LegalZoom Reviews Summary

LegalZoom's reputation is marked by a mix of commendable customer service experiences and significant operational challenges. Many customers praise the professionalism and helpfulness of individual representatives, highlighting their ability to simplify complex processes and provide thorough support. However, a substantial number of reviews reveal frustrations with service delays, unresponsive support, and issues related to incomplete or incorrect service fulfillment, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction and mistrust. This dichotomy suggests that while LegalZoom has the potential to deliver valuable assistance, systemic issues in service delivery and communication hinder overall customer satisfaction.

September 20, 2019

This site is so easy to use. Incorporating my non-profit was simple thanks to LegalZoom! And I was helped using live chat. I can't say enough good things!

In the process of setting up my first business as a LLC and I had lots of questions. Not only did they answer them all, and walk me through all my options, but they also handled so much other stuff. Between the IM Chat, Support Numbers, and Email I have never had to wait for help. It's like i have my own in house legal team.

I was blindsided by a registered agent fee. I was under the impression it was already included in the total, alas is was a separate surprise charge.

Hi Garrett, congrats on your new business and it was a pleasure serving you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us about the registered agent fee. Although the timing of the charge is outlined in the questionnaire and receipt, we want to let you know that we hear you and we'll work on making that a better experience.

Tech Support was very helpful. I was in a panic because I couldn't access my docs. I couldn't remember username or password or if I even had one. Simple fix. I didn't see it. LOL Very friendly and patient with me.

Good clear answers, good listener. Why do you require 100 characters? The person was great, but this is kind of a pain to need to type more...

Great Customer Service Rep
August 18, 2019

I used the live chat service to resolve an issue I had regarding a price increase in my registered agent subscription. I mentioned that I would not be able to keep the service due to the over 200% price increase. My customer service rep, whose screen name was "Lauren", helped me to keep my old rate and answered any and all questions I had. She was very kind in tone and very patient.

To LegalZoom: Because of your fantastic customer service representative you have kept a customer that was about to shop for another service. I later asked for her full name. It is Lauren Wiles and I hope that she gets the credit that she deserves. Be sure to keep and reward members of your team that accomplish these kinds of things for you.

They've been raising their prices for Registered Agent service for the past 2 or 3 years now. I finally got around to finding a new Registered Agent. Now that I'm trying to cancel the service through LegalZoom, I'm unable to do so. When I log into their website, they're trying to force me to agree to the very order I'm trying to cancel. Calling them, at least on the weekend, results in getting no one to actually talk to.

Hi William, it's unfortunate to hear we lost you as a customer and we’re really sorry you didn’t have the best experience when trying to cancel. We’ve had the opportunity to review your account and agent change with the state. As a result, we’ve cancelled the LegalZoom agent subscription and issued a full refund of the recent charge. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact help@legalzoom.com.

Thieves
August 9, 2019

I used Legalzoom to start a business. My recommendation: NEVER USE THIS FIRM.

The firm continued to charge me money, long after I ceased using LegalZoom. As of this week, they are attempting charging a new credit card, never known to them, $399. This is theft, pure and simple.
