    I have been a LegalShield member for 4 years. There has NEVER been a time that I have not been pleased with the service and the value. I have used my membership countless times. I may not have been pleased with the outcome of my situation, but the services that were promised were rendered. The advice was honest and truthful. The law is the law and in the situations where I was not pleased it was simply because the law was unjust...the law firm provider and the LegalShield service was top notch! I believe that this is a service that I will keep forever!!

    I could think of couple of things LegalShield has help me with. One that stands out the most -- We have Homeowners Association. Parking is restricted. Our son called us one day said the car was not where he parked it. Didn't see it anywhere. Come to find out it was towed. Had to pay $200.00 to get car back. Called the Law firm. Told them what happen. They wrote a letter on our behalf. In less than a week we got our money back.

    I insured a package I shipped to my client in Normal for $1400. USPS lost the shipment and after filing 2 claims they sent me a check for $60. I called my provider law firm and they wrote a letter on my behalf. After some time passed, I contacted USPS to see what's going on and customer care wasn't so caring. So I called my attorney, seeking legal advice. The attorney asked if I had contacted the lady that was on the letter for the legal department of USPS and I said "no." So I called her, explained the situation. She asked for a copy of our receipt and in 5 minutes I get an email from her apologizing, and they will cut a check for $1340 and I should receive the check in 7-10 business days. And I'm happy to say I received that check in that promised time.

    LegalShield has been a big impact in my personal life. When I was first introduced to what LegalShield has to offer I didn't truly understand how powerful it was until I used it myself. I was able to have my lawyer write a letter to this particular company that stated I had a outstanding balance and was threatening to damage my credit. The next day I called my attorney and they asked me to send that document in. It was a company that I did use their products but I knew I didn't have a debt. They immediately responded to the letter my attorney sent and stating, "We'll no longer be pursuing this matter." I appreciate and thankful my friend who introduced me to Legal Shield.

    Recently someone hijacked my Verizon mobile account and ordered 2 new phones and paid the bill with a stolen credit card. After spending almost 20 hours (this membership has taught me to document everything) on the phone trying to fix a mistake that was not mine, I found that "customer service" did not provide much service, and the adage "the customer is always right" does not apply. After calling my provider law firm and explaining my situation, they sent a letter to Verizon on my behalf, resulting in my receiving a call from a regional customer service manager who removed the fraudulent charges and credited my account an additional $160 for the time I spent trying to resolve this on my own. LegalShield rocks.

    I had one of our lawyer's review a contract for me before I signed it. After promptly reviewing the contract, I was informed that on "page 2, paragraph 2, the grammar was incorrect." When I was told that by the lawyer, I first thought to myself; "I wasn't asking for a grammar checker." But then I realized how thorough of a review on the contract she did for me. And other than my regular very inexpensive monthly membership, I didn't have to pay for that review of that contract.

One of my favorite stories is about an enormous speed bump that was placed in my neighborhood. It was so huge that it scratched my brand new Mustang every time I went over it. After getting nowhere with the HOA president, my law firm, Merritt and Webb wrote one letter to the same HOA president who this time decided to help. Within 5 days a crew of men were on the scene and sandblasted it down to a more reasonable size. Sparks fly when you get a lawyer involved. LegalShield member for life!

    LegalShield is an incredible service and was a tremendous help to us when we bought our home. When we bought our Dream Home, a problem with the title happened even after the escrow closed and we found out there was a lien on our property. Talk about a legal problem and worrying about the legal costs. Especially when the problem involves the title to your home. I couldn't believe that after a title search and we were told we had a clear title, that a lien from the County in which the house sits surfaced. Yes, there was a lien, from the county, for an outstanding sewage bill against it. We did everything the way you're supposed to do and never dreamed we'd be faced with a legal situation.

    After trying to deal with the escrow company, the seller's agent, and the county, and getting no where, I contacted my LegalShield Provider Law Firm. They wrote one letter on my behalf to the party that was responsible for paying the county sewage bill prior to us owning the home and the lien was removed. What took me weeks with no results took LegalShield only a few days and one letter. I was not charged for the letter that saved me countless hours and legal fees to resolve the legal situation. Thank You LegalShield! Our family will never be without this service.

    Where else can a 29 year old go and get competent legal advice a farthing of the cost? I have used these services dozens of times not because I'm a criminal but because it helps me save money, make better informed decisions and keeps me productive at work. I can't tell you how lost I am when it comes to identity theft. I don't know where to start, how long it will take or the costs involved. Having an identity theft policy without having access to 24/7 legal counsel is useless. You need both and LegalShield is the only company doing offering this.

