“Dear friend who canceled your LegalShield membership 6 months ago: Don’t come ask me to give you free legal advice about the will you are trying to sort out. You were paying less than $30/month to ask the attorneys that question, plus advise you on an unlimited number of other legal issues, provide IRS audit coverage, representation for moving traffic violations, give 24/7 emergency access and more, and more, and more. There is a reason that even though I’m an attorney I maintain my membership and use it - it is far cheaper for me to call my LegalShield law firm than do my own legal research. This month they researched and advised me on a copyright infringement issue — my bill for that service was $0. Month-to-month membership fee $29.95. You know where to find me.”

"I turned right on a green in the middle of the desert with not much around, when the car in front of me and I were both pulled over by a police car. I could see the driver in front of me was a young girl, and with my ponytail, tank top and sunglasses, I likely looked much younger than I was. The officer approached my car, asked for license and registration, then said I made an illegal turn. I handed him what he'd asked for and respectfully said the light was green when we all turned. Then, his eyes travel to my chest! I fumed inside, but remained calm as he went to speak to the girl. I pulled out my phone and my LegalShield app ... but didn’t place the call yet. I could see the girl's face in her side-view mirror, but couldn't hear them. Cop came back to my window and AGAIN stared at my chest, so ... I asked, 'Sir, are you looking at my chest?'. He fumbled for words (said his eyes were bad) and put on sunglasses. At that point, I showed him my phone app with the red emergency button ready to tap. Calmly, I said, 'You pulled us over in the middle of nowhere for turning right on a green, which is a legal turn, stared at my chest when addressing me and can't provide a legitimate reason for our detainment. Let us go, or I'm calling my lawyers now and you can explain to them why we are pulled over.' He made an excuse but let us both go. I believe 99% of police officers are good people doing a good job, but I also believe every mom, wife and daughter and every person of color should have LegalShield for the 1% who might not be."
