A business contact shared LegalShield with me ten years ago, and I really didn't understand the value of it at the time. Since then, I have used this service to assist me in selling my home, helping me through tax issues, landlord/tenant issues, they walked me through filing a conservatorship (saving me $20k), helping me with questions during Covid, writing demand letters for faulty mechanical work on my vehicle, medical malpractice help, countless questions answered on forming a business, they filed my LLC and had it back to me in 3 business days, they wrote demand letters to clients who were late in paying (I collected over $20k thanks to demand letters from the firm), answered my ADA questions when I remodeled a commercial building, answered my questions about hiring/firing employees, HR questions and numerous other matters. I find that many people have a misunderstanding about what this service is, and what it isn't. Do they represent you for any legal matter for $29.95? No. Can they tell you exactly what to do with your legal matter if you haven't retained them? No. That's not what this service is for. Can you ask them unlimited questions and get a call back very quickly? Yes. Can you even call back and ask to speak with another attorney? Yes (I've done this many times). Does any other lawyer in the land guarantee a call back within a certain timeframe? Absolutely not. Will they review your contracts and documents within three business days? Yes. Will they get an attorney for you to talk to anywhere in the United States? Yes. The idea is you have unlimited legal access with high-quality attorneys and you only pay a measly $29.95 per month. Over the past ten years of using this service, there have been attorneys I just didn't like. I called back and they gave me a new one, much like being assigned to a doctor you don't prefer. I wouldn't be without this service and appreciate the peace of mind it gives me.

I joined LS 2 months ago…wish I hadn't… I had 2 legal problems to get legal advice and both were dismissed by the law firm they referred me to…the one legal issue the attorney said he couldn't help me but would send me information that I could represent myself…odd when he's the attorney…second legal issue no one even got back with me… I called to cancel and the rude lady kept talking very loudly over me and told me that my membership had to be looked over to be considered to be canceled and that if I canceled my credit card so they could not take any future payments out that they would sue me before the cancellation was approved…I called the main office of LS and spoke to Bobby from the resolution department which was very helpful but he knew I was "pissed" about the whole situation and was the mediator between me and the law firm they set me up with…then the law firm had a woman call me several times and she left voicemails because I was working…I then called her back the next day and left several messages which she never returned then I called a final time and the receptionist said they were referring me to another attorney which I said "I've cancelled my membership and that they never had to call me again…Waiting for my refund of 2 months now… so the moral of the story is to not get involved with such horrible and scamming businesses… please avoid the pain and anguish …again STAY AWAY!

Dissatisfied
July 12, 2022

So I received this as a benefit from work and thought it would be a great idea for legal advice. Well a year later my wife decided she didn't want to be with me anymore so after being separated for 6months we agreed to use this service to go through with our divorce since we had agreed upon everything and with kids involved we thought maybe it would be smarter. Well the first lawyer I talked to was great gave advice explained some of the things we had questions on. So got the money together for court cost and sent them the money and then all the paperwork. This was October of 2021 after 3 weeks of them receiving the paperwork I hadn't heard anything about it. So called and was told the paper floated around the office and was Finally at the attorney in the office who would be handing the case. I was told they would call. By the end of the next week another 2weeks I called again. They said that the attorney was not in the office but they would have him contact me. Later that after he called and apologized it was taking so long and he would have it to me in a week or 2 at the latest. We are now in December and the first draft was not correct second time was sent had some. Errors and missing items. So called and talked to him. Asked some questions he was rude and acted like I was ruining his day. So filled out and fixed and sent back now into January February still nothing paperwork comes back to be notarized and signed by both of us. now it's March and she has changed jobs and insurance info has changed so she informs him and I received from him. Dayimg how tired of this he is and this needs to stop and how we need to agree on this as per terms. I gave him the information. Finally in April the paperwork was filed and we have a court date. I should have just used legal zoom would have been done before 6moths.

A Lifesaver in My Time of Need!
April 17, 2025

I've been a member of LegalShield for about 24 years, and I can't express enough how much you've helped me, especially with my current legal case that I had no idea how to navigate. When I found myself in this complicated situation, y'all stepped in and made everything so much easier. From my initial consultation to ongoing support, you're team of experts guided me every step of the way. Not only did you provide me with clear, professional legal advice, but you also saved me a tremendous amount of money by handling matters that would have otherwise cost me a fortune. As a member, I've had peace of mind knowing I can reach out for help whenever I need it. Whether it's for simple legal questions or more serious cases, LegalShield has been worth every penny. I recommend you to everyone I know who's considering legal insurance or currently dealing with a legal matter. You truly live up to your promise of making legal services accessible and affordable.

Speeding ticket
May 8, 2025

My daughter got a speeding ticket- sent an email they told me step-by-step what to do and they took care of the rest. My daughter ticket was dismissed. We've dealt with Jay several times over the past years and he's very professional and very good at what he does..

Long Time Customer
May 15, 2025

I have always had great service when I have needed to use Legal Shield. The only issue is that the Legal Shield support in Florida is extremely frustrating, and they do not always help or call or anything, and then they want a person to rate them based on nothing. I have received help in Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska as well, and those states have always been awesome! They are quick, knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive. I have been with Legal Shield for over ten years and cannot imagine not having their help, when I need it. Thank you!
