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.

It started with Ms. Dawn Brinkley—her knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine belief in the product were key reasons I decided to give it a try. From the intuitive ease of using the app to the professionalism and support provided by everyone at the law firm, my experience so far has been excellent.

The fact that I got a call late made my day. I’m usually trying to juggle these calls with my busy work and we end up playing phone tag. Attorney was helpful.

The legal team is excellent--lawyer Rachel Rajeski did an extremely though and professional job. High stars for the prompt response and your intake coordinator was pleasant and listened very well.

My experience was great with one exception. The provider attorney who assisted me ended up giving me to an attorney who was more familiar with my issue after the company I was having an issue with didn’t really seem to be understanding. The next attorney knew a lot more about this company in particular and how the basics of companies as such work. And gave me slot more information and confidence in how to proceed. Which in (2) days the company replied fair and positive. As a veteran legal shield client. We should always have a provider who knows exactly about the issue at hand and not a provider who just writes a letter based on the general knowledge of right and wrong.

Great experience with great service. No further comments needed.

I had an exceptional experience speaking with my LegalShield lawyer regarding a family matter. I was initially bracing for a costly and rigid Supreme Court process, but the lawyer provided immediate relief by advising that my matter could be handled through Provincial Court. This not only saved me significant legal fees but also bypassed the frustrating scheduling bottlenecks I had encountered with the Supreme Court registry.
The lawyer was incredibly efficient, reviewing my documents quickly and giving me the confidence I needed to move forward. Her expertise turned a stressful, month-long delay into a clear and manageable plan of action. I highly recommend this service for anyone looking for knowledgeable and responsive legal support.

Brian Maynor made a great impression. He called back in a timely manner, he listened and gave me advice on how to proceed with the research on the case. Then he assured that after the documents I send in are analyze, and if there is enough evidence to get a lawyer involved then legal shield will connect me with one at my expense @ an discounted rate. I also think the price to get expert advice is reasonable .

I have worked with 3 attorneys and all have been very effective and the process was smooth.

I needed advice and received it. Did not pursue acting on the issue immediately.

I value the communication system its nice to see the progress as it happens in real time

Reply from LegalShield
We called close to the end of the business day and They provided an immediate platform (call center) to listen to and field my concern and issue. We were called by the attorney the next day (less than 24 hours).
After legal advice was given we were emailed case work that helped us understand our legal position even better.
It was extremely important to us to be able to just pick up the phone and get an answer as soon as we did so that we knew our legal rights and know what direction to go. We’ve been Legal Shield customers for years and it’s one investment we are glad we make each month. Through the years we have never been disappointed and they have always given stellar support and legal advice.

Not what i expected--- basically just gives advice, I can ask Chat GPT for that. Waste of money.

I needed to asked a question from a attorney they answered my questions satisfied with answers

I was expecting to speak to an attorney regarding my matter, but instead spoke to an advocate for a non-profit organization.

Reply from LegalShield
It was ok. I got to talk with an attorney but I got the feeling he was disinterested. He also gave me conflicting advice from a prior attorney. So, I wasn’t sure who had the right information. It didn’t really help with my situation, this attorney seemed very doom and gloom and made my anxiety worse. I didn’t feel like he wanted to help with my issue. That’s my experience- maybe others have had better.
Trying to cancel has been cumbersome so I guess I would not recommend their services.

When reviewing documents it would be helpful for the attorney to understand who the client is by asking some key questions.
