LegalZoom was one of the more expensive companies and I was disappointed that I went with them. There was an issue with my sign-up and then a few days afterward, my bank account kept getting charged. Every time I tried to call them, I could never get through. I even tried to do the online chat and they couldn't help me without trying to send me to someone else. Then every time they tried to send me to the right person, I would get disconnected. I also did the callback thing several times. The first time I got a callback, they said that there would be no more charges posting to my account. Then the next morning, there was a $250 charge so I had to call again that day and then that guy reassured me that there would be no additional charges.
When I signed up for my LLC, I asked LegalZoom if there was anything else that I needed to do and I was advised that there was nothing else. After contacting the state for my EIN, there was way more paperwork that wasn't done that needed to get done and then additional charges. So it seems a little bit confusing from what LegalZoom has told me versus what the state has told me.

10 years ago, I used LegalZoom to help my elderly parents put a will together as well as for other legal documents for small businesses. I liked how they are affordable for basic things. They have lawyers that put the documents together so I can trust them. Most recently, I used their service again to help an elderly lady in my church put together a simple will. Everything went well. I recommend LegalZoom.

We have a large business with a lot of legal needs in different states. LegalZoom has a large scope of services and it's pretty easy to conduct business with them. We use them for DBA filings. The process was good and the person I worked with was really helpful.

LegalZoom has been very helpful. I heard about it initially on the radio and then I went online. I looked at the organization and whatever their descriptions are. Then I said I would go ahead and give them a call. I also had gotten some information elsewhere, which helped me in the process to know that it wasn't just a one fee, which was what I initially thought. So when LegalZoom gave me the differences, I was prepared for that and it was exactly as they said. So it worked out. It was very painless and I was glad to see they were able to actually get it all accomplished during this pandemic because it was something I was very concerned with. Then every once in a while I get a letter here and something there, and I really do appreciate that. I feel very confident. I feel like I've got a good support team. I'm glad I have them there. There are even options if I need some help in trying to grow the visibility of the church. So it looks very good.

I was trying to investigate where to start with a small business and LegalZoom was one of the top ads that popped up. The whole experience was very easy, especially the online experience, which was how I was able to register my business. I also found the packets that arrived in the mail to be very well put together, organized, and easy to understand. We had a follow-up call to make sure that everything was fine, but it definitely turned out to be a sales call for other LegalZoom services and it just felt a little too pushy. When somebody in my position where I'm just starting a business, there are so many places where money has to go and my budget is very limited so I'm not thinking about additional services. But overall, LegalZoom was very organized and easy to use. It got me to exactly where I needed to be. So, I definitely would recommend them to anybody who wanted to start their own business and needed advice and help.

Horrible experience. I paid $1000+, and my filing has been put on hold four separate times for the same non-issue -- Registered Agent. They keep emailing me to tell me the orders been put on hold. I call in, wait 40+ minutes to find out it's the same issue, tell them I've done exactly as the Registered Agent has asked, even forwarded emails -- and now they're telling me the Registered Agent needs to sign in ink. I can't believe it's been 45 days and they haven't even submitted for an EIN. I'm infuriated and frustrated. If I could go back, I would have just filed for incorporation myself. I was trying to save headache, but this has been more headache than doing the work myself.

I have been waiting a month and half for documents. They do not notify me when they need additional information. They require a phone call for information but have a three hour wait time on the phone. If they requested info by email the system would run much smoother and there would be a record of communications. It's ridiculous. Get off the phone and send info electronically. It's the 21st century!

