Take it from me, I was a member for over a year. Total scam and waste of money. These attorneys do not want to help you, your case will not be a priority to them. This is lawyers marketing you to other lawyers at a "discounted" rate to them, and everyone of them knows it. You can get the "Perks Spot" service without the legal shield BS, just go to PerksSpot.com and get all sorts of entry level discounts to services you will not use (mostly online food boxes and junk ADT security offers) as they make you pay for the ability to market junk straight to your inbox. If you ever need to use the service, good luck. Because you wont have any. These lawyers know that whatever work that they do for you through this service is so discounted that they try and coax you into doing whatever is the least amount of work for them. This is the Groupon of legal assistance, and it is terrible. Oh, and if you do sign up - do not ever expect to be able to cancel your account. (as Misty the ****'ed off phone hag states) YOU CAN NOT CANCEL ONLINE. YOU CAN NOT CANCEL BY EMAIL. YOU CAN NOT CANCEL ON ANY WEBSITE (including theirs). and, YOU CAN NOT CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT OVER THE PHONE, EITHER. THE ONLY WAY TO CANCEL - you must send them a hand written letter via snail mail - THAT THEY MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THEY RECEIVED (spoiler alert, they will not acknowledge that they received your letter and just keep billing your credit card, **even if you send the second one return receipt requested like I did**, hoping you don't catch wise for a few months) AND you never get any assurance that your credit card information is removed, or that any of your sensitive information is secure from that point going forward - that is, if they even remove you at all. read more

Absolute waste of time/money. For 2 months I ve been trying to get an attorney to draft a contract and have been referred back and forth, only to wait, for weeks, for an "engagement letter" I needed to sign. Not worth it. read more

If you feel like getting thrown through the ringer... go ahead and sign up. Google could help with questions without the expense... they'll use their lawyer skills to make it hard to cancel service, and have salesmen on the cancellation side that persuade you to stay...NEVER AGAIN! Buyer Beware read more

CAREFUL! I have been member for 3 years, the service for consultation was never good, but now that I needed an attorney there was no body to help me, they practically avoided me, wasted my time that I end up going by myself to the court for something insignificant. read more

Total scam, don't use this service. Promises are cheap. False advertising all the way. You pay them a fee to get Marketed too, in order to sell more service. Really, I am paying for this? Scam Scam Scam. If you call the 800 number, you are promised one touch service. When you call Misty, the Customer "dis-service" representative you get offered a phone number of an attorney that wants to charge you at a "discount, Total scam. Proves attorneys ARE the problem, bottom feeders to be sure. Scam, Scam, Scam. Dont pay for this scam, by, you guessed it,,,attorneys. read more

Horrible Service. It was a complete Ripoff. If you need legal services you'll have to look for an actual attorney because legal shield only helps taking your money that's it!! read more

YEARS!!!!! I have tried to cancel they will not cancel you I am trying again to have my husband cancel . Although the money is pulled out of my bacnk account I have no say so in it being cancelled. My husband has ro EMAIL is what hey said . I have tried to cancel MANY times verbally and apparently that is not sufficient enough. All I'm doing is paying a monthly fee for NOTHING . The one time I called for "Legal Advice" the "lawyer" was very rude and very unhelpful. And pretty much made feel stupid for asking a VALID LEGAL question that obviously I did not know because I did not go to LAW SCHOOL! That is why I thought I was PAYING them to do!!!!!!TOTAL SCAM!!!!!! read more

LegalShield won't allow for written communications, it's all verbal, all smoke and mirrors. I was told they don't issue written communications due to liability reasons. If they are issuing LEGAL advice, written communications is exactly what I need, not verbal communication that can be skewed. I am going to cancel my service. read more

If I could give -5 stars I would. This company needs to be shut down by the bar association, not such how they are getting away with this service. My list is so long and my frustration is so high, are these really attorney's or a scam. read more

