About LegalShield

Written by the company

What is LegalShield?

LegalShield is a legal subscription service that provides access to a network of provider law firms for a low, monthly fee. For over 50 years, LegalShield has made it affordable and easy for members to connect with designated law firms across the United States and parts of Canada made up of seasoned lawyers with an average of 22 years of experience that can consult on things like:

  • Will preparation and estate planning
  • Consumer and bill issues
  • Contract review

Plus, they can write letters or make phone calls on your behalf and they are at your service 24/7 for covered legal emergencies. We offer a variety of personal and business membership options and there are currently 4.5 million people protected by LegalShield.

What exactly is a legal subscription service?

Instead of paying a lawyer by the hour, pay a small monthly or annual fee and get access to a law firm that can advise you on a variety of legal issues—but without a huge bill.

What is covered under the Personal LegalShield Membership?

As a LegalShield Member, you get access to a variety of legal services, in general, including: advice on an unlimited number of personal legal issues, letters or calls made on your behalf, contract and document review (starting at up to 15 pages each) and more. Review a plan contract for complete terms, coverage, amounts, conditions, eligibility, limitations and exclusions.

If the basic personal membership doesn’t cover my specific situation, how much will it cost me?

Many day-to-day personal legal issues are covered by the standard membership with no additional fees. If your personal legal issue is not a fully covered benefit, as a LegalShield Member, your Provider Law Firm can consult with you and provide additional referral services necessary to assist you at a discounted rate of the provider lawyer's standard hourly rate.

How can I access my legal team in an emergency?

Access after-hours legal consultation for covered personal legal emergencies such as an arrest or detainment, if you’re seriously injured in an automobile accident, or if you’re served with a warrant. Just call 1-877-825-3797 to speak to a representative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also log in to the LegalShield mobile app and select Call Emergency Line to make your call.

What is LegalShield's cancellation policy?

LegalShield is a monthly legal subscription service, and our members have the right to cancel at any time. Per our company policy, all cancellation requests must be provided in writing. The easiest way to cancel is by emailing us at support@legalshieldcorp.com with your name, membership number, phone number, and your request to cancel the membership.

For annual memberships, you may cancel any time after your first 12 months. If you would like to speak to someone about options to maintain your membership, please call as soon as possible to keep any pre-trial hours or other benefits you may have accumulated at (844)-714-8494 between 7-7 CST Monday-Friday, and a member of our team would be happy to help.

I have been trying to cancel this service for 5 months. I have called and been told to send email. I have sent 5 emails and all 5 reply they are working on it and then never hear from them then they charge you again. I would give 0 stars if I could. Do not sign up because they will never let you stop paying. My real attorney is now involved.

They are horrible

They are horrible. Do not give them your bank information because they just go in and help themselves even though my account was on hold.

They took money and they were not suppose to and caused one of my checked to not be covered and cost me 25.00 charge on my account.

Now they are saying I am not getting my money back but I have started a chain of reaction to several places.

Just because they are lawyers they think they can do what they want with your money.

They illegally took money from my account.

I would say if you are going to use them once you make your first payment block them for any other withdrawals unless you approve them, good luck.

I was in the process of finalizing my will with my assigned attorneys office, and had a few basic questions I needed answers to clarify the draft. They told me it would take 4 weeks to get an appt, but Legal shield claims you will get returns within less than 8 hrs. I spent hours on the phone trying to get this resolved, but legal shield came back saying they could see if I could speak to another office to get my questions answered. Do not waste your money....they have no authority to enforce their policy with the lawfirm. you get what you pay for!

Affordable Legal Help

For the monthly cost, the value is remarkable. I have always felt like legal help was only for people who could afford a retainer, LegalShield changed that equation completely for me.
Everything about the experience was pleasant. The law firm assigned to my plan has been incredibly responsive — calls were typically returned the same business day, and the attorney whom I spoke with was knowledgeable & patient. I've used the service to send a demand letter to a contractor, and got advice on how to move forward given the situation with our contractor. The experience was professional and thorough.

Satisfied Customer

I was very satisfied with the services received from the staff at LegalShield. Representatives were always helpful in directing me to the law firm to assist with all legal questions. The attorney assigned to my case gave sound legal advice and showed ample patience in guiding me through the process. Again, quite satisfied with overall services.