I liked the website. The interface seemed pretty straightforward. It's very no muss, no fuss. I set up two LLCs. I’m dissolving one right now with LegalZoom. I've also did my estate planning documents. I got their estate planning bundle. The process was pretty straightforward. The comprehensive suite of services provided made me feel confident that they have researched the needs of your target consumers very well. So I felt quite secure that they had done their legwork, and I'd be able to get a solid solution. I also liked the fact that I was introduced to a local attorney, who would corroborate a lot of the information I received from LegalZoom in my market. It was pretty cool that there were people that they had vetted. It turned out to be great. I was really pleased with that component of the service. I’m really happy about that.
LegalZoom is a great place to start, depending on how complicated the person's matters are. If they were looking for a straightforward, non-scary, non-threatening, non-expensive way to dip your toe into a legal matter, I would suggest everyone start with LegalZoom and then follow up with an attorney to help connect the dots if there are things that are confusing.
I had one setback. But it was more of a technical issue with the way things are managed there. I should have expected that working with an online provider like LegalZoom that there wouldn't have a lot of interpretive support. For example, I wanted to start a new company. I plugged in the company name and they said, “Oh, great, your name is available.” So I'm down that whole rabbit hole. Until I learned that in the state that I wanted to incorporate, the name wasn't available. All LegalZoom provided me were, “Sorry, your name isn't available.” They did not provide me alternatives. They did not provide me any information about why my name wasn't available. So that was a huge setback. I ended up setting up a corporation with a name I didn't want.
I've gotta go through the whole process of now dissolving that corporation because LegalZoom took one of the options that I wasn't crazy about without providing any feedback. They moved ahead and got me the name even though it wasn't the one I wanted. So I over expected based on my previous experience for LegalZoom to be proactive and very helpful in that area. It cost me a lot of extra money. I could have just hired a lawyer to do the research. I would have had a bit of a back and forth with that attorney, which would have saved me money in the long run.
I would warn people that even if it is just a slight bit complicated, don't expect too much from LegalZoom. But overall, I'm still better off having worked with LegalZoom on the other two cases. I just wished LegalZoom would have said, “Sorry, can't help you,” or, ”Wow, this is getting a little bit more complicated” on that one case. But there was no human interface there too. So I understood. I understand that it isn’t perfect and that there are limitations.

LegalZoom is a great way to start a business, especially if this is your first time and you don't have any experience. All the information is informative and you're able to reach out at any time and make sure that you have everything that you need. If you don't, they can send you documents. So, this was a very helpful process for me. I'm using my registered agent and smart employer services from LegalZoom. It was very simple to obtain and it didn't take long at all. I spoke with someone from customer service before to make sure billing was correct and their rep was very friendly, resolved the issue, and went straight to the point.

We were starting off our company and the reason why I went through LegalZoom was that I was ignorant of the process. I tried looking into it through the state and everything was so vague. Then I got told that the LLC was probably the smartest choice to start off with. The LegalZoom website was pretty easy to use. I was talking to somebody while I was doing that through the thing. But by the time that the rep told me what to do, I already skipped to the next thing and I already figured by myself. It was just like there was somebody on the line just in case if I would need something. With LegalZoom, they just asked what I wanted, the name to be, and what kind of company it would be. It was basically pretty blunt of what I wanted. Then they would go ahead and take care of it and that was it. But, I just had to pay a lot of money.

Everybody from LegalZoom I talked to has been helpful. However, sometimes, I'll explain to each person, "This is all new to me. So, please talk to me like I'm really like a dummy at it.'' Because it's all new to me, I wanna make sure it's right. Then I'll speak to a next person, and they'll tell me something new. I'll speak to the next person, and again, I'll learn something new. Today, I spoke with the bank because they told me I had to call the bank about what papers to give them. They told me to give them two papers but I wanted to make sure with the bank because my bank doesn't know what they're doing.
I'm an independent person with no business, but I was just doing my will and trust, so when I pass away, my son gets my money. So they told me the money has to go in a trust. I didn't know that. But then again, the rep from my bank wasn't sure either. So, my bank is giving me a hard time. They can't even answer me. I called my 1-800 number.
It was disappointing and customer service is not what it used to be. I've seen LegalZoom on TV. I know Robert Shapiro and I'm like, "They look like a reputable company." That was why I went with them. Then like six months ago, I reached out to one of the people and I said, "Hey, can you send me some email? Just read up on it, so I can understand and learn about it. When I'm ready, I'll call you." I called that same guy. He said, "Here's my number." After he got me going, it was like after the third question and they wanted to get paid. Then everybody's very helpful but it seemed like after I had a couple questions here and there, I would contact that same guy and it would seem like I was bothering him. I didn't like that feeling that before I paid, they were very eager to answer any questions that I had. But after, it seemed like I was bothering him. So after that point, I never called back and asked for him or his extension or anything.
The people are good. Somebody always tells you something new that the previous guy didn't tell. I always say, "Is there anything you can think of that I should know or make sure I shouldn't do? Because this is all new to me. Just advice or whatever you can throw my way." Then they sent me out the card, but they put the wrong address. I had the wrong address for my son. They assumed he lived with me. I wish he did, but he doesn't. So I had to call back and I said, "No, that's not it. It's one digit off." The funny thing is, they didn't even ask me for his address. I called back and spoke to another guy, and I said, "Don't you need the address?" He's kind of yes and kind of no. So, I said, "Okay, well then, let me give you the address." Then the card comes, and he didn't even take the address that I gave him, which is where my son lives.
I had a problem and we made an appointment to speak to a lawyer on Monday. So, the guy helped me and he said, "Okay, let me see what she's got available." He said Monday was okay. This was last Friday and I thought that was not too long. He then said, "Oh, no." Come to find out it's the next Monday. So I said, "That's okay. I understand what's going on." But then I got an email from them stating, "Oh, your request that you put in for your attorney, you didn't finish it or you didn't complete it." So, then on Monday I tried to get a hold of the guy has been helping me. I spoke to a different guy who said, "Yeah, you're booked." But then he checked the notes and said, "Oh, I see the note here. They didn't have you booked." Other than those, everything has been completed and the people were very nice and patient with me.

