    I needed to amend my living trust and I wanted to know how much it would cost. The customer service rep suggested that I also get the POA and a Living Will, which I knew I needed. She guided me to a package that you offered which had POAs, Living Will, and Trust Amendment in it, for a bundled, discounted price. I am very happy with her patience and help.

    I was on the LegalZoom website forming a LLC. The computer was not responding properly so I called support for help. The agent was rude and condescending. I remarked that I normally use an attorney but thought this might be quicker and easier. He said 'if you have an attorney, why are you calling us?' rather than try to gain my business or solve my computer problem. I asked for a supervisor, and he hung up on me. I called back and escalated, and followed up with a number of emails trying to get satisfaction. I came to the conclusion after numerous attempts that Legal Zoom simply doesn't care. If the technology works for you - great - if it doesn't, they really could care less and have no interest in helping. RUN!

    I dissolved my LLC but Legalzoom charged me $249 to automatically renew registered agent service but I never agreed to auto renewal. Customer service refused to do a refund. I contacted customer service via online messaging because I could not reach anybody by calling. They refused to issue a refund and told me I elected to have this service when I filled out my questionnaire, which is completely false. There was no mention of giving LegalZoom authorization to automatically charge my credit card to renew my registered service agent or an additional charge of $249.

    In December of 2019 I submitted a request to Legal Zoom to dissolve the entity I had set up using their service. On 11-Jan-2020 I received a response stating my RA services and Legal Forms was being processed and would not renew, but then there were delays. Due to the nature of 2020 I did not contest the slowness of their finalization of the request, although Legal Zoom promises 20-35 day processing.

    On 15-Jun-2020 they charged the credit card I had on file $399 for a 1-year RA subscription renewal. When I inquired about the delay and unauthorized charge they promised a partial refund of the $399 once the dissolution was final. In August 2020 they stated they could not refund back to my card on file (I don't know why) and requested that I provide them contact information for a paper check. I did so immediately and then all correspondence from them ceased. I have repeatedly sent emails and also tried to call but cannot get through. I have a very long list of correspondence that is mostly one-sided due to their lack of any response whatsoever. Obviously, I will not be doing any business again with Legal Zoom. Thank you.

    The agents who answer the phone are inconsistent with their knowledge about the process. I paid for filing a 501C tax exempt. The agents hung up the phone on me when I asked questions they would not answer. I asked to speak to someone who could answer my questions, they said that the team who completes the form are not allowed to talk to clients. I asked for a supervisor to help, they blocked and said someone will call me back in 48 hours, no one did. I asked them to give an attorney access to my application, the agent said it was done but when I had the appointment with the attorney, he did not have access. When I completed the form and I wanted to make corrections, they said that I could not and would have to wait 10-14 business days for someone to contact me!

    This has been a very frustrating experience and I am hoping they will eventually be able to file appropriately. They should clearly disclose every step of their process before unwary clients like me sign on. This has and continues to be a harrowing experience. I had to learn quickly to prevent them from sinking my project. For example, I independently found out that an EIN number and a fully registered corporation was required to complete the 501C application. You would think this was basic fundamental information but the Legal zoom agents were making me complete an application without EIN no. and a fully registered company and I had to push back. I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism, the lack of knowledge and the disorganization and ineptness of the Legal zoom process.

    The software for the Living Trust contains bugs that are potential fatal flaws. The entries in the questionnaire boxes are not accurately transferred to the printed document. Consecutive capital letters, such as common two-letter state abbreviations or acronyms for names of companies ("BBVA Continental", TD Ameritrade), cannot be entered correctly. The second and subsequent majuscule letters are written as minuscule. Response time for written inquiries is not one day, as promised, but can exceed three days, if a response is received at all.

They also offered the option to pay half now and pay half later. That was a big incentive and I know that's is a big deal for a lot of people right now. I can put some money towards some other things getting started and then pay it off later. I'm thinking about using them again for another business I'm thinking to form shortly. With LegalZoom, I can find the documents that I need after the fact, like my articles of organization or anything that I need to pull up for my bank account and things of that nature.

