Personal Plans from LegalShield cover most personal legal issues. Most day-to-day legal issues are covered by the standard member benefits with no additional fees. If your specific personal legal need is more unique and requires additional legal assistance beyond the standard benefits, your provider law firm can help you at a discount off their standard hourly rates. If you still have questions on coverage, call us at (833)-951-2754. LegalShield provider law firms do not assist with International Law, Military Law and Tribal Law.
Most pre-existing situations can receive consultation and a discount from the provider law firm’s standard hourly rate. There are exclusions and exceptions, but your provider law firm can provide advice and possibly more on most pre-existing situations. Current exclusions and exceptions include:
- Any civil action, motor vehicle tickets or charges relating to an event that happened before starting your membership.
- Any IRS inquiry, investigation, or notice received before the start of your membership.
With a LegalShield membership, you don’t have to. There’s no countless hours of researching. No stressing, no guessing. LegalShield takes the vetting and selection of law firms very seriously. You can be assured that all the dedicated provider law firms are experienced. They actually have an average of 22 years of experience!
Each state and some parts of Canada each have their own dedicated law firm. Members are to contact their dedicated provider law firm for membership services.
As a member you can contact your provider law firm right from the LegalShield mobile app or call them directly. A customer service representative will ask you what type of legal matter you have, verify your address and phone numbers, gather information about your legal matter, and forward your information to the assigned provider lawyer.
It depends on your legal matter/situation. When you contact your dedicated provider law firm and explain your legal situation, they will have a provider lawyer call you. Once you speak directly with the assigned lawyer, they will be able to determine what legal assistance is needed for your specific situation.
You may not work with the same lawyers if you have legal issues in totally different areas of law. However, you will work with the same provider law firm for your covered legal needs.