Recently I received a bill from my Home Owners Association stating that I owed an additional $395 to the association for extra fees I incurred. I knew this was not the case and contacted the Association only for them to tell me they were legitimate and I needed to pay them. I let them know that this was not the case and I wasn't going to pay them. Their response was, "Ok we will send you to collections then." I called my LegalShield Attorney who reviewed the statement I received, advised me on the situation and contacted the home owners association on behalf. Well the tune sure changed when my attorney called them and the fees were waived. I am a LegalShield member for life!!!

    A couple of years ago my husband purchased a CD based personal development program. There was an initial fee and then a monthly after that. The program was a year long. After listening to the first of the CDs I quickly discovered that the program was not worth the plastic on which it was stamped. I complained to the company to no avail.

    Not to be outdone I called my LegalShield provider firm for our province and asked their advice. As the company is California based I was referred to them. I was very impressed when I received a callback from the California provider firm within hours of the referral. They had already reviewed the document I had provided. I was advised that the document was either so well or so poorly drafted that had the company sent me blank CDs it would have been the same in the eyes of the law. The lawyer offered a couple of suggestions on a course of action I could follow, which I did. Matter resolved to my great satisfaction.

    My first experience with my membership sealed my belief in having my rights protected with LegalShield.

    I had been buying my eyeglasses from a reputable nationally known company who were masters in eye wear for years, and spending several hundred dollars for my reading and sun glasses. However, in 2008 after receiving my new glasses I was unable to see out of the right lens of the reading glasses. I returned to the store several times in the next 5 months asking for help. I was told they needed adjusting, I needed to wear them more, etc... but then I started having headaches when using them so I returned to my eye doctor and asked if maybe something was wrong with my eyes. The doctor never looked at my eyes but checked my glasses and gave me a report showing they were the wrong prescription. I asked her to sign it and went straight back to the store happy that now this issue would be resolved.

    To my surprise I was informed that because it had been so long there was nothing they could do for me. I thought it was a joke at first but unfortunately I walked out with glasses I still could not use and out close to $400.00.

    I remembered the membership I had gotten months before and called my law firm immediately from my car. I received a call back in 5 minutes from an attorney offering assistance. We briefly discussed the issue, a letter was written on my behalf which resulted in a complete refund on my credit card. Convenient, easy, simple and DONE! Thank you LegalShield!

    I'm a school teacher by trade, so criminal intent and activity do not apply here. However, I wonder how I lived the first six years of my adult life WITHOUT legal access? It's like my grandparents who grew up without air conditioning. Now that they have it, they DON'T want to go back to not having it either. I'm the same way about legal access through LegalShield. In the last almost eleven years, I've spoken to an attorney about life situations almost 300 times!!! Things like traffic tickets, contracts, documents, and even just plain advice... PLUS two years of dealing with the IRS and two years of going back and forth with a former employer. Never did I go more than six hours before an attorney called me back to begin helping me.

    I am so grateful that someone introduced me to this AMAZING service. Before becoming a member of LegalShield I had never used an attorney before. Not because I didn't need one but I didn't know who to call/trust and honestly I could afford one for the minor issues I had been faced with. Since being a member of LegalShield, my family and I have used the services well over several dozen times and to date we have not had to come out of pocket with ANY additional fees outside of our monthly membership fee.

    Now, don't get me wrong, we have not turned into a house full of "bad" people :-) but we now have the peace of mind knowing that we can contact our highly rated LAW FIRM with any legal question/issue and not worry about paying high hourly rates. Our most recent experience with the service involved my 22 yr old son being represented in traffic court by one of the attorney's from the law firm (again he DID NOT have to pay any out of pocket expenses for the attorney to be PRESENT with him in court). He had a speeding ticket that carried a 6 point violation and a $385.00 fine. I'm not really sure what happened in the courtroom. All I know is my son called me all excited saying the ticket was DISMISSED! NO fines, NO points.

    That $385.00 savings paid for our family membership for the entire year! This is just one example of how Legal Shield has helped my family. And I not only save money but it allows us to live our lives knowing it doesn't matter how big or small the issue, we have access to a LAW FIRM of highly skilled attorneys who are ready and waiting to be of service to us.

I thought if I called them immediately I would get a refund. When I called Weight Watchers they told me I would not get a refund due to their policy since it was an online purchase. So My Daughter told me to call LegalShield and see what they can do. LegalShield wrote a letter on my behalf. The following next day I had a refund in my bank account for $18.95. I would never go a day without LegalShield. It has saved my households thousands of dollars in the last couple years.

