I recently called the WV provider law firm to have a rental/lease agreement reviewed. I would have been happy to have the attorney give me a green light on the contract. What I received was an on time phone call and a 48-minute review and explanation of the entire 15-page contract. I was simply blown away at the time and thoroughness of the attorney. I highly recommend LegalShield and the attorney that served me in this matter.

After my cousin's son was stopped by the police and he and his car were searched (he gave them permission to do so), I wondered what would happen if my daughter were stopped. What should she do? I was able to call our LegalShield attorney, who spoke with me at length about how to respond in such a situation. Such good advice to protect our citizens as well as our law officers - and it was all part of my LegalShield membership. I would not be without it!

I have had my membership with LegalShield for seven years, and I will never go without it. Every time I have called my law firm, they are more than willing to talk with me and help me in any way. Sometimes it was just to let me know what my rights are. I have recommended the service to my son and daughter who also have the service. My son has saved so much from the advice the attorney just in the last week.

I purchased a vehicle in January of 2014. During the process, I had called to ask the attorney what I should look for on the contract before I sign it. He told me to look for 'Other Fees' or 'Prep Fees'. When I was presented the contract, there were no 'Prep Fees', but lo and behold, there was a $695 'Other Fees'. When I asked the salesman what that was for, he looked at it and said, "Oh, that won't be on YOUR contract", and gave no other explanation. PURE PROFIT!!! I'm certain that if I hadn't asked, that fee WOULD have been there! That paid for my LegalShield membership for 3 years. I'll never be without my LegalShield membership!

This review is long overdue. My mother in law passed away July 2013 after a long illness. She was prepared and had all of her funeral arrangements taken care of. Including purchasing a costly family gravesite that had six plots. She was proud of the fact that this investment would not cause any hardship on her family. My father in law was buried there first and then in 2006 my young nephew was buried there as well. Now it was time for her to take her final resting place. When I went to the cemetery to make the arrangements with my brother in law we were told that we would have to pay an opening and closing fee which we expected.
However, the consultant then told us we had to pay for the "Rite" to use the plot. The fee was calculated based on the assessed value of the real estate at the time of opening it. I thought this sounded a little more than fishy. I knew I needed to call my LegalShield attorney to double check this. We stalled and said we did not want to pay this right now we needed to confer with our family. The salesperson then proceeded to tell us if we don't pay the extra $5,800 that we would not be able to bury our mother on Monday. Mind you this was the Wednesday before.
I was so glad that I had LegalShield because I was able to immediately contact the law firm and an attorney called me back promptly. He did research as I was talking to him and he concluded there is no "Rite" in the funeral industry - it was just an extra fee they wanted to add on. So he agreed to write a letter on our behalf and fax it into the cemetery, due to the time sensitive nature of our case.
We set an appointment to go back in and talk about her arrangements. This time, the supervisor came out holding the letter in his hand. He said, "Your attorney is 100% correct. This would be a breach of the original contract that your mother entered into agreement with us. We will never ever charge any of you a 'Rite' to use the remaining plots in your family grave site" and then he asked "Who is **?" My brother in law raised his hand, and was told, "Sir, we apologize but we owe you a $1,200 dollars because we charged you a 'Rite' fee when you buried your son ** in 2006."
Thank you LegalShield for saving our family $7,000! I feel sorry for all the families that may go through this and in a time of grief and stress were taken advantage of!! You have to know your rights or you don't have any.

In December 2014, I received a $54 parking citation after leaving my vehicle in a public lot of an apartment complex where I live. I consulted with my provider law firm Parker Stanbury. Attorney ** was assigned, and when I mentioned living in the location where I got the ticket, he said "fax me the documents for review." ** informed that normally parking violations are tougher to defend than moving but this might be an exception. He called back the next day saying because I lived in vicinity of where the citation was issued, forward the citation to the issuing jurisdiction along with my lease agreement proving my residence at the complex and a short letter stating such before the 21 day appeal period ended. I did just that.
In mid February 2015, I received written notice from the City of El Cerrito following their review of the appeal documents that the $54 fine was dismissed. While the disputed item was only $54, without LegalShield, I would have paid the fine. If you have enough of these small incidents pop up through time, the losses will silently add up. All I can say is this service works!