    Original Review: The nightmare started when I signed up on LegalZoom on Thursday, I told them I needed a LLC in Delaware that does business Florida, customer service told me to create LLC and a corporation (which I didn't, needed a foreign LLC instead), total for both at the time was $1156, and then a hold on account, call them 5x on Friday to remove the hold due to name reservation (I own the name reservation) they told me to send the document to bzsuport@legalzoom.com and I did.

    Then on Monday, same hold, call them 3x, they told me to cancel the name reservation (which cost $75 with the state) and a issue with registered agent came up (I think it was made up to use them instead), to avoid a delay and have a peace of mind (which I didn't get), I used them as registered agent (+$159 per) for both entities, they files the entities for both which is still on-going. Then another charge of +$159 (register agent) was added to my card which I thought they had a flat fee guess not. Right now, I’ve spend $1474 on two entities and two registered agent I didn’t need. Customer service has poor knowledge of the process. I'm not satisfied with their service. I regret using them but I have to cause I've already paid. Currently, my documents are sent to secretary of state. Please do yourself a favor and use a different service. You will save the time and energy by not using legalzoom. God bless.

So, instead of me getting stressed out and drinking Hennessy, I just went to Legal Zoom and let them do the work. Everything went well until they forgot to send in my EIN number. So, I had to pay for that and now I have to do my EIN on my own anyway. Even so, LegalZoom made me comfortable. They answered my questions and guided me in the right direction.

Company's website is not user friendly, staff are not knowledgeable and, it will take at least 45 minutes to talk to someone over the phone. I had several incidents that I waited to talk to someone for 50 minutes but once I got to talk to a member of the customer service, he or she was not able to answer my question so she asked me to wait so I could be transferred to someone else but I got disconnected.

    I have a friend that started her LLC through LegalZoom. She gave me a great review, said it was easy. The people were easy to talk to, they tell you everything you need to know. So that's when I gave LegalZoom a call. It was perfect. I love that everything I needed to know was right in front of me.

    One of my friends who had used LegalZoom referred me to them for business forming. I started September 28th and it's still a work in progress. I'm still waiting for my EIN and publish my company. It is going through as expected and I hope it gets completed this week. There have been a couple of back and forth because I had to set up a few things but they are very good professionals. They know what they're talking about. LegalZoom has a nice website and a good support line. The only thing is the costs were not transparent. A couple of costs came in as a surprise to me.

    My friend started up his business through LegalZoom and he told me about them. Since their pricing wasn't bad, I used them as well for the LLC startup. I've talked to so many people in the past three months that it’s hard to keep track of what's what, but having that legal backing makes things a lot more comfortable. Legalities can cost you a lifetime of issues if not handled properly and it’s one less thing you have to worry about.

    I feel like LegalZoom's service is worth it, but to bring them a whole host of businesses, they should come up with a dashboard specific to the type of business that people are setting up which may give them guidance on what the requirements are for their states. There are a lot of predatory companies out there, so having that guidance to avoid some of these issues would most drastically increase the effectiveness of the business owner, as well as their client base. Other than that, their service made the experience a lot easier than what I heard a lot of people explain they went through when they were starting up their business. And it's affordable for anyone, so it gives hope to the community.

    I got a good referral from my friend about LegalZoom. He said he had a good experience. He said it was a smooth transaction getting the LLC from them. And as far as my experience getting my LLC, it was pretty good, pretty simple and straightforward. The only concern I may have was the Articles of Organization. There were some spelling errors on there, but I don’t think it’s a huge deal. It was just minor spelling errors. It wasn't gonna affect the legality of anything. In the beginning of the process when my application was delayed, I was able to speak with somebody. That went smoothly. They ironed it out, they got my business back on track in terms of getting legalized.

    The cost could be a little bit more competitive. As I learned after doing my first LLC, it would have been more time consuming to do it myself. But I would have saved a couple hundred of dollars. I'm paying for the efficiency of it, but my LLC got delayed a little bit so it wasn't as efficient a process as I feel like it would have been. At the same time, they did find that little issue that would have made it a longer process.