    My husband and I purchased flooring to install ourselves. When we purchased the flooring, we asked if we would get money back for any unused/undamaged flooring. At the time we were guaranteed that we would get money back for any unused/undamaged product. However, when we were finished with installing the new flooring and it came time to return the flooring, the store went back on their word in regards to giving us our money back for the unused/undamaged flooring. I didn't waste any time arguing the point with the store but instead came home and called my law firm and explained the situation. After 2 hours, I received a phone call from the store apologizing for the misunderstanding and that they would in fact give us a check for $349 if I would return the flooring. Thank you LegalShield for making this situation right.

    LegalShield has been a tremendous benefit to me and my family on many occasions. I recall an experience I had with a storage unit facility. My mother and I had been renters of this facility collectively for over 10+ years. On many occasions I would use our grace period extension to pay our monthly storage fee.

    In October 2012 I attempted to pay on my storage unit and the site manager told me I had late fees attached to my unit and I wasn't allowed access to my unit. The manager told me that I was a day late paying my fees and they were demanding payment in full or my property would be auctioned off. After explaining to the manager that I wasn't late and I had paid my fees on many occasions during grace period, I was still advised I only had one option and that was to pay everything in full which was the month I was paying, the next month, late fees, and the lien fee. I attempted to call the company's corporate office but I didn't have much success between being placed on hold for over 30 minutes and only to have the company's representative tell they couldn't do anything to help me.

    I contacted my provider law firm who asked me to fax them a copy of the rental agreement. I asked the site manager for a copy of my rental agreement I signed online to forward to my attorney. I was told by the manager he'd send me a copy but he was told by the regional manager that there wasn't any chance of the fees being removed from my account.

    After receiving the agreement by mail I noticed that my signature had been forged onto the document. I faxed the document to my attorney and made them aware of my discovery. My attorney reviewed my paperwork and agreed with me regarding the late fee and signature. He said he would call the corporate offices and handle the situation.

    A few days later I received a call from the site manager who informed me that the regional manager removed all late fees and liens against my unit and I was free to access it immediately. Thanks to LegalShield. In that one incident they saved me almost $200.00. Way to go LegalShield!!!

    Recently my wife and I switched cellphone providers and the company that we left claimed that we broke a contract and as a result we had to pay $400 in early termination fees. The challenge we saw in this was that we never signed a contract. This prompted me to call customer care to resolve the unfair bill. We were told that when we upgraded our plan a new contract was implied and as a result we owed the fee. True to their word our next bill was for $441, the bulk of which was the cancellation fee.

    Fortunately we are members of LegalShield and as such we have access to one of the top law firms in Ohio. We contacted our attorney, faxed him the bill and he in turn wrote a letter on our behalf to the cellphone company challenging the legal validity of the bill. The result was quite pleasing to us as our following billing statement showed a zero balance with a $441 credit. We will forever be with LegalShield as situations like this tend to come up from time to time and we enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having protection under LegalShield!

I thought I knew about Musical Copyrights, but not as much as the lawyers at Parker Stanbury - and it saved me from making mistakes and spending money I didn't have to. I also like the fact that they always initially try to see if there's a way they can de-escalate a situation. If not, they are ready, willing, and able to take the appropriate action. When the problem is with your neighbor, making things worse is NOT the way you probably want to go if it can be avoided. Finally getting suggestions from the law team about how to speak to the Traffic Division about a Toll Road violation got the problem removed and that one incident was a large enough fine reduction to pay for my year's membership subscription.

    I have been a member since 1999. To me and my family, it just makes good business sense. Every time that I have called my Provider Law firm or Customer care, my issues were handled with courtesy and professionalism. I have never had a not returned call from our law firm, and on several occasions, because the attorney couldn't reach me during the week, called me on a Sunday to ensure that my case was handled. I would highly recommend the LegalShield membership to anyone. I feel I have peace of mind when I go to bed at night knowing that my wife and I are protected from the trivial to the most traumatic legal situations with only a phone call away.

    It was July. The temperature outside was 95 degrees. Inside my store it was over 100 degrees. My lease said the air conditioner that was outside the building was the landlord's responsibility to maintain. I called 7 times with no response. I called my LegalShield provider lawyer here in Ontario. They reviewed my lease and offered to write a letter to my landlord. Not four hours later I got a call, addressing me as Mr. **, and promising to have the ac unit fixed. It was repaired the next day!! No cost to me - thank you LegalShield for helping me exercise my legal rights and get what I deserved. The fun part is that for the next 5 years, every time I called my landlord he got back to me immediately!!

    I joined Legal Shield in 2002, after being introduced to it, and in need of extra income as well as legal services. When I asked myself WHY? I realized legal shield was for me. This business has really helped me to realize that there are other people who needed to be exposed to our services because of high legal fees and to get the best professional representation. To have unlimited access to an attorney 7 days a week, 365 days a year and emergency access is awesome!