I have been using LegalShield for over 2 years and they have helped me with various questions including tax issues, traffic violations, and home protection via CCTV cameras. They have written approximately 10 letters on my behalf and over 20 phone calls. I have also set up a will and several trusts through them. I love the service so much that I decided to become a LegalShield associate and offer it to others needing protection.

I've been a member of LegalShield since 2011. Used in dozens of times from traffic related issues that our car insurance would have jumped 93%, eviction notice, Will preparation, even having an attorney to represent me in court at a 25% discount, which I won, and even 24/7 emergency access. I knew then what I was holding on to. I do not leave home without it. And neither should every American and Canadian.

There really isn't enough space here to share the many, many everyday life situations/problems that I have used this membership in not only one, but two provinces. After a wrongful dismissal in 2006, Mills & Mills got us a $14,000.00 settlement (in three weeks). When the recession hit in 2008 our Alberta provider law firm, Nickerson Roberts, Holinski & Mercer assisted us with our second job loss and the negotiation of keeping our leased vehicle on our return trip home to Ontario. When we arrived Mills & Mills wrote to the former company and secured us something we didn't even know we were entitled to. Full moving expenses and first and last months rent on our new home. Over $7500.00.
My partner has called the emergency number twice to get help with his custody/access situations. Neither time did he wait more than four minutes to receive a call from the lawyer who was able to calm his fears, and give him the right advice on how to proceed. I had a battle with a former employer over a pension that the law firm went above and beyond the service corresponding with me by phone and letter for almost an entire year! Some days, I just shake my head and wonder how folks can manage everyday without this membership... I know I will never be without it.

When I became self-employed, I sent in paperwork to roll over my 401K into an IRA. The financial company managing the account was taking over 3 months to complete the transaction. In that time, my funds had diminished by about $5K and they would not answer my inquiries as to what was happening. As it became apparent that I was getting nowhere with them on my own (foolishly thinking they would respond to me), I finally decided to call my provider law firm and spoke with an attorney who reviewed all of the paperwork going back and forth and offered to write a letter to them on my behalf. Within a week, my attorney received a response from that company's legal department and called to let me know that they were offering me $4,375.50 and would I accept? Obviously, my answer was a resounding YES. My membership continues to pay for itself over and over and, by my calculations, for at least the next 20 years just from this one issue.

Very easy to use, give great peace of mind. If you're a first time caller, the operator walks you through the process. Give the operator your member number and short description of the issue, and she'll give you an intake number for reference. The attorney will call back within 8 business hours. The attorneys are so polite and helpful. Most issues are resolved with just a letter or phone call from the attorney on your behalf. It's nice to have a champion fighting for the little guys.

I have been a LegalShield member for 11 years (even before it had that name). It has given me access to attorneys that I never dreamed possible. I had used a lawyer twice in the first 57 years of my life. Both very expensive. The first 9 years I had the LS membership, I got help on 143 different issues. Only once did I have to pay more than my $17 a month.
Sometimes they put money back in my pocket that someone had illegally taken from me. The biggest example was the $25,000 that returned to me through their actions from a fraudulent partner in a real estate deal. Sometimes it seemed trivial, but it was still unfair, and I believe in fairness. (A return of $39 to my grandson is the smallest amount I can remember). Sometimes it has been getting my papers in order like my wills. It has also been moving traffic violations that were dismissed, or kept off my driving record. Mostly it has been advice about my rights in a situation, or my responsibilities. It even helps when I don't use it. Just knowing I have a full-service law firm at my back in whatever state I may be in, encourages me to speak up when I feel things aren't fair, and sometimes just my posture on this issue is enough. I love LegalShield.

I used my LegalShield Membership under the 24x7 Emergency Access. My son took me for breakfast and I drove him home, Saturday morning about 11am. We were chatting in the car when two RCMP Officers pulled up and said "you are being detained." I asked "arrested?" "No detained." I said "just me." "No, you and your son." They said "get out of the car and leave your doors open as we are going to search your vehicle." I asked "why am I being detained?" They said suspicion of drug trafficking. I advise that I needed to call my lawyer. They said "no, we are the RCMP officers, just trust us." I said "I am going to call," and I reached in my purse to pull out my LegalShield Membership card. They said "put your hands up." I was so upset I called my husband as I was not thinking clearly he told me to call LegalShield.
I finally showed the RCMP my card and said either you dial or I will dial. I called through and they immediately verified it was an emergency and put me through to the lawyer on call. I told him why I was being detained and he asked to speak to the officer. I handed my phone to the officer and within less than a minute the officer handed me my phone back, apologized to my son and I and said "Ma’am we are very sorry but we were just doing our job as some neighbor called this in." How embarrassing, frustrating and how long might we have been held had we not been able to call our own lawyer on call for advice and help. Don’t leave home without your LegalShield card! Thank God for LegalShield!

