Testimonials
LegalShield & IDShield Membership Testimonials
The lawyer who spoke with me was extremely helpful. She answered all my questions, made sure I knew where to complete the Will forms online, and called me to confirm information to complete our forms. The completed Will, Power of Attorney, and Directive to Physicians were completed and back to us within a week. We were pleased and would highly recommend your services.
It is so great to have help during a terrible situation. I feel very confident that we did the right thing when we purchased a legal plan so many years ago. Thank you.
I am so grateful to be able to consult with an attorney about any legal matter. My phone consultation was beneficial and informative. It helped me make my decision on what to do about a situation.
It's a huge comfort knowing I can call my provider lawyer and ask for legal help without worrying about the cost each time.

The total cost depends on factors such as the area of law, your geographic location, and your lawyer’s hourly rate.