    LegalZoom is a cheap legal service compared to everything else. I only got reregistered with them just to do a trademark search. It just got complicated so I have to go find another way to do it. I took LegalZoom off, and then every time I go to get help, it seems like I'm blocked. Because LegalZoom has contracts with these other people so they can't help me. In the beginning, LegalZoom was easy to contact. As time went on, it became a little more difficult to get things done. It seemed they kinda went downhill a little bit with the service. I think they’re just getting big. As you get bigger, it's harder to keep quality. But they're a great company.

    I got an LLC through LegalZoom. It was intuitive in the beginning. But then, when the whole filing thing went through and an issue came up with my paperwork, there was no easy way to figure out what was wrong with the paperwork so I could push it through. Nobody called and reached out. I just got an automatic notification via email saying that I sign in to my account to view the issue. When I did that, the issue was not there. Then the website on my account said to call LegalZoom. I called but then it took me days to get a hold of someone because I wasn't assigned a real live person. Then, I was waiting on hold for a really long time. One day, I waited on hold for an hour and a half and no one picked up. I had to push it to the next day. I don't have an hour and a half to wait on the phone. But once I finally did, it was nice to have it all in one place. Then, they do the next steps, so it keeps it organized.

    Beware of this company. LegalZoom made a massive error with my paperwork that is costing me thousands of dollars to fix, and they refuse to refund me or help me. I filed for an S-Corp with LegalZoom in January. It cost about $500-$600. By May, they still had not sent my documents to me. Every week or so, I called for an update. The customer service representatives consistently gave me the same response: "That's funny — your case has been put on hold but it doesn't say why. I'll remove the hold and you should have your paperwork sent out in the next week."

    The paperwork did not arrive until mid-May. When it arrived, I discovered that my business had officially existed since January, but, because LegalZoom didn't send me the documents until May I had missed all major federal filing periods by several months, meaning that — as far as the IRS was concerned — my business had broken the law. LegalZoom's advice: "We cannot provide LEGAL help, so please hire an accountant to sort this out for you." I asked for a refund. They said no. I asked again. They refunded me $60 of the over $500 I initially paid them. Since then they have stopped responding to me emails.

    I now have to pay an accountant a couple of thousand dollars to do what LegalZoom promised to do in the first place. I really, really wish I had just filed my business on my own without LegalZoom's "help." My wife recently filed her business. The whole process cost about $100, and (in contrast to LegalZoom's approach) she hasn't violated any federal requirements or filing windows. Avoid them like the plague.

    A friend of mine did her own will and talked about doing it. Attorneys around here had gone up so much on their price for something that they just use a template and fill in the blanks for my other legal services and where I was drained of huge amounts of money. It seemed like Legal Zoom would be a good thing to do a standard routine document for less money than paying one of them. It was a long time ago when I did the original will through LegalZoom and my child was still underage. When all these COVID stuff came up, I was scared out of my wits. I'm not young anymore. I needed to update my will and change the executor since I only have this one child that would inherit what I have. My son is now of age and would be the executor of my will and my sole heir. I updated my old will and apparently, more has to be done than when I did the original one.

    When I originally did it, I was happy with the language in the will. The original one was straightforward and more like other legal documents that I've done. My other experiences in divorce and real estate were much more straightforward in their language, setting out the terms and I understand they're all using a template and fill in the blank as to specifics. When I updated it this time, it's less straightforward and there are a lot more drawn out legalese stuff that was somewhat confusing in just the first reading. Maybe law has changed in my state to have all this legalese stuff in it. I'm not as comfortable with it. It seems excessive. I'd have to go back and look at the document again. I was just kind of scratching my head when I thought that this is not what my document looked like before. The original will when my kid was still young was where I’d named a guardian in the event of my death. I was satisfied with that experience.

    When I could look at my computer, at the changed document, I'm like, “Wow! Something new must have come up.” My printer was broken at the time I made the change and paid the money. I reviewed the document online and downloaded it but I got the packet in the mail. It is still sitting in my big stack of mail that I haven't gone through yet. At the time I received that, I wasn’t dying to go get out in the herd. I've got to assemble a couple of people to witness my signature and go file it. I need to finish the thing and I'm gonna have to get out in public a little bit.

    I'm assuming that if I want some explanations of that stuff, when I finally get off my tail and go get this thing filed, that I could call somebody and I could get explanations of some of this stuff. if you're gonna add so much legalese to it, it would be cool if you had a general explanation. So that if I go and look at it again when I'm not so tired and have a million things to do, maybe on second read, it would be better.