I've used LegalZoom a couple of times. I had a landlord-tenant issue. That was a couple of years ago. I also had to do a DBA so I just went to LegalZoom. It's just easy, convenient, and simple to use. They sent me an email telling me that I was gonna get a bunch of scam stuff about needing to register here and needing to register there. That was 100% a lie so I threw all those stuff away. The only thing I would suggest to LegalZoom is to do more social media marketing about everything that you can do on there. Everybody thinks of that. If you've got a policy, you get a traffic ticket. But there are a ton of resources there. And for an entrepreneur or a small business owner, that's extremely helpful.

Six years ago when we created an LLC, LegalZoom was recommended by a friend for their cost and accessibility.

They were always available. It's easier to do the chat version. I love that they have that feature. That way, I was able to multitask and do what I needed to do.
My concern was when we did the deed transfer option, I don't know if they communicated well with GoDeeds. I submitted the paperwork through LegalZoom and I just assumed that it would easily transfer to GoDeeds because I made the transaction through LegalZoom.

It's not the end of the world but I feel like it could have been a quicker process if everything was more streamlined. The other thing is I would assume I would click on the order number and be able to get to the order, but it wasn't always like that. I had to click a few different times to get to the actual order information to get the original order date. But other than that, LegalZoom has provided good service.

Once you sign up with them you are on your own. They expect you to log into your account for everything.

Daily calls go unanswered, dont bother enter ext. # for the person you sign up with. It's a dead end BUT if you select OPTION 2 to start a new someone always answers your call within a few minutes then transfer you to customer service where you wait 30 mins or so until you get frustrated and hang up. If you leave your number for a call back you'll never get a real person. The automated system might call you back then there is still no option to talk to a real person. Dear Legal Zoom I would like my money back for random transactions. This was not the deal.

LegalZoom looks like a pretty good resource. I've done a couple of forms and there is the option to specifically target them to what I was trying to do. However, the cost of attorneys are ridiculous for what you get. And then sometimes, it would take a while to get an appointment with an attorney. And then they wouldn't get back to you. So, LegalZoom is a compromise to get something done, if you need it done in a couple days. I'm happy with the cost of it. LegalZoom shouldn't raise the price on me though.

LegalZoom has a good reputation. I'm really picky about what websites look like and how interfaces are and LegalZoom had everything the way I would want it. It looked very trustworthy and well thought out. We used their estate planning service and it was great. It was much more straightforward than we expected. It was also much simpler. We would've done it years ago if we had known. The option to speak to an attorney if you felt that you needed it was also important for us and it was nice to have that option.
We've already told many other people about LegalZoom. Being a LegalZoom customer gave us peace of mind. The primary reason people deal with their estates and are concerned about it is because of concern for their survivors and making life easier for them. The benefit is gonna go to our heirs, executors, and people who don't have to sort ** out that are not prepared when we die. I have gone to relatives who have died. I've gone into their homes and had to clean stuff up and sort stuff out. I wouldn't wish that on somebody I disliked. I certainly wouldn't wish it on my family.

