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 was told my Will was mailed early…

I was told my Will was mailed early April, I did not receive it or my POA. I called again and was told it was mailed out a certain date, still have not seen it. It is 4/28 and I have talked to a few people on the phone. For the first time in 20 years of being a client, I can say I am so frustration with the lack of resolve that I have to write this. I am constantly promoting LegalShield yet now I am not sure what has happened to the stellar service I always received. PS. I am still waiting for my Will/POA and very concerned. This is very time consuming and I have to work everyday.