I would give zero star if that was available. Paid this company for several years and never asked for anything in return. When I did reach out for business counsel (I had a business account), two times they were useless and had nothing but excuses, and once I never even spoke to anyone. Needless to say, every single time that my business needed legal help I had to seek assistance from more reliable and capable sources. Don't waste your money or time on this. read more

Horrible experience. Used the business membership, needed a lawyer to execute a "letter" on my behalf on a time sensitive issue. WHICH I STATED MANY TIMES. Just to get the letter done and it's review to send it took over 30 days on a real estate specific performance issue. Legal Shield used a bogus legal firm called DSK to handle my issue. Everytime someone from DSK would call it was someone different who had NO CLUE about what the complaint was about, I was rudely insulted by a lawyer last name Haygood. I reported the rude behavior an the Legal Shield complaint department is a bigger joke. I had to deal with that rude lawyer several times after that. Their 25% off regular legal fees is not the biggest discount, as the lawyers already have the Legal Shield fees set at a higher rate.... conclusion you really don't see any savings at all. After this legal matter I mixed in is done, they better hope the outcome is good or I will copy and paste this review across every review platform I can find! read more

I am writing this review for Mr. Michael Cabradilla,  Regional director  in Legalshield,   greeted me because I am a new member with Legalshield. Over the conversation, he explained to me what my benefits are and what kind of  services I can use from.  He also taught me the right questions to ask when the attorney assigned me for consultation.  Michael is very informative, friendly, enthusiastic, professional and patient.  Well done, Michael!  You are definitely a valuable asset to your company! read more

if you can do research on google you do not need to pay for this service. when you call for advice their attorneys have no more knowledge than what you can find yourself on the internet. they offer nothing whatsoever but simply are a legal scam. read more

Complete scam. I received a fraudulent charge of over one hundred dollars on my credit card that I had not authorized. I am disputing the charge. I read the other reviews on this website and I am not the only one who thinks it's a scam. read more

I would give them a 0 rating if I could. someone was able to purchase an iphone using my name and social security number and this was identify theft and I had a security freeze on all my credit agencies and no one caught this. I caught it myself with no alerts at all from legalshield. 20.00 a month I paid and all for nothing. they did notthing but apologize for the oversight. do not use them. it is a waste of money read more

RIP OFF ALERT Yes I said it. Don't let the hype of needing someone who knows the law fool you into paying for something you don't need. In my Experience they appointed a firm that made me feel as though my case was unimportant, and not worth their time. I have always represented myself with good results, and that's what I should have done. it's not that hard. its just Knowledge, and time. Basically, if you know the law or can find out. which you can for free, you can defend yourself. These guys are just like doctors, or the government, they think we are too simple minded and stupid to know or figure out what to do, but they also think that we are so stupid and that we wont see them ripping us off. Anyways, I Paid for a full year of service, toward the end of the first year. I found out real quickly what kind of firm they had appointed me. It was a total dissapointment considering my case must have not been worth their time. They ran me through all the hoops and then went silent. I waited months then all of a sudden, Legal shield renews my subscription without my consent. and still after the renewal the firm still paid no attention to my case. Once I realized they took my money and the appointed firm still failed to render any services at all. I called to cancel my subscription, requesting a full refund since they renewed without my permission, but mainly because the firm they appointed me wasn't worth the Entire years membership fees. Well I just got my refund back after 2 weeks and they prorated the fees just as I expected. I'm going to do some math and see how much they are steeling from me considering I canceled 1 month after the renewal. they issued a 382.00 check out of 468.00, when you divide the fee by 12 it becomes obvious that This legal service is not only a rip off, but they are also desperate. Don't waste your time, Read a companies reviews across unbiased platforms like yelp. I run a company and know the importance of reviews especially the negative ones. The Question is - How do you really know they aren't making up all their positive reviews? The negative ones say it all, and its easy to weed out those flat out unreasonable negative nancy's. from those that actually have a legitimate complaint. read more
