“Recently I had a problem with a Real Estate Professional. My LegalShield lawyer stayed on top of the situation and even called on their own to check and see how I was doing! Now that is professional on another level. It showed me that my lawyer cared not only about my case, but about me as a human being (which lawyers are rarely known for). Thank you LegalShield for a job being well done!”

“LegalShield saved me over $300 by writing a letter to my [my internet provider] getting me out of a 24-month contract due to several issues. [My provider law firm] is also helping me out with my Will! Thank you.”

“[My provider lawyer] was great to work with. He listened and very quickly understood exactly what happened to us at the [local car] dealership. The letter he composed was enough to leverage the dealership to step up and take responsibility for their shortcomings during the service of the vehicle. Thank to [my provider lawyer] the dealership agreed to provide the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. Thank you.”

“Had no idea what a Power of Attorney letter was until my son’s grandmother asked me to get one made while he’s out of state with her. I just want to thank LegalShield for providing me with that document for free because I asked the lawyer how much would this have been outside of LegalShield, she said $800 for consultation $400 for sending information to her and $1,400 for the document being created I’m like woooooooooow I just saved $2,600. That’s why I love LegalShield.”

“Divorce with children is never easy, especially for the children. Having a provider firm that is caring and empathetic towards my personal situation has taken a bit of the burden and stress off me. That has freed me up to be the mom I want to be for my children, without the worry of the divorce process. I couldn’t be more grateful for the help and support I’ve received from them! Kudos to such an amazing team of professionals who haven’t forgotten the power of human kindness!”

Traffic Violations and Accidents
It’s nearly impossible to drive a vehicle for any number of years and not have some legal issue pop up. Next time you have a run-in with the police, another driver or a “friendly” meter maid, call your LegalShield lawyer and get a better outcome.
- Speeding tickets: Contact your lawyer and they will represent you. They may be able to avoid points, save your license and save you time and money.

- Disputes: Your lawyer can review any documents in question, provide advice by phone, or make calls and write letters on your behalf to help settle disagreements.
- Province law advice: Every state has different laws governing the rights of landlords and tenants. Since LegalShield has law firms covering every province, you can get help no matter where you live.
Family Law and Divorce
Family law issues are often some of the most difficult to deal with from an emotional standpoint. Having the comforting hand of a competent lawyer to guide you through the process will reduce stress, protect your rights and minimize damage to any children involved. All while saving you money on legal fees.