Travelling over the Port Mann Bridge in Coquitlam in Feb 2014, my car was hit by ice that broke loose from the wires overhead on the new Port Mann Bridge. My windshield was smashed in 8 places and luckily we managed to stay in our lane and keep driving. I reported the incident to my insurance company as well as the company (TREO) who control the bridge. The windshield was repaired and my insurance company covered the repair but I had to pay a $200 deductible.
After spending 5 months trying to get my deductible back, I called LegalShield. They suggested that they write a letter on my behalf and within three days, I received a phone call from the law firm informing me that the cheque was being issued by TREO and sent that day. Wow! I should have called them a lot earlier! It wasn't so much the money as it was the principle. Like so many firms, the longer they drag it out the more likely a customer is to give up and forget about it. With my LegalShield membership I never have to worry about having to give up.

I was traveling from Dayton, OH to Memphis, TN to a festival. My plane was late leaving Dayton, therefore missing my connecting flight in St. Louis, MO that left the airport 15 minutes early. I was put up in a hotel. When I got to the hotel (late in the evening), I went to my room, then came back downstairs to get something to eat. I took the elevator to the lobby. However, the door wouldn't open, and I was stuck in the elevator. All of a sudden, smoke began to fill the elevator as I pushed buttons and yelled for help. It took about 20-25 minutes before I was rescued by the Fire Dept. and taken to ER where I waited for 8 hrs, treated and released.
That morning, I was shuttled back to the airport to catch my flight. Upon arriving home, the hotel manager called me and offered me $500 for pain and suffering. I refused the offer and contacted my law firm. The attorney was very courteous, and advised me step by step what to say when I responded to the hotel manager. I was then contacted by the hotel's atty. In the end, I received a check for requested amt. and my hosp. bill was also paid in full.

When we first got the LegalShield membership, all we needed was our will (included as a gift just by signing up). We saved $1400 by not going to a traditional lawyer who charges by the hour. Then we weren't sure if we were gonna use the membership again (because we're good people), but we had a problem with our neighbor and asked a lawyer what our rights were. Since then my husband received a traffic ticket and had a lawyer represented him in court. He was first up and got his fine reduced. At this time, we are in communication with a lawyer about our rights regarding a recall that's not being fixed in a timely manner. This membership gives us a peace of mind as homeowners and parents of two young boys. Thank you LegalShield!

I have been a happy member with LegalShield since November 2014. I have already called my firm four times with separate questions related to employment, traffic, taxes and my HOA for our home. People don't think or realize they need legal advice but it's amazing how often questions come up where I find having the advice of an attorney is beneficial. I also have the identity theft protection plan for my whole family. It's great knowing that in our technology driven society my family's identity will be protected and restored in the event somebody tries to defraud us.

I have been a member for 15 years with LegalShield. I can not say enough about The Anderson Law Firm here in Alabama. Once again they have proved to be an asset to me and my family. I was having an issue with a large corp in NYC that I felt owed me a refund but after several attempts of calling and emailing them asking for a refund. Which they said it was their policy to not give refunds even after they had not delivered what they promised and continued to change the rules of the company numerous times over the course of the past year. So as always when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of I called LegalShield and spoke with attorney ** who listened for 20 minutes patiently taking notes and making sure he understood how and why I felt I was taken advantage of. He ask me to send him some of the paperwork I had on the company for his review.
He called me back the next day after reviewing the documents and told me he would be sending them a letter explaining why they should refund my money. A few days later I got a phone call from the compliance dept of the company in NY who wouldn't talk with me before! Asking how he could help me resolve my problem and get my money refunded to me. Well to bring this story to an end I was given a full refund of $3800 because I am a LegalShield member who had a great attorney who cares about me.
So by using my membership it cost me nothing for Consultation with Mr ** along with document review and having him intercede on my behalf with a letter to the company. And the best part is that I was not charged one dime out of pocket for the attorney's services - it was all covered as part of my small monthly membership fee. So as a 15 year member let me say this is just one story of many I have had over the years as a member. If you don't own this membership let me encourage you to get one today.

