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:
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 was told by the person who answered phone for LegalShield that they would sent out paper work for Power of Attorney and will. Have not received any paper work.

I needed help with several things at once and Legal Shield stepped up.

The attorney took the time to make sure she understood my situation and clearly explained what was and was not required by law.

The ease of calling and speaking to an attorney

Reply from LegalShield
I had forgotten why I was a member years ago and didn't renew. Before reinstating my membership I spoke to a supervisor who answered all my questions and promised they would provide legal assistance for two pressing matters. These both had critical deadlines, one with a court date. The attorneys they referred me to did not follow up, did not even contact me directly; I had to initiate contact with them contrary to what I was told and the partner from the law firm in my state was kind enough to speak to me at least twice over the phone yet also did not offer any assistance. One of the attorneys requested I send documents at two separate times for both matters yet failed to even respond after that knowing I had court dates and critical deadlines. All in all, LegalShield wasted critical time and I ended up not having representation for either matter resulting in one devastating loss. LegalShield continued to call and want me to fill out their surveys and speak to more people people with their company, not attorneys, when they failed to provide what was promised. They continued to consume my time until I told them to stop contacting me and canceled my membership requesting a refund. I believe even though it's been months, the refund for the initial membership as a result of services not provided, may not have been issued yet. I will follow up to ensure that occurs but I believe they are dangerous in promising assistance that they do not provide while letting critical time pass with no assistance to the consumer.

I was with legal shield for over 20 yrs! Total waste of money don't waste your money.

Scam. Everyone, please be aware of the marketing brand of Legal Shield which is attractive but is it worth it, NO! Don't be deceived and do your research before paying monthly fees.
Recommendation: Look up Attorney Ryan Reiffert who talks about Legal Shield.”The truth about Legalshield.”

My experience with legal shield this time was totally different (worst) than the last time.

Reply from LegalShield
The ease of going through the process of getting my will done. Very efficient and it was done in a timely manner.

Reply from LegalShield
They are quick to get back to you. They answer your questions in a timely manner. Every one I have dealt with is very kind and professional. I recommend them Every chance I get. Whether or not they listen. Sometimes someone ask me where they can get a good lawyer. I say pre-paid.

I joined Legal shield to get help with my protection order and divorce case. I was told that I would get help from attorneys, and that it when I came up with $500 I would be represented by an attorney, this was a lie. A friend borrowed the money so I would not have to go to court without an attorney, but when I paid the money and received the referral to an attorney, I was informed that I had to pay $3,500 to get representation. So I've paid this money into Legal shield for nothing, I still don't have help, I am very disappointed, and I'm honestly tired of people lying to me.

Everyone I spoke to was helpful and polite. Having a lawyer available when I need is comforting.