My experience with LegalZoom has been a painstakingly long one. When I look at their website, they tell me that they can do what I need in a few days. I applied for two LLCs and one trademark application. With all the requests I put in, what I needed took a few weeks and I'm still waiting for some of the items to get resolved. There was a mix-up in the names involved in one of the LLC's I was applying for through them. Each LLC had its own name. We tweaked one of the LLCs, and then they all of a sudden applied that name to both LLCs, which is a huge oversight. This took three weeks to rectify. We've also been going back and forth concerning the trademark item. They asked me whether my app falls in the product class or in the service class. We then needed to send a specimen but then LegalZoom changed the class and it didn't match the specimen we sent.

I recently used LegalZoom's name change service. LegalZoom looks like the cheapest and quickest option. So, I decided to stop working directly with the court support and go through them. The process was pretty self-explanatory. It’s just a fill in the blanks type of situation. It was nice and quick. I was done with the process in less than 10 minutes. Working with LegalZoom was easy, but it wasn’t what I expected. I thought it was that I fill out the paperwork online, which I did, and then once I paid the fees, then I would get the certificate with the name change. But what came in were legal documents that I still need to go file at the court. I chose LegalZoom because when going through the court, I had to fill out the paperwork myself, which I could do and I did it just fine, but I didn’t like the pricing. I have to pay the court fee. So, it was kind of more expensive now that I used LegalZoom because I still have to pay the $200 to the courts.

I wanted to start my own business but I was very unaware of the stress and the strain of it. My friend told me that it would be a good opportunity and less stressful with LegalZoom and that they were very reliable. Dealing with them was very automated. It was more online than it was personable contact. It was fairly easy. But I was unaware of the 249 service fee cost. I thought that everything that I selected was included in their service fee. Anything outside of that, I was very satisfied. I’m still learning how to navigate the actual mobile app. It’s non-hassle and everything is in one place versus if I will be doing this myself. I would’ve been all over my county and going into different counties to set up my business and establish my LLC. It’s stressful because I have to go out of my way to do it. But with LegalZoom, just click on and tell them that you need help and they own it like that.
Outside of LegalZoom establishing the LLC, there were more resources that came behind that. And the biggest thing to me is that the resources are not over-aggressive. LegalZoom offers it and it’s up to you to take it. I've just started last month and I’m satisfied. I don’t recommend more service ‘cause that deviates money away. But if I would’ve known about this, months ago, I would’ve been established my LLC as well as my business.

They told me I had no choice but to either file as-is (in a state I don't operate my business from) or lose the funds. I was repeatedly lied to, now accused of lying about trying to cancel and even after I sent email records, phone records and detailed that I was continually hung up on when I called to cancel - they're saying they're trying to "help" by offering a $99 credit.
I also paid for their attorney services - the attorney they referred me to wasn't licensed or qualified in the area I needed help with and said she would provide me with a number of someone who is, and also in the "Legalzoom network" - she never responded again and did not provide the number to another attorney. She also "closed out" the question/order and therefore Legalzoom would not allow us to talk to another attorney, saying "sorry, it shows here your issue was resolved."
I was repeatedly denied being "allowed" to speak with a manager, being told "they won't do anything to help you, we're not allowed to give credit or anything." When I spoke with a supervisor, it was obvious she was only allowed to give $99 back and then she also denied me being able to speak with her supervisor... I'm still waiting for an ethical, professional, good business practices response. Their entire staff is unprofessional. Numerous people I know have all said once Legalzoom got their money they can no longer get through to anyone on the phone. I spent almost $500 and haven't received ANYTHING still.

I wanted the attorney consultations and they had it with a bundle I had a long time ago. I bought an $800-bundle for a trademark or something. While it was pending, I could get unlimited attorney consultations that came with the plan and I liked those attorney consultations. I asked if there was like a monthly subscription with just that and someone said there was none. But I spoke to an upper representative and they helped me with that.

I was searching for ways of registering a company and then LegalZoom came as one of the options. So, I decided to give it a call. What was needed to complete the registration process was easy to follow, and it was step-by-step.