I was trying to get paperwork done and it was a nightmare. I'm still going through it. I tried going their least amount and they keep playing games. It forces you to upgrade to a better amount, so they make more money. They also don't divulge that when you sign up with them that you have to pay them $250 a month to be able to have them as someone as contact for an LLC. So I stopped that as well. That's really wrong to do.

    Every time I do an LLC, I pay all the fees and I tried doing it without. I have another LLC that I'm trying to form and I tried rushing it and all of a sudden, I can't even get an EIN. It's costing me a lot of money right now with the business that I'm doing because I don't have that EIN. So it's slowing down a $25 million dollar purchase. So LegalZoom is not the best avenue.

    One of the worst experiences in my life, you pay for platinum service, and at best you receive, slow, prolonged service. I started my divorce in August 2020, and in the state of California, a divorce takes six months. With Legal Zoom, it will take an additional 2 to 3 months due to their slow service. They filed my paperwork with the courts, which was received to LZ on September 1, I received NO email updates, as promised with Platinum service. I had to follow-up with a phone call on September 28, yes, 27 days they held onto my paperwork, no review. After speaking with customer service and getting laughed at by one them, I had to push them along to get my paperwork to my spouse. Once my spouse signs and returns the signed documents to LZ, they will hold on to them for yet another 27 days of review, so my divorce will have yet another delay or another month of waiting.

    Reasons to avoid LZ:
    1. Unprofessional customer service reps.
    2. Causes undue emotional duress.
    3. No Human interaction, unless you contact them.
    4. Platinum Service- is just another fee they charge, but get nothing in return. Platinum service, part of the service is they inform you on the progress of your case, this didn't happen!
    5. Takes too long to review and return documents- 27 days it took them to review my documents. They tell you, 8 to 10 business days.
    6. No disclaimer regarding adding 2 to 3 months additional time when using LZ for divorce paperwork, YES, 2 to 3 months additional time for a divorce that should have taken 6 months is now going to take 8 to 9 months.
    7. You would be better off doing the divorce yourself.

    8. No returned phone calls, Requested to have a supervisor call me regarding this issue, still waiting.

    You would be better off avoiding LZ, do it self, to save time, your insanity and disappointment and oh getting laughed at by a customer service rep.

I got them to do the DBA for me. Leveraging the technology was super simple. The instructions and directions back were super simple. It was an easy way to get it done. Completion to hearing back was about two weeks.

    There were some things about their process that could be performed a little better from a technology perspective or guidance early on. For people who've never really worked professionally in the business world where they've had to do stuff like this before, there should be something that could ease them into it and give them direction on steps before they go ahead and start getting offered all these things. That can get super overwhelming for a lot of people. Then after they get started, LegalZoom can provide system add-ons that can help them through the process.

    The process has been time-consuming, disorganized and unclear. You have to be very self-reliant. It's lots of different people that I've spoken with and I've kind of had some issues. I registered for the trademark services to apply for a trademark and LegalZoom kind of just sends automatic follow-ups. It's not anyone that's really taken charge of the case. They kind of work in teams so that was kind of annoying that I didn't have one person that I could follow up with.

    I'm registering the trademark through my Chinese-owned company and whenever I fill out all of the information on LegalZoom's website, it accepts the Chinese characters. But whenever they submitted that to the trademark office, they didn't use the Chinese characters. It just shows up as random symbols. After it's been submitted, I have to call the trademark office and ask the trademark office to withdraw that application and refund the money to LegalZoom. But LegalZoom can't do that. I have to do that personally which kind of defeats the purpose of having an agent for the trademark registration.

    Now that it's been kicked back to Legal Zoom, I've called twice in the last two weeks. They say that it's in their processing office to figure out what was the issue with it not submitting the application according to the information that I gave them originally. Every time I've called the last two weeks, they haven't given me a date that they'll be able to fix this issue and resubmit the application. But whenever I log into my account, it looks as if the services have been completed.

