advice and support on an unlimited number of legal matters for a fraction of the traditional hourly rates of law firms. Part of the reason for the sale by StoneCipher could be the negative trend in legal prepaid memberships. Prepaid Legal was an MLM company founded in 1983 by Harland Stonecipher (no, that's not a made-up name). If the member canceled their subscription, the PrePaid Legal associates had to return part of the commission that had been paid to them to the company.
Despite being one of the oldest providers, US Legal has interesting features that help them retain their customers over the years such as an accessible resource center and a legal dictionary. Yesterday after I was promised once again that the email form would be sent immediately I told the CS representative that IF I didn't receive the form by email before nightfall (December 1 2018) I would make a VIDEO REVIEW of LegalShield also known as Prepaid Legal and posting on YouTube. In conclusion, it is clear that LegalShield, formerly known as Prepaid Legal Services or simply Prepaid Legal is an American company that provides legal services products directly to consumers through employer groups and multi-level marketing in both United States and Canada. It offers various benefits such as access to legal advice after business hours for covered legal emergencies like an arrest or detention; access to an accessible resource center; access to a legal dictionary; access to unlimited number of legal matters for a fraction of traditional hourly rates; access to case studies; access to revenue disclosure statement; access to terms coverage prices conditions and exclusions; access to PPLSI terms of service and privacy policy; access to MLM marketing approach; access to post-retention company; access to negative trend in legal prepaid memberships; access to part commission return if member cancels subscription; access to sale by StoneCipher; access to video review posting on YouTube etc.