I also receive weekly blogs or newsletter about services and pieces of advice on different things related to business. So, I’m positive about this company.
I was looking into a sample for web hosting services agreement, but they don't give much option for customization -- it is only designated to US market, and I have clients outside US.

After purchasing a bundled estate planning package for myself and significant other we ran into problems immediately. First, despite promises of a large staff available and working for you, even through the COVID-19 pandemic, I put in a support request on their website and two days later had still not heard back. So I called today and was told the hold time was an hour and five minutes. After finally talking to a customer service representative who had to put me on hold for an additional five minutes before answering my question, I was informed that my authorized second user could only access the account by logging in with MY login credentials. Considering these are legal documents we are talking about, this is just beyond bad practice and really quite negligent.
The only way to complete the documents is by completing online web forms so I have no choice but to share sensitive login information. Such a fail. We won't be using LegalZoom again, needless to say. If they are careless enough to force authorized users to share a login, then who knows what other reckless security decisions are jeopardizing customer data behind the scenes.

We’ve had an opportunity to review your account and confirmed the yearly fee being charged is associated with the registered agent renewal and not any renewal or re-registration of your LLC. This fee is only to renew your agent for service of process subscription. Having an agent listed is required by the state to maintain your LLC. Although, having an agent is required for maintenance, having LegalZoom is only an option. You have the ability to name a new agent with the state at any time. Once you’ve made your agent update, contact us directly and we’ll immediately cancel your LegalZoom agent subscription.

I’ve been aware of LegalZoom and I have even gone on the site at one particular point in time to scroll through and see what they offered. And then, this year, because of my age and the virus, I decided to get my will done. So, I automatically went there. I didn’t have any problem with it. There was only one, where I originally went through. I put my name, but they didn’t have a spot for the middle name. And because I have my middle name on my passport, I felt so it should be on the will. And so, I had to redo it and I had to put my first and middle name in the area where they had your first name in order for me to get my first and middle name printed out on to the form. So, that was something that could be improved upon.
And then, the other thing, is that the area for the beneficiary. It was where they ask for your relationship between the beneficiary, that was somewhat limited because I was leaving it to a cousin-in-law, and that didn’t give me that option to insert in-law. It just gave you a half dozen options, and you just had to choose among those. So, I had to leave it that way, but if somehow they could give the individual an option to put something in there or to expand the list of relationships, that might be helpful as well. I really did a very simple will and I was leaving everything to the beneficiary and to the executor. It was fairly simple and it was priced reasonable.

I started working with LegalZoom several years ago. But most of the reason why I decided to work with them now for a couple of provisional patents, and I'm one second away from filing my non-provisional patent application, is that it’s really an apples to apples comparison. They’re drastically less expensive than going through the Yellow Pages and trying to find a patent broker or a patent attorney. Their rates are sometimes six and seven times more than the process usually takes with LegalZoom.
There’s also the option with LegalZoom to be able to do things on your own which is super inexpensive. If you need any expert advice, you can either pay for packages that are all-inclusive or you can talk to an attorney on an hourly basis. It’s a great service and it’s like a no-brainer to use them. My last patent, which is still in process, I used a patent agent which was a little bit less expensive, probably half the amount of money than a patent attorney. I was just, “You know what? I'm gonna go through LegalZoom.”
LegalZoom is a large website. It’s a more customer-service oriented platform. An individual patent agent or patent attorney that will be like, “If you’re too argumentative or if you expect too much from me, I’ll just tell you to go find someone else, which I know that you’re never gonna do because you already paid me to put your application together.” That’s what happened with this guy. I would never get that from LegalZoom. Customer service is excellent. I don’t ever automate anything as far as LegalZoom. I always call and speak with people. There’s email to answer back and forth, but that’s only after I've had a chance to talk with them on the phone.
I’m highly satisfied with LegalZoom. With them, it’s all very transparent and self-explanatory. The caveat is to have a good idea about what to ask. Even if you’re using an expert service, you have to have a good amount of working knowledge of what it is that you’re trying to get accomplished so that you know if the person that’s working for you is doing a good job. Don’t just assume that if you have an idea that you’re looking to get patented that you’re gonna be able to hand over information. Also, assume that those individuals that are creating your patent have the same expertise that you have. That’s not always the case.
I had an intimate understanding of what I was trying to patent, so that when I got the application back, the drafts from the attorney, that I had enough knowledge to be able to say, “Don’t you think you need to put this in?” or “Maybe we can word this a little bit differently,” instead of just kinda taking them at their word because they’re a patent attorney.