    I would probably go to someone who specializes specifically in trademark registration in the future to avoid this kind of problem. I don't see how they're making money on this case anyways because there's a $250 trademark application fee that they have to pay and the $500 that I sent them. But I've already been on the phone with them at least a dozen times and they probably have spent more on salary for the people that have been working on my case than they could possibly have made money off of it. It's not a total ripoff but I still haven't received the services I paid for a month ago and I've been constantly following the case.

    One of the brokers in my office referred me to LegalZoom to complete my LLC. I was able to submit everything in one day so it probably took me at least three hours to do everything. I did have quite a few follow-up calls and spoke to someone at least three or four times. LegalZoom reached out to me not too long after and they were supposed to get my business account set up. The process with LegalZoom was simplified. I was able to trademark my name and get a domain. I've ran across a lot of entrepreneurs recently that want to start their own business but they haven't found a simplified way to do it. I’ll definitely be referring people to LegalZoom.

My understanding was once I talked to their attorney, this was gonna be filed. I didn’t know that that was all that they were gonna help with. I thought they were gonna get back to me and tell me that it's filed and until we hear back from the office, the service should not be over.

    I was referred to use LegalZoom by my personal lawyer. We used them to file for an incorporation as a business. They definitely did what they were supposed to do on there. But as far as completing the services, it took a little time. I'm not sure if that's something that's a regular thing for them or probably because of what's going on with the epidemic. But that had a little to do with the timing ‘cause on our side of things, it took a little longer than we expected.

    There were a couple of things that they could improve on. Their communication made things take a little longer. It was kind of really hard to get in touch with them. There were a few times where they called me twice about the same question which really delayed our filing. That was a little deterring in terms of using them in the future for something else. Other than that, the customer service was very nice and the people were very pleasant. Ultimately, everything was done and we appreciate their service.

The only thing is that when you make a change to the will, they send you an updated package and it has a different code number on it than the one that you started with. They should put both of them on there and they should give each revision a sub number, like revision number one, revision number two, revision number three. If you end up with multiple revisions, you know which one you're looking at. Other than that, I like the rest of it. The process is easy to use.

    I'm satisfied with what LegalZoom has done. But I don't like how much of my data that they've sold to outsource companies though. Earlier today I was on the phone for 30 minutes from a tax person, which I've never reached out to, nor do I need one because this is a low-income business and don't plan on growing it at all. Then there were all the emails that come attached to it. I just wish it was a more professional environment. None of this would happen if I went to an actual lawyer's office. I wouldn't have all these follow up outsource companies trying to touch base with me to make money. This is the only drawback and it is a major drawback ‘cause they offer some great prices for what they do, but I respect my privacy. I'm hiring lawyers, essentially, or lawyer’s aides. They're in a professional realm and they've gone beyond the professional environment by overstepping on people’s privacy.

    I haven't even looked at the competitors. I looked at LegalZoom several times. They’re an all-in-one package, which is very handy. I like that they have these other services. I'm not anti like, “If you would like this, please check this box and we'll have somebody reach out from this other company to help. Help with your taxes or help with your insurance was another one.” But I'm not choosing to receive those phone calls. They're selling my information to other companies and that’s just illegal. If I were to talk to a firefighter or police officer, I don't want them to give away my driver's license to someone. Or a doctor, I don't want a doctor to give away my personal information, nor would I want a lawyer to, which is what they're doing. What they gave me was great. I just see this as a major violation, though.

It has already been way over the expected time period they gave when ordering and another 1-2 months is just insane to me. I took the "easy" way out instead of just filing the paperwork myself and I would have gotten everything back already.

    Legal Zoom seems to be a scam to me by charging for services they can not provide. You can't even get through to their customer service team.

    I was opening a corporation and it was the second time I was doing it. The first one went perfectly but the second one was a disaster to the point where I would probably never use nor recommend LegalZoom again. And I have recommended them several times. I'm a California real estate broker. I have to file for my real estate license with the DBA within six months or I would have to go back and get an additional certificate from the state of California that the corporation was active. I had LegalZoom do everything and they submitted my DBA for filing in February but I didn't get it until September. So much time had elapsed and I missed that six months mark because they got it back to me in five months and two weeks.

