“I was feeling very stressed about a situation with one of my previous employees. I had made an error regarding her end-of-the-year income document but had discussed the situation with my accountant and had rectified everything with the CRA. Nevertheless, the previous employee was challenging me and questioning me. I wanted to be respectful while also protecting myself legally. I am so impressed with the LegalShield service. My membership processed quickly and I’ve already spoken with a lawyer; he was great. It sets my mind at ease, as he told me that there was nothing for me to worry about.”

"I have a small business client which is a large electrical company in Tennessee. They reported to me that after becoming a subscriber of LegalShield's Small Business Plan and using the collections services for just the first year, they recouped literally tens of thousands of dollars. They love LegalShield, and I love what I do."

“I wanted to share my experience with LegalShield as a landlord. I recommend that all owners of rentals protect themselves and their assets through LegalShield for this reason. The tenants I had in a property caused a serious sewage backup under the house they were renting. It involved hazmat and DEQ. None of their belongings were damaged, but they threw their furniture out anyway and then went to a lawyer to sue me for damages of $24,000.00. I referred this immediately to the team at LegalShield. An attorney who was experienced in real estate rental matters reviewed the lease agreement and wrote one letter to that tenant’s lawyer. The tenants decided not to pursue their case. This was at no cost to me. Yes, I carry all the insurances for rentals, but none of it would have covered this. I am grateful for the help LegalShield gave me in this instance and for the peace of mind that it gives me every other day.”

Protecting what you’ve worked for isn't something to leave to chance. So, when major life changes occur, like a marriage or the birth of a child, it's a good idea to update your Will to reflect your current wishes. That way, you know that your loved ones will be taken care of after you pass away.

"I've been a LegalShield member for a few years. The service is awesome and it has helped me and my small business out in many ways. I love it! Most recently my law firm helped me on a case where a client refused to pay an invoice for helping them out after the recent hurricane in Texas. My provider lawyers sent out two letters, and after the 2nd certified letter we received our $5,600.00 check. Before I found LegalShield, it would have cost me this amount just to collect. This is one of many, many ways I've used LegalShield. I own a small repossession company, and I really want to help people know about this service because everyone needs it."

You’ve probably heard the word “probate” plenty of times in your life, but do you actually know what it is? Probate is the court process for handling a person’s estate after they pass away. It’s a process that can take time, add costs, and create extra work for loved ones during an already...

“For 11 years I’ve owned a large party bus company. A few weeks ago, the rear brakes on one of my buses started acting up, so I took it to a commercial shop I’d taken many vehicles to before. After looking at it, one of the mechanics gave me a quote for about $750. I agreed and gave him permission to perform repairs. Three days later, I got a call that my bus was ready. When I arrived, my bill was over $1,550!! I told the clerk I’d agreed to around $750, clerk said the mechanic discovered more worn-out parts once he was in there, and the extra $800 was for additional parts and labor. I called my provider firm right there and an attorney called me back within minutes. After I caught my attorney up on what was going on, he told me to hand my phone to the clerk. Two minutes later, the clerk gave me back my phone and told me the clerk will print me a new bill for the original quote (around $750), and explained that for them to perform additional work, labor, parts... the law states the shop would have had to call me first for approval. Without LegalShield, I would’ve paid the additional $800. Thank you EVERY time, LegalShield!”

If you recently updated your Will, you might also be wondering about your plans for your property after you pass away or become unable to manage it. It could be time to start thinking about a Living Trust.

"After having it for a few months now, I couldn't imagine working in real estate without LegalShield. Sure, I have access to corporate council, but at an extremely HIGH cost per quarter hour (tick-tock, tick-tock). Knowing I can call a lawyer for advice at any time, have contracts reviewed at no extra cost, and have LegalShield handle my personal issues as they come up (like traffic tickets or, my favorite, when my law firm sends a letter to someone that owes me money) so I can stay focused on closing business gives me peace AND helps me provide better service to my clients. Thank you, LegalShield!"