I used the package that includes the living will and the power of attorney. It was great that the package was on sale, so that was really helpful. And it included a consultation with an attorney and she was very good, super sweet and she quickly answered a few questions that I had about the documents. I'm not a lawyer by any means but I found them easy enough to understand. They were just that adjustable by a layperson so that was good.
The process was very easy, but I had a frustration at the end. I noticed that you fill out questionnaires and doing so generates the document, and that part was very easy. But when the documents came, I realized that the power of attorney had my full legal name including my middle name, but then the other two documents did not because the questionnaires you fill in to generate them don't give you a place to put in your middle name. And they really should match, and it's just bad design, but when I had the legal consultation, I asked the attorney about it and she said, "Well, they really should match."
So then, I called LegalZoom's support number and whoever I spoke to said, "Well, just go here and there's a revise button," but you just go to the same questionnaire in the beginning, meaning you still can't put it in. So, that was frustrating. Then, I did an online chat and the person I was chatting with eventually was able to tell me how to do that, but it took longer than it should have to understand what I was asking, and tell me how to fix it. That's a problem that shouldn't even happen if they just designed it right in the first place. Other than that, LegalZoom is a good value for the money and it was easy enough. It was that one little frustration.

I live on Long Island, and I'm a laboratory director and a microbiologist. I started to be a customer about three years ago, and for whatever reason, I delayed revising my will. I didn't want to pay a lot of money, but now, our local county here is almost as bad as New York City as far as the Coronavirus numbers go including deaths. It made me think to update my will and a week ago, I found LegalZoom and filled in the details. I filled out the power of attorney too. It was very easy, and it went well. I'm meant to be able to have unlimited changes for up to 30 days as well and I had filled it out without considering my sons in the way of what exactly they wanted. I talked to them and now that I had more information, I went back on LegalZoom four days later and tried to change the details.
In doing so, I apparently started a new will and I was charged for it. However, on that particular account, it wouldn't take the additional amount thankfully. Now, I have been asked to work with CDC Ethiopia in their response to the Coronavirus in that country. As a global microbiology consultant, I do a lot of work in that sort of thing and I had been working with Ethiopia for two and a half years. I spent the month before Christmas in Ethiopia training people to be mentors and training them to train other people. I feel very strongly for Africa and when we are allowed to travel again, I will be going over there, but I also want to make sure my will is in order. Now that I have a lot of details with my two children and my three grandchildren about who gets what, I want to go in there before my 30 days is up.
Right now, my will is in disorder, but I hope to sort through it. It may have been something I did wrong and I want to be fair because I thought LegalZoom was really good company. They have a good reputation too. Still, if it's the way their system is designed, it shouldn't allow you to fill in another will and bill you for it. Also, I thought for a while that I could print the document. It wasn't clear if I should print it on my computer, which is fine, and I wasn't sure if it was an option to have it sent in a nice package. Overall, they gave good service and I really like the price. I resent paying $800 to regular lawyer when this is something that is easily done online, so that's perfect for me.

I have contacted Legal Zoom at least three times every month looking for a status on my order and every time I get a different answer from your customer service reps. Finally, today I got a rep, Jahmani who was very disrespectful and unwilling to do anything to get me answers about why my order was delayed. Finally, she said blatantly that the reason my order was held up was because I did not fill out the questionnaire correctly. I asked her to tell me the name of the questionnaire file she was looking at so I can compare it with my records of sent files. Again, after another 15 minutes, she stated that she was looking at the wrong thing and everything was correctly filled out and she would pass it along to the proper department.
I have proof that I sent the proper files in on January 8th, January 13th, February 6th, February 16th and then today March 16th at 3:33pm and 3:48pm. I asked for a manager to give me a call and someone did at about 6:30pm, but when they did, they said hello twice and acted like they could not hear me and hung up the phone. I immediately called the number back and was told that my case was closed because when they called, I was silent. I can not understand even if that was the case how come they did not call back or try again later, not close the case.
Hi Richard, we reached out to directly but we wanted to follow up. It appears you have two nonprofits orders. We received follow up questionnaires and budgets for both 501c3 orders, however, it seems we are receiving the same set of follow up questions and budget worksheet only with changed answers which is causing some confusion. Would you mind providing the Follow up questionnaire and Budget with the corresponding order number for each 501c3 questionnaire? Please contact us if you have any questions.

