Additional information & limitations

 

At this point you may be in one of two places. Either you’re ready to join LegalShield to start saving money and reducing stress or you have a few lingering questions. One of the top questions we get from prospective members is “will my exact legal situation really be covered by the standard member benefits?”

As mentioned above, everything is covered one way or the other. Certain complicated situations may require additional legal services which are provided at a generous 25% discount off the lawyer’s standard hourly fee. If you’re still not sure you’ll be covered by the standard benefits or just want additional details, there are three main ways to get the information.

Personal Plan coverage details

 

A small monthly fee gets you access to legal help on an unlimited number of personal legal issues from lawyers with an average of 22 years of experience. This page provides detailed information on what is included with your monthly fee.

 

Who the plan covers

  • Members, spouses and partners
    The person signing up for the plan (the Member) as well as the member’s spouse or partner are covered.
  • Dependant children
    Never-married dependant children of the member or member’s spouse, under 26 years of age who are permanent residents of the member’s household or full-time students are covered, as well as dependant children under age 18  for whom the member or member’s spouse is the legal guardian. Any dependant child, regardless of age, who is physically disabled or mentally incapacitated and unable to make legally binding decisions, unable to be employed, 51% or more financially dependant upon the member and member’s spouse and lives at home with the member or member’s spouse are covered too.

What your lawyer can do for you

  • Provide advice by phone
    You can always speak with your lawyer to get legal advice on an unlimited number of personal legal matters in any area of law, including pre-existing issues. Your lawyer will speak with you for as long as he/she believes is necessary to adequately advise you on the matter in question. Also, if necessary, your lawyer will provide up to one hour of legal research on each matter, for no additional fee.
  • Write letters or make phone calls on your behalf 
    If after the phone consultation, your lawyer determines that a letter or phone call from them would help you resolve the legal issue, they will write one letter or make one phone call on your behalf. If additional phone calls or letters from the lawyer are needed, they will be provided at 25% off the lawyer’s hourly rates.
  • Review documents 
    You may submit any personal legal document up to 15 pages or less that’s related to the legal issue being discussed so long as you or one of your covered family members is party to the contract. Your lawyer will review the document and advise you by phone about any areas of concern and the legal implications. Their goal is to arm you with the information you need to resolve the situation. Should you choose to have the lawyer engage in extensive negotiation on your behalf, those services are available at 25% off their standard hourly rate.

In case such as Personal Injury Lawsuits, members may work out contingency fee or flat fee agreements with their lawyer’s as well. The beauty of a LegalShield plan is that no matter the situation, our members are covered and can save literally thousands of dollars over standard lawyer client relationships.
  • MEMBERPerks and discounts that can pay for the plan by themselves – view member discounts
    As a LegalShield member, you’ll be entitled to receive significant discounts and savings from a variety of popular brands you probably already use. It’s not uncommon for people without a current legal issue to join LegalShield just for the MEMBERPerks. Combine the awesome savings with some of the standard plan benefits, such as getting a lawyer prepared Will, Power of Attorney and Living will, and it becomes almost ridiculous not to join.