    By the time I got their work and got it through my little corporate thing, I missed the deadline. I had to go back to the state and get a certification filing. It was a nightmare. And LegalZoom kept claiming the state but LegalZoom had me sign the thing four times. The problem all went back to the very first filing on their paperwork, where they had the person fill out for the DBA. It was very hard to understand whether they put a date in there via signature or not. The secretary down at the DBA office at the county of San Diego picked up that there shouldn't have been a date there, but I filled it in because it was not very clear on how to do it. We redid it and it was my fault because LegalZoom had a very bad instruction, but I accepted that.

    LegalZoom said they filed it three times. I'm sure my internet was the problem the first time and they said it was kicked back for some reason. I was very disappointed with the length of time LegalZoom got to get me my DBA. Now, I still don't have my corporate broker's license and I have to wait. I got everything that stayed on the corporate broker's. Some of it should've taken a couple of weeks. I'm here almost 10 months into it.

    My son has an LLC and I had no experience in establishing one. LegalZoom was one of his recommendations. Aside from establishing an LLC, I also got their service for a trademark work. Using their website was fairly easy considering I knew nothing about it and I'm not very tech-savvy either. At one point, I had a question regarding the trademark application process. At the time, I did not have the LLC established and it asked me information about my LLC. I was unsure so I used the help number and there was no answer, not even a voicemail. I called it a couple of times and never got a response. I'm super busy with my regular job and I've been doing a lot of travel so I just kinda shelved it at that point.

    I received an email advertisement because they were offered a percentage off. I did not have the time to go back and redo it so I was not able to take advantage of the discount simply because I didn't get a timely response. By the time I could finally get back to completing the application, the LLC had been established. That's how long it took. Also, the time of the offer had passed. I had that little hiccup but I've already recommended LegalZoom for someone else whom I work with who was looking to establish an LLC.

    I have used Legal Zoom several times before. On my latest, I picked the economy LLC package. I started to fill out the State papers myself but decided to play it safe because I couldn't afford any delays. In the past, they would work my orders behind the priority orders and get it done. But, in this case, they have purposely held up sending in the paperwork because I selected the economy package. Legal Zoom does a good job of upselling through their website, so be careful. Select no thanks, which is hard to see. I will stop recommending Legal Zoom. They seem to become what they came to overcome, the messy world of legal work and delays.

    I was in a rush and LegalZoom was the first one I saw. They have done everything according to what they said, but at the end of the day, I had a few questions for them and their answer was very unclear. When I had called them to see if I had to make a payment, they didn't tell me no or yes. So, I sent the payment in that I didn't have to send in. Luckily, the lady on holiday sent it back because she said she was aware that LegalZoom would sometimes file the same thing twice. And she said it shouldn't be filed but once. So, I received the letter that I owed the Secretary of State 100 bucks. But it was supposed to be covered in my package from LegalZoom and I didn't like that. But it was a learning experience.

    Other than that, they were great when I was setting things up. But after I paid what I needed to pay for, they went MIA and I couldn't get anyone. I got their economy package because I could get an EIN for free and they wanted to charge me 76 bucks for it. All in all, working with LegalZoom really enlightened me that you have to make sure you do thorough reading and that you know what's going on before you get into something. How they were doing on customer service side also made me more aware for what I have to do or if I have to do anything else with another company.

    LegalZoom could have better feedback when you're waiting to get something and you keep on thinking you're gonna hear from them.

I like the whole smooth transition from working for somebody else, stopping and getting all my ducks in a row, and now, come the 1st, I'm ready to start my own business.

LegalZoom made it so that I could just not have to be nervous or unsure of being able to do it right. I felt at ease knowing that I would have that taken care of and the legalities of it all. I was not wasting my time and energy on answering emails. There's something about where they're screening my emails and I only get ones that have to do with like important legal stuff. They automatically know about it before I do so that's cool.

    I'm testing LegalZoom out to see if it's something that I can continue to use on future patent ideas. For the initial provisional patent, their service was less expensive than a patent attorney would be. But I'm interested in seeing cost savings in terms of the next steps of going to the non-provisional, then the final patent. I'm also looking into feasibility because I can pick up the phone right now and call my patent attorney, but he’s gonna bill me for every minute. So it remains to be seen.

