PREPAID LEGAL

 

 

Is it really possible to have an attorney “on retainer” for only $26 a month?  Incredibly, the answer is yes!  The key is how it’s done.  Prepaid Legal has over 1.5 million members in the U.S. and Canada so they can buy “in bulk”.  They contract with one of the largest, most reputable attorney firms in EVERY state.  Those firms hire dozens of associate attorneys to handle the new “huge client” that they have, thus drastically increasing the power and size of their law firm.  So not only do they become a bigger asset for us, we are also part of literally, their largest client.  Instead of just being a little guy with a little problem, we get the service and attention that their largest client would expect.  I personally have used Prepaid Legal for over 8 years now (as of April, 2010) and when I say “used” I mean USED.  When I first signed up, I told my wife (Julene) “For our kids sake, nobody should be without a will.  Why don’t we just sign up, get our wills done for free and then cancel it.”  I said that because way to many of us overlook having a will in place because really, nobody plans on dying right?  Well, bad things happen every day and if we are smart, we prepare for them.  It makes life a lot easier for our kids.  So that’s what I did.  I signed up and immediately got started on our will.  I also pretty quickly go yet another speeding ticket.  That allowed me to see firsthand how the Prepaid Legal service took care of that ticket for me and I didn’t have to pay a penny in attorney fees.  I also was in the landlord business at the time and had to have a few documents reviewed and a bad check collected (both of which the attorney’s handled for me for free).  Real quick I began to see just how much I got for my $26 month.  Instead of cancelling it, I had it set up to bank draft automatically out of my account and I have never been without it since.  I look at it as legal insurance and at that, it’s insurance that I actually want to use and that my premium NEVER goes up.  Since then I have used it for so many things that before, I would have had to just “roll over and take it” because it wouldn’t have been worth it to hire a lawyer.  For instance:

 

(If you don’t want to read about all the ways that I have used it, although it would be helpful for you, just click here and then click on “Family Legal Service plans” and watch a movie about how it can help you.

 

  1.  When we hit a deer with our van and the insurance didn’t want to give us what it was worth and basically treated us like dirt, we had the attorney call them and immediately they offered us $500 more.  That may not seem like much however it’s $500 we would have never seen which covered my Prepaid Legal fees for the next year and a half and even more importantly, I didn’t have to live with feeling like I got screwed.  Instead, I got to live with the feeling that we stood up for ourselves and didn’t get taken advantage of.  That alone is worth it!
  2. We used to sell antiques out of a store that we owned and we signed up for a service online to sell antiques for us online.  The service had a 30 day cancellation policy if we didn’t like it and after a few weeks, we had used it and not seen any real benefit from it.  We cancelled before the 30 day time frame and as you have probably already guessed, they still charged us over $800 and absolutely would not give it back and was sending us to collections.  One phone call to Prepaid Legal and the matter was fixed instantly.
  3. Our daughter was working for a company that “had issues” with treating it’s employee’s fairly.  Once, she lost her driver’s license and they literally wouldn’t give her paycheck to her even though they knew her for months.  One phone call from the Prepaid Legal attorney and it was immediately taken care of and she had her check.
  4. I hate to admit this however, both my wife and I have had “lead feet” in the past and way more than our fair share of tickets.  We have had them fix at least a dozen tickets over the last 8 years including 3 that were gotten in states that were a long, long ways away and they took care of all of them.  In our own defense, we have settled down on our speed a lot in the last couple years and have not had to use them for that (knock on wood!)
  5. Every time that we have bought a car, signed a lease, signed a contract (cell phone, gym, etc.) we send it off to the attorney for review.  Most the time, they come back without issues however a couple times they have alerted me to problems that needed addressed which saved me probable hassles and money loss.
  6. Right now, we are having to defend ourselves in a lawsuit to defend our lease being broken on the property in CA.  The lawsuit violates both state and federal landlord/tenant protections however, they have the money to try to push us around and this is a prime example of where just because someone has the money to be a bully, normally they could because most people don’t have the finances to spend tens of thousands of dollars to defend their rights so the predatory party would win.  Fortunately, with Prepaid Legal, we receive for free 20 hours of pretrial and over 200 hours of trial time.  Do the math on that one!  At $375 an hour, that’s $7500 worth of pre-trial hours and over $75,000 worth of trial, appeals, post trial, etc work.  Talk about not having to just let ourselves be bullied around!
  7. We’ve also used them for custody issues with my wife’s ex husband (which was a HUGE problem too), dozens of phone calls just to ask legal questions and so many other things I can’t even think of them all right now.
  8. Let’s be honest with ourselves here too.  How many times have you said “You’re going to hear from my attorney!” and then didn’t have the ability to back it up?  I suggest that you put your provider law firms number in your contacts on your cell phone and turn that into a reality!  Stand up for your rights!

I put these on here to show you what we have personally used them for and to give you some ideas of how they can help you.  There is no way, that we as individuals could ever even hope to get the kind of service that Prepaid Legal can give us for anywhere even remotely close to the $26 a month that they can do it for.  Prepaid Legal also has plans for small businesses, the self employed, large businesses, real estate agents, police officers (If you are a police officer, check it out for sure), etc.  If you are a business owner, it is an absolute must, not only for the Prepaid Legal aspect, it also gives you access to www.gosmallbiz.com which is an amazing resource to help people both grow and protect their business’s.  Prepaid Legal also offers the most comprehensive identity theft protection available.  It monitors all the major credit bureaus, your social security number (to make sure someone isn’t obtaining employment in your name and racking up owed taxes for you), your driver’s license number (to make sure someone isn’t impersonating you and getting tickets, etc in your name), medical records (to make sure someone isn’t impersonating you and sticking you with huge medical bills) and your civil record (to make sure nobody is being sued or suing people in your name).  Some of these you probably think (like the civil record) “I’m not worried about that” however, you should be because these other areas of fraud are growing by leaps and bounds because crooked people are becoming more and more ingenious with the ways that they have to scam money and if you haven’t been affected by one of these, at some point, you will be and when someone gets a hold of your information, they can affect you in all of them if they know how.  I have personal experience with my social security card being stolen 7 years ago and it was even remotely close to the nightmare that most people go through because they caught it immediately and saved me a ton of money and stress.

 

Prepaid Legal is not only an absolute necessity for most people today to help defend you and your families rights, help with legal issues and give you access to free advice, it is also a really positive way to make extra money by helping your friends to protect their families from the same issues.  For more information on how to join Prepaid Legal as not only a member but also as a representative either give us a call or click on this link:

We thank you very much for taking the time to read this and genuinely hope that you find this service to be as helpful for you, your family and your business as we have found it to be.  We will help you in every way that we can to gain the most out of it so please feel free to call or e-mail us at anytime.  This is a great service that I personally will never be without again.

 

Thanks,