I signed off on the last paperwork to get the trademark registered and I asked if there would be any additional costs. I thought that my costs were covered. But I got a bill in the mail and it wasn't from LegalZoom. It didn't even reference them. It said trademark publication and it didn't have the name of the company on it. It just said WTP. There was a reference number, application number and national class. Then it had my trademark. It was a bill, a publication fee in the amount of $1,420. I was wondering if that was something I should've expected to get or it was bogus. Other than that, my experience has been fine.

Several years ago, I started putting together something that was better than a will. Then I went to LegalZoom to get some help. I never finished that but I knew about them since then. Then recently, I opened up a business to trade foreign exchange currencies. I talked to LegalZoom and they let me know what I could do and what it would cost. Then I said I had a potential need. It turns out, it fell through rapidly. I paid $600 and spread it with three monthly payments to get the package done. Everything has been done and set up but my immediate need went away. Maybe this time next year, I'll be in business and I'll have some money coming in.
It was a very smooth process. They did all the work and it just cost me some money. They got me involved with an accounting business. But I don't need that right now. I am talking to my accountant and I don't need anything other than the present account that I'm using. It's a one-person business and I'm doing this so I have it separate from my account. All in all, LegalZoom was great and they were very clear.

I had an okay experience creating my business - I never really talked to anybody but they promptly prepared my paperwork. I guess you just have to trust that they do the the right thing. Annual fees for maintenance are high and when my business closed they wouldn't allow me to cancel, claiming my paperwork wasn't in order. When I asked what I needed to do to get my paperwork in order I didn't receive an answer - just got the runaround. If I ever get out, I will never use them again and resort to a local professional.

Working with LegalZoom was simple. I went online and put the information in, and they did the rest. I did an LLC for myself, and I did a living trust with my mother. The trust was quick. They had that out within a couple of days, but my LLC took a little longer. They stated that they were waiting for the state to input the information, so it took more than seven to 10 days that I was originally told. But, I have it now. LegalZoom took care of everything. I didn’t have to do anything.
They also did a payment plan where they broke it up over three months. So, the LLC was 900 and something, and I’m paying 314 for three months -- this is my second payment. The living trust, on the other hand, was 600, and I’m doing 214 a month. So, I only have one payment left. Overall, my experience has been good. I called them and talked to customer service a couple of times. And if there is a wait, they put me in the queue and call me back.

This company was fine to start up our business, however, our experience with them since the start up has been abysmal. State notices for our business were going to Legal Zoom instead of directly to our office. The notices were time sensitive, giving us 7 calendar days to respond. Legal zoom didn't forward us the notices until 6-9 weeks after they received them!! It gave us no time to respond whatsoever. When speaking with legalzoom support they had absolutely no answers for me except to file an amendment making our office the direct mail center. We paid $300 for the amendment. After about 6 weeks we received the letter in the mail stating the amendment was confirmed. However, we're still being forwarded state notices 2 months after Legalzoom is receiving them! It's an absolute joke.
Again, I call support and they have no answers for me. They can't tell me why they're still getting our state notices and they have nothing to say at all about the notices being forwarded 2 months after they receive them. I asked for a refund for the amendment amount and they just flat out said no. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they put me on hold for 10 minutes, only to come back on line and said, "A supervisor will call you in the next 24 hours!" What a joke this company is. They have no problem taking your money but when issues arise they have no answers and don't do anything to reimburse you for your troubles. Go to a real attorney if you're starting up a business or need legal advice.

I had applied for TradeMark and had taken their complete coverage package.