    One time, I called a customer service person at LegalZoom and she was very helpful. But there was a snafu on the paperwork not being filed and I was a little disgruntled about that. It added an extra 10 days to getting the provisional filed and as we know in this day and time, when it comes to patents, every second counts. She said It was a technical glitch then I had to continue to follow up to make sure that that was done, and that did not impress me very much. I don't know if it's a problem that they are experiencing on a normal basis, but as far as my particular business, that needs to be improved because their software on their website was telling me that everything was okay, but at the same time, it wasn't moving until I called and found out. Their customer service person got on the ball though. She took things in her hands then brought about some resolutions.

    When I worked with LegazZoom for incorporating, it was really easy and fast. With them, you fill some stuff out then you're kind of on your own. But people incorporating really don't know anything and they're obviously starting anew mostly. So, there should be an immediate service to guide people like somebody who would call you right after your account set-up and you have a personal person who would help you. They would ask about your plan and tell you what you need to do such as the fact that you have to pay an annual tax of $800, you have these forms to answer, and you have to have a seller's permit. The service would be free for the first 30 days only and if you wanted to use them you'd be able to always ask them stuff or they would always remind you that you can pay.

    They've got to have something like that because at the end of the day, incorporating is the easy part, but there's so much stuff in the background that people don't know unless they research or it comes up. That can get costly for LegalZoom but if they did that, that would be amazing. Thereafter, if somebody wanted to keep that service, maybe they could pay a monthly fee to be able to get phone support and have questions answered. At the same time, having somebody guide you on what you need to know without having to ask the question would also be helpful because some people don't know what they even need to ask to begin with.

    Despite that, LegalZoom still offers a lot for the price at the end of the day. The interface isn't that great though and it was not super user-friendly or easy to interpret. It was not bad either but it could be better. When I wanted to log in, it was not really clear about where are the forms you've already filed and where are the future forms. The calendar was a little weird, too. It'd also be nice to be able to have support on the weekends because a lot of businesses are opening on the weekends. I'd love to get questions answered as opposed to waiting a couple of days. But other than that, the hold times have been pretty good and LegalZoom has been great.

    We used the will preparation service from LegalZoom and it went well. It's probably one of the easier things we've done. We got a lot of documents that we needed to get in place. We did a will package and then a power of attorney was needed. I had to go back and get the power of attorney separate because I didn't think through the need for it when I was doing the will package. So, if there was a way to be prompted in the system to really encourage the power of attorney at the same time would be a recommended improvement.

    I used the chat feature to request expedited delivery of my documents and that chat feature was super easy to use. I didn't have to call and wait for somebody. Somebody came in the queue and my problem was resolved without really much effort on my part. The main benefit right now is the fact that we have a power of attorney. My brother's health is failing so he's gonna need this power of attorney at some point and we have it in place now.

    I feel good about LegalZoom's process. Everything is pretty smooth and simple. I did this on my own before. I went to legalzoom.com and it gave me a few steps to figure out what I was trying to do to set up my business. It gave a couple of options and programs. I just picked one. I would definitely do it every time through LegalZoom from now on. It was everything I needed. Everything was pretty good. I've already recommended people to do LegalZoom too instead of going through the long process.

    I had done some shopping around and LegalZoom was the most cost-efficient way to go. The service was also outstanding once I decided to look into it and got my hands in there. I got so much service and they were very informative. They were helpful, kind, and with empathy if somebody needed that. Using their website went well, too, given that usually, the whole process can be difficult for me since I only have my iPhone and didn't have a bigger screen. Aside from that, I like that they gave a free consultation with an attorney and I got a couple of quick calls with that, but I didn't even use a whole hour. All in all, LegalZoom was great.

    I had LegalZoom create my will. I did the process online and that did not take very long. Once it was processed, they sent me my original will. Recently, I had members in the will who died and I updated it. That went fine too because all the files were online and I just had to print it out so it was very convenient. I had a hard time with people dying in my family lately. Last year, it was my grandson then in March it was my daughter, his mother. They were both mentioned in the will so I had to remove them and change executor. It was a simple will. I don't have a lot of property or interest that I needed to list. It was simple as directions as to what to do when I die. It went great and I really appreciate the service.

