I discovered LegalZoom through a TV commercial when I was in search of a cost-effective way to create a will. Traditional attorney fees were just out of budget, and LegalZoom seemed like a good alternative. My experience with them was fantastic. The process to create a will was incredibly easy and budget-friendly. They offer excellent support over the phone, readily available to tackle any questions I had. This made it such a hassle-free experience that I didn't hesitate to recommend them to several friends.
Their team was knowledgeable and available, answering all my inquiries, which reinforced how much I valued their service. I even updated my will recently after getting remarried, which was a straightforward process. Overall, I've experienced a great sense of security knowing my will is up-to-date and compliant with my state regulations. In terms of service value versus attorney costs, LegalZoom has been not only economical but reassuring in ensuring everything is properly managed for the future.
Hi Jamie,

I like the simplicity and cost-effectiveness provided by LegalZoom, especially when it comes to managing my corporate documentation annually. For over 12 years, they have handled my needs seamlessly, which gives me peace of mind knowing our LLC is in compliance without the burden of handling it myself. The convenience of setting it up and almost forgetting about it can't be overstated. Their customer service consistently impresses me, as they promptly address any questions or concerns over a single phone call.
Though LegalZoom offers various services, my journey has been primarily with their LLC support, crucial for maintaining our retirement savings strategies. It's a service I value highly, reflecting in my strong recommendation to others seeking similar assistance without the hefty fees of local business services for straightforward quarterly documentation tasks.
Hi Louis,

I will definitely pass on the feedback that our team has consistently impressed you with prompt and effective customer service.

LegalZoom's approach is very hands-on—they simplified the process significantly. Although there was some confusion at the end regarding the publication of my LLC, this was ultimately something I needed to handle myself.
In terms of working with LegalZoom, they were very responsive and involved, which expedited the procedure faster than I expected. Reaching out to their representatives and communicating throughout was not difficult at all due to their prompt responses.
I've even recommended them to my niece, who is contemplating setting up her own LLC. Overall, my experience with LegalZoom has been nothing but positive.
Hi Janet,
Thank you for your feedback on your experience with LegalZoom! We’re thrilled to hear that our team made setting up your LLC both streamlined and quick.

I was looking to handle some legal matters and found LegalZoom's online platform to be remarkably straightforward and user-friendly.
Over the years, I've occasionally needed to update or modify my original documents, including a revision I completed online in the last six months. I appreciate how easy they've made it to manage everything myself through their website, reducing the need to contact customer service. However, on the rare occasions that direct interaction is necessary, I’ve found their team to be extremely helpful.
Now, after almost two decades of using LegalZoom, I am quite satisfied. The quality of their services is excellent. Even though I handled my recent updates entirely online without much human interaction, the process was problem-free. The price for their services has always seemed fair to me, and I’d recommend them to friends and family.

After a detailed conversation with my sister, who spoke highly of LegalZoom, I tried to use their services to assist with starting my business. The process was pretty satisfactory, although it took a little longer than anticipated—around two weeks to receive my EIN.
While I wasn’t given a specific timeframe for processing, this was the only drawback in an otherwise smooth experience. Engaging LegalZoom relieved me of the task of managing legal paperwork and business registration myself, which saved me a considerable amount of time.
LegalZoom is reliable, but you might find it beneficial to apply for your own EIN and let them take care of the other necessities. Overall, I'm comfortable with the services they provided and would indeed recommend them if your primary focus is saving time while establishing your business.

LegalZoom was a family referral. Since I've been using the service for less than a year, I've found their platform helpful in keeping my business affairs in order. One of the standout features is how they keep me informed and help me stay on track with my business setup.

With a growing handyman business, I wanted to ensure my personal assets would be protected and keep things above board. When I went searching for an easy and affordable solution, Google was my initial go-to. I learned about several services and, recognizing the name LegalZoom, I decided to check it out. It stood out to me because the price was very reasonable given that I had little capital to start with.
The process to set up my LLC was incredibly straightforward. It took no more than 30 minutes, which was impressive. However, I do think having an option for live assistance could be beneficial. Even a service where I could phone in and have someone take care of it could be worth a premium. If there's such an offering, it wasn’t clear online, but would certainly add value.
I would highly recommend LegalZoom to anyone considering starting a business, looking for assistance with estate planning, making a will, document review, or tax planning strategy. It provides reasonably priced services, making it a valuable resource.

Legal Zoom is awful, plain thieves. I paid close to $1,000 for an LLC when I actually needed a PLLC and even though I fully explained the nature of my business (mental health counseling private practice) at no point did they tell me a PLLC is the required. When I tried to close my account with them after I explained the above, they kept repeating themselves going around in circles.
First, they stated they are not the department that resolves this and later claimed there’s no way to resolve this since this was already done. Yet, when I last spoke to them in early October, they claimed it would be $49 and some change fee for closing my case. Over a month later and my case is still open!!!! Plain thieves, please do your research before you choose them, I unfortunately failed to do to my own research, they can’t be trusted!! Now, they claim not able to close my case because I first need to submit proof that I have established an agent with someone else. PLAIN CROOKS!!!