As I came up to a really nice restaurant that sets tables outside during the daytime on the sidewalk. There were 4 elderly ladies sitting talking after they had finished their lunch. I probably could have gotten by but it would have been closed so I stopped and asked one of them if she would move up so I could go by. She look at me even with my handicap sign being visible told me NO she wouldn't.
Before I could say anything a police officer was driving by and they waved him over. Soon as he walked up they said I was harassing them. The officer looked at me and said, "Maybe you shouldn't be on the sidewalk with that." I showed him a letter I carry on my Segway from our law firm showing I am disabled and this is how I get around. He then told them they had to move forward and let me go by. Then she told the police officer what if she didn't? Haha. He told her it was her choice move out of my way and let me go by.

1. I received a speeding ticket & was not eligible for traffic school (due to attending in the previous 18 months).

This kept 2 points off of my driving record, saving me thousands in insurance premiums for the 3 years the points would have remained on my driving record.
2. I was overcharged almost $400 by my cell phone company. After calling their customer service department, both the representative & their supervisor told me I had to pay the charges or my phone would be turned off and my account would be sent to collections. I called LegalShield and they wrote a letter for me. As a result, I received a full credit for the amount I was overcharged and an apology phone call.

One day I received a notice that I had lost all my demerit points as was going to lose my license for 3 months. Being self employed this was not good. I called LegalShield to see what I could do, they put me in contact with a retired police officer. I gave my driving abstract to him, within 2 days I got my license back with a check in the mail for $110. There was an additional cost for the retired cop's fees of $160 so minus what I got back in the mail it cost me $50 to have my license back. Was a small price to pay. Thank you LegalShield. I will never be without you.

We have had our legal & identity theft plans for over 5 years. Used it over 90 times in 16 different areas of law in 5 states so far. We especially make sure to use them to review multiple contracts before making a decision on which company to work with making us more informed and protected homeowners. We also saved more money using our member hotel discounts, than our plan even costs in a year. I wish we had this plan since we were 18 yrs old, as we are still paying for the ignorant decisions of our 20s without the plans. However, we are very grateful to be able to teach the kids to always check their rights.

I am a Small Business owner and the very first time I used My LegalShield membership was for a small claims case I had against a company that owed me $8000.00 for services rendered & Refused to pay me. The referral partner attorney attended several court appearances on my behalf and won the Judgement in my favor. My Bill should have been about $5000.00 but it was much, much less! I will keep this membership forever!

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.

When LegalShield was introduced to me, I am embarrassed to say that I did not have an up to date will. I had two teenage children and an ex-wife. I knew it was important for me to up date my Will - however it always seemed an expensive and daunting task until I had the LegalShield membership. Now I have used it for many many other things. It just makes sense to have this plan.

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. Without LegalShield, it just wouldn't happen at all, let alone in such a short period of time. I'd never be without my legal access through LegalShield, especially as a business owner.

I moved out of my home and received a letter from the HOA stating that there were weeds on the property. Since I needed to go back by the property anyway, I decided to spray weed killer and pull up the weeds. I then called and emailed them to let them know that I had officially moved out of the property. I received a letter two months later indicating that I was being fined for $1,900.00 due to weeds in the yard. I ignored the letter and I received a new letter with interest totalling $2,300.00 AND an additional letter regarding another issue where I was being fined for $1,100.00! I decided it was time for LegalShield. LegalShield wrote the HOA on my behalf, at no additional cost, I received a letter from the HOA letting me know that they would be directing future correspondence to the new homeowners of the property.

When I sat down with my new landlord-to-be we went over the lease and after we finished reviewing it, I asked if I could have a copy to take to my law firm and have them review it before I signed it? He gladly printed off a extra copy which I dropped off at the law firm. Within 72 hours I received a call from the law firm and the attorney recommended 9 changes to the lease. I then went back to the landlord and he accepted all 9 wording changes with only one minor adjustment that we both agreed on. Amazing service for just a flat monthly premium.

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.

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!!!