    I recommend LegalZoom to other people that are looking for some legal help as long as it's not complicated. Legal representation is not really needed because we know it's legal and it's coming from there. All I had to do is get my signature notarized then file it at the courthouse. It's very cost-effective too. A lawyer will charge you a flat rate just to come in and get the basics done. They consult for free but when you actually hire them, you can look at hundreds per hour. I appreciate Legal Zoom and I'm so glad it's there.

    I did one of my businesses with LegalZoom a couple of years ago and I used them again recently for my last will and testament. It was just easier for them to do everything for me. But I wish the price was cheaper than what it was because the services are not like how they used to be. The last time when I did my stuff, I had everything back in a week. But now, it was way longer and it was hard to get in contact with people there. I called and I had to wait for five hours for them to call back. Also, I don't have my EIN number yet, so I've really been waiting on them.

    LegalZoom was great and their website was really easy to use. They were on time and it was a really good service. The whole process of getting an LLC was around 12 days all-together. Everything is done online. It was easy to navigate and understand. They also had an affordable price compared with their competitors. They were offering more things for the same amount of money. I also like their speed a lot. I'm very satisfied with them.

    LegalZoom is convenient and I saved hundreds of dollars than getting a private attorney. I used them for a last will and testament. It was very easy to do and it only took about 45 minutes. I didn't need to talk to a representative. That was how simple things were. Then there's also the convenience of going back in and changing things if you need to later on.

    Original Review: Aug. 5, 2020

    My boss asked me to trademark our company name. I hired Legal Zoom and paid, I believe, $700+/- to have the paperwork filled out and for the name search to be completed. No problem so far. After the trademark paperwork was submitted to the USPTO there was an "office action" from the trademark office. I asked Legal Zoom if they were going to respond and they said "No." Their response was "LegalZoom is a document processing and filing service, not a law firm and is unable to assist you with the office action you were issued from the United State Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). However, LegalZoom does offer a service called Business Advantage Pro (BAP) to provide you with access to licensed attorneys and tax professionals to assist you."

    Here is my issue with this. First of all, even on this Consumer Affairs website under the column labeled Pros, your site says they have experienced attorneys. Their website says you can get legal advice. Therefore one would assume that attorneys will be overseeing and advising on your legal matter. The two issues with our trademark submission were as follows:

    1. The picture of our website showing the name we are trademarking did not have a date on it and did not show the URL. If LegalZoom does this everyday, why would they not have the expertise to know this should have been submitted.

    2. Our company name had the word "Experts" in it. So we had to disclaim the trademark of the word Experts. Why didn't they tell us this.

    The USPTO trademark forms are complicated. I figured it out, I think, and submitted our response. Hopefully we will have an answer soon. I feel like Legal Zoom falsely advertises and is doing a bait and switch. My meaning. We'll submit the paperwork for you but if you want an attorney you will have to pay more. A typical bait and switch. Not happy. This service provides unlimited half-hour consultations on new legal and/or tax matters with licensed attorneys and tax professionals to help you ensure you are making the best choice for your business from a legal and/or tax perspective.

    Hi Donna. We are truly disappointed to know that we failed to meet your expectations. To be transparent, we offer both self-lead Trademark filings with the option of adding legal plan consults with independent attorneys in our network or Attorney lead trademarks also with independents in our network. We are very sorry for any miscommunication on our services involved with self-lead filings. As a courtesy and effort to try to regain some of your satisfaction, I have issued a full refund of the LegalZoom preparation cost of your application. Please contact us directly if you have any additional questions or concerns.

    Just paid all the fees upfront for the order for forming a corporation. All supporting documents provided. The agent were forthcoming and approachable up until right before the order was placed. Once order was placed monies were paid, suddenly agents are having a wait times of over 3 hours and no one reaches out. I paid for the express package, extra, about 200 dollars for them, but a terrible service and it has been placed on a hold due to no reason, or at least no reason provided even on the personal portal.

    I called to ask and they wanted to get license information to be uploaded. Something like this could have been communicated via email or on the client portal easily, but no - you are asked to called this number where inadvertently the wait time is over 3 hour all the time. Extremely poor customer service, please pay a little extra to a local well recommended attorney, THIS WEBSITE IS NOT UP TO THE TASK AND WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.