    The residual income helps me to provide for my family, get through school and with my personal care and compassion for others, I exposed them to Legal Shield for their families. Helping others to gain access to this great business; a service for peace of mind to have well trained attorneys, who can give personal and expert advice, and knowing immediate help is at their fingertips. Becoming a part of the Legal Shield Team is the best decision I made for my family and me. Thank you(!) to my Sponsor and Team.

    When I bought a used car in 2013 I thought I had made an OK purchase. But then the heated seats burnt through the seat, and I realized that 4 or 5 features noted in the ad for the car didn't exist, and that the headlights were two different colors (further finding that it had been in a collision, even though I was shown a 'clean' Carfax report), I thought I was stuck with my purchase. But one call to the my law firm and the situation I was in resulted in being able to return it and getting a better car elsewhere for a better deal, saving me about $5,000! About a year later I needed a part and ordered it online. It turned out to be defective and the company refunded the part cost, but I had to pay for the return shipping. My law firm informed me that my consumer rights trumped the company's return shipping 'policy' and $8.95 showed back up in my checking account.

    These are just two of the many stories I could tell, but the long and short of it is that I have peace of mind and feel empowered in every situation knowing that I have a law firm to call for guidance. Not to mention about $12,000-$15,000 in value (versus about $1,000 in cost) over a 5+ year period. I love the membership and would recommend it to anyone!

We called our LegalShield law firm (at the time Prepaid Legal), told them the situation, and an entertainment lawyer called us back within an hour. He told us that the company was legitimate, and often won in court. We asked if we had to pay?

    I was very pleased with how the LegalShield law firm in Texas handled my lease review and follow up conversation. After a major storm, the rental office of the property I'd lived at for 10 years was now requiring all residents to secure renters insurance before the next lease renewal. Without proof of insurance, they would not renew the lease and gave a small window of time to move out. I contacted the TX law firm to see what my rights were and was relieved to find the rental office staff was taking advantage of the tenant's ignorance. In fact, when I mentioned that I was getting input from my attorney, the matter just went away. Not really an issue I would seek an attorney for if I didn't have my LegalShield membership. What a great value for the fact that I didn't have to stress or move out before I was ready...unlike many of my neighbors.

    I've used my LegalShield membership a few times in connection with consumer complaints. One was with Sprint and another more recent one was with DirecTV. I spoke with a knowledgeable attorney the same day upon each issue (years apart). Both issues had to do with the companies not delivering on their service contracts. Upon the attorney reviewing the contracts (which were also reviewed by LegalShield at no charge at the point of agreement), letters were written to both companies demanding compliance. Sprint jumped right away to make things right whereas sadly, DirecTV didn't, so they lost my business for good. As a result of those LegalShield letters however, Sprint has never again questioned me regarding phone warranty replacements in the years since, and DirecTV did not bill me for the time period left in their contract, for they were made aware in writing that they were in violation of both it and the services contract on the receiver.

    Basically, what happened was the receiver went bad and to install a new one, they wanted a signature signing up for another 2 years of service. They ask the installers to have you sign their mobile phone which references two documents of fine print stating so THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE in order to "install" your equipment. We had FOUR different installers come out and a case manager assigned to the issue because we REFUSED to be baited into another long term contract for replacing defective equipment that was already covered under their service fee that's charged each month. Follow that madness? Needless to say, LegalShield is very empowering.

    Last year, LegalShield saved me over $1200 for a mess I got myself in just by writing one letter. I bought a laptop by getting a zero interest credit card for 18 months. Not trusting myself to be on time with my payments, I arranged to have my bank mail my checks out for me. I thought I was being smart, however, I forgot to mark my calendar for the 18 month mark when my rate would go up... So when that day came, I was not paying attention as I was confident my bills were being paid. Then one day, I realized my rate had gone up to 22% and I had racked up a bunch of extra charges because my minimum payment amount had gone up. My bill was higher than my original purchase (which I had already paid back)!

    My phone started ringing every day from 7AM-midnight. I didn't want to answer because I didn't have the answers they wanted and I had lost my job and couldn't pay more than what I was paying. I decided to call LegalShield even though I knew I had signed legal documents when I bought the laptop. I didn't think they would be able to help me but I thought maybe they could advise me about how to make the situation a little less annoying.

    They wrote a letter to the company, explaining that I had fallen on hard times (lost my job). They demanded that they stop calling me, that they provide me with certain documentation on paper via mail, and that they lower my rate, remove the extra fees and arrange a payment plan that I would be able to meet based on what I actually would have owed. They insisted this be handled within 30 days or to CEASE AND DESIST. My phone stopped ringing almost immediately and I never received another bill. I guess they figured the cost of hiring their team of attorneys would not be worth it to go after me as I also have a team of attorneys. What amazing peace of mind!