Upon submitting my application after 2 months got an email from The Office Action by USPTO stating some classification goods and services falling in different classes: So either pay for an additional class or remove the same. I intended to apply only for 1 class so it made sense to remove the extra/ wrong classification of goods. I called up LegalZoom and spoke to Mr. ** on (extension **) and it was appalling that Mr. ** suggested we would have to buy some services to fix the mistake done in filing the trademark application.
I didn't expect this answer, especially considering the fact that my only request was to FIX the mistake done in the filing by LegalZoom and I was not asking for any kind of compensation or help which didn't fall under the scope of our purchase. I emailed but no response. If this issue is not fixed without any fees I intend to post the reviews everywhere, and if some Lawyer is willing to help fix my case without fees (I am willing to go govt fees if any) I can share all the proof and give a positive testimony for the law firm and permission to use my case on their website where I intend to give nothing less than NEGATIVE Feedback to LEGALZOOM.

1. 03/02/2020, called the IRS myself to find out I do not have S-corp status. No follow up by LegalZoom on consumer behalf about whether the final S corp status has been achieved or not when I filed for it in Feb 2019. It is not up to the consumer to self check or should I have to keep calling in to check on the status. I had problems with my initial incorporation into just a C corp too. I shouldn't of assumed I had automatically attained status. It wasn't until I called the IRS where they informed me I should of got a letter saying I achieved S corp status. Why didn't legalzoom tell me about this letter that I was supposed to receive it. IRS also told me that if I don't get the s corp status within 2 month to call in again and check. Why didn't legalzoom call in on my behalf? Well guess what happened? The person that I was corresponding with is no longer with the company and the clients that he served I guess were never followed up with.
2. 1+ hour hold times, jumping through endless loops. 3. Promises to call you back with a solution, call back without an answer saying need more time but promise multiple phone calls to check in with you throughout the day. I got zero follow up calls. I expressed wanting an answer today between 1-3 pm. When I called in to speak with Shamila I was told that all managers are gone. Today is Tuesday, yesterday Monday when I called, at least Andre was still there at 5:30 pm. Today I called in at around 3:40pm. You can't tell me that they are all gone for the day that early and that your work hour schedules are so different per day. If you try to speak with the Customer Care & Performance Management side, this can take up to 1 hr.
Here is my protip, go pick option 1 which is to inquire about a new product or new incorporation. The wait time has just been 1-2 minutes and they will transfer you. It saves a hour of your time that way. Then you just have to get through the hurdle of the customer service rep, the level above them which is the lead person and then finally you reach 1 of the 3 managers. If the managers are not available the only viable option is to wait for a call back from a manager in 24-48 hours of time. This in my opinion is too slow. There needs to be a team specifically dedicated to emergency situations who can have a faster turnaround time. The ZOOM in legalzoom doesn't seem to be working. ZOOM means fast speed. I think it shouldn't be part of the company's name even if this is the speed of how things are taken care of.
Andre ** is the manager dealing with my situation. Others involved who dropped the ball Marvin ** who is no longer with the company and Kami **. All I want is transparency. I want to know who messed it up, my papers didn't even reach the IRS when Kami's email told me it was sent to legalzoom processors. Why was I not contacted.
I just want streamlined service. I want one designated person to help me from beginning to finish and to provide me an answer vs just telling me that they "Understand" when maybe they do but their hands are tied and still not able to do something. Please let me speak with the person that has the paygrade or level in the company that can make a decision and speak on the matter.
I feel your business model needs to be evaluated or you need to hire more people. The 1hr+ wait time indicates lack of staff for the demand of service you have. In my particular case the manager has to wait via email to contact legal counsel from people in the LA branch. If you had enough people in both locations this wouldn't be an issue. I am in California, and there is a time difference in Texas. If I was able to reach the California division, I would do so and not have to deal with corporate headquarters.

Legal Zoom failed to send me the certificate of formation which is required to have in able to open a bank account, therefore I’m unable to deposit the $30,000 in checks I have made out to the business. I still waiting for a return call from a manager, because the only option I got from the representative that “helped me” was to have them send me another copy but it will take 7-10 days. 4 days later I received an email requesting me to call them only to find out they need $30 to process the order so now it will be another 7-10 days and I still haven’t been able to talk to a manager nor get a call from one and the $30,000 in checks is still just that, a check, unable to cash without bank account. I'm passed upset at this point, I’m extremely frustrated and there’s nothing I can do but wait!!
Disappointed client