I've utilized LegalZoom's services twice now, the first time to obtain my LLC and the second for another business endeavor. LegalZoom has been exceptionally helpful and responsive at every turn.
For both businesses, I found their services invaluable. They guided me through filling out the necessary forms, listened to my concerns, and provided a reassuring level of support. It's especially impressive considering their size; they still offer prompt and friendly service without the impersonal feel of a large organization.
The binders they provided with all pertinent business documents were a tangible benefit of using LegalZoom. Their team has always handled my queries efficiently, whether it’s for remembering an LLC number or other business-related questions.
I plan to contact them again for advice on promoting my new store and what costs might be involved. LegalZoom has consistently impressed me, with no rude attitudes, just approachable professionalism. I've been more than satisfied with their services.

LegalZoom charged me $499 per business for registered agent services after I had already changed my registered agent and they were no longer listed as agent of record. Previously the fee was $299, so not only was the charge higher, it was for services not being provided. The moment I saw the charge, I called. The representative confirmed that future renewals would be canceled but refused to issue a refund, even though LegalZoom is not my registered agent and I did not authorize renewal under these circumstances.
On top of that, their system will not allow me to remove my credit card information, and support told me they also cannot remove it. That means I cannot fully revoke authorization and remain exposed to potential unauthorized future charges. In my opinion, this is an unfair and misleading billing practice: charging for services not rendered, refusing a prompt refund request, and preventing removal of a stored payment method. I will be disputing the charges with my credit card company and reporting this to consumer protection agencies. If you use LegalZoom, double-check who your registered agent actually is with the state and be very careful with auto-renewal and stored payment methods.

I hired Legal Zoom to create a LLC. That was fine. However, three months later, Legal Zoom started charging me $9.99 for a subscription I NEVER signed up for. I contacted the company via email but received a notice that email has been disabled and I need to "chat". Well, an hour later, I still wasn't able to resolve the issue. I waited online for more than 30 minutes for supervisor to help me. I finally contacted my credit card company and did a chargeback for the unauthorized charges and also blocked them from ever charging me again. It was a horrible customer service experience and I'll never use them again.

I needed assistance with setting up my business, and LegalZoom was one of the first options I found through an online search. My experience with LegalZoom has been fantastic. They've supported me not only with business setup but also during tax season by preparing the necessary documentation, which really eased my worries. LegalZoom's partnership with Wix allowed me to create a business website seamlessly, which was an added bonus.
Interacting with their representatives has been a smooth experience. During tax seasons, finding someone to chat with for assistance on tax-related queries was straightforward. Renewing subscriptions has also been hassle-free and informative. I’d wholeheartedly recommend LegalZoom to anyone embarking on the journey of starting a business but require guidance. The setup process was straightforward, though perhaps a step-by-step consultation feature with a live person could enhance the service, but it wasn't critical since the guidance provided was clear enough.
The entire process took approximately five to six months, from initiation to completion. Overall, I've had a very positive experience with LegalZoom and continue to value their service greatly.

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience using LegalZoom. I called yesterday and paid for a Statement of Information to be filed with a rush on it. I clearly explained to the representative that I had already contacted the Secretary of State (SOS), and they informed me that filing the Statement of Information should lead to reinstatement of my business.
Despite this, I was later told by your team that “we can’t assist with reinstating your business’s active status through an annual report. Please contact the Secretary of State to reinstate.” This directly contradicts what I was advised and what I paid for. I am highly annoyed. This entire process was a complete waste of four hours of my time. I expected clarity and support, not confusion and delays. Transferred 3 times incorrectly. I would definitely not recommend using LegalZoom after calling and asking for a refund and spending another hour trying to get that issue handled.

Absolute Scam — They Take Your Money and Vanish! LegalZoom is a complete joke. They happily took my money, then their damn website froze right after payment.

When I finally got someone on the phone, the so-called “customer service” agent kept repeating the same useless line: “Call your bank for a refund.” Then they hung up on me like it was nothing.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience using LegalZoom. The services they provide are far from complete or cohesive with the client’s needs. While they advertise simplicity, affordability, and support, what I actually received was a set of generic, one-size-fits-all documents that left major gaps and failed to address my specific situation in any meaningful way.
The entire process felt rushed, cookie-cutter, and impersonal. The platform made it seem as though I was getting customized help, but in reality, it was nothing more than a pre-filled template that I could have drafted myself for free. At no point did I feel that my concerns were understood or that my documents reflected the unique needs of my family.
When I sought clarification, the responses I received were vague, unhelpful, and often contradictory. Customer service representatives read off scripts and gave little to no actual guidance. Instead of resolving issues, they left me more confused than when I started. For the amount I was charged, I expected thorough and reliable service — instead, I was left with incomplete results and ultimately had to seek additional help from an actual attorney to ensure my documents were legally sound.
LegalZoom appears to be far more focused on selling a product than on ensuring clients leave with effective legal solutions. They market themselves as an affordable alternative to hiring an attorney, but the reality is that they take your money, deliver inadequate results, and then refuse to reimburse you when you realize their service isn’t what was promised. Their customer service is virtually nonexistent, and there is no genuine concern for client satisfaction.
If you want documents that actually work for your life and circumstances, don’t waste your time or money here. Go directly to an attorney who will listen, understand your needs, and prepare documents that are tailored to your situation. LegalZoom is not a substitute for legal advice, and in my experience, their services created more problems than they solved.
