Legal Services Plans
What Are They?

Prepaid Legal Service
Over 85 million Americans belong to prepaid legal service plans, most of
whom are middle class people who would otherwise not seek the services of
an attorney. Legal service plans help members prevent legal problems
before they occur. A lawyer can review a document or contract before you
sign it. Or you can consult with an attorney before suing a merchant or
landlord.
Prepaid legal service plans are often described as legal insurance plans.
The typical plan provides consumers with certain specific legal services
at no cost, and reduced rates for other legal services in exchange for a
membership fee, premium, or some other sort of prepayment. |
