How does the plan work?
The right help when you need it the most.
Finding the right type of attorney when a need arises can be one of the more stressful tasks when dealing with a legal matter. The right help is essential. There are many types of attorneys depending upon what type of issue someone may be facing. We help with this first step. We use our experience and relationships with our network providers to match you to the right type of attorney you need in the right location, with availability to set up a consultation with you. We see this step as a way to save you time, so you can get back to your busy schedule of work, kids or what may be just as important. This step alone can save you hours. If you use an in-network attorney, you don’t have to hassle with forms. LegalEASE works directly with the in-network provider to provide your benefits.
We also always follow up to ensure everything is going well and to see how else we can be of assistance. We believe that quality service is essential, especially in a world today where quality service can be scarce. So if you have a legal question or matter give us a call. It’s that easy. We guide you through the steps and be right with you the entire way.

Why do you need legal coverage?
Never have to worry if it's worth calling an attorney ever again.
You never know when a legal matter may affect you or your family, and there are times in life when it is a good idea to consult an attorney. Legal issues are complicated and disorienting. As many as 7 out of 10 of people you know will have the need for an attorney this year, according to the American Bar Association. This means that each year, only 30% of us will be lucky enough not to deal with the stress of a legal issue. And without the right help, legal matters are tough. Without legal benefits, issues can average anywhere from $500.00 to $7,000.00 per issue. The LegalGUARD Plan helps protect you, your family and your savings from unexpected legal costs for many issues.
We understand that when you have a legal need, it is the most important event in your life at that moment. We also know that finding the right attorney on your own can be stressful and dominate much of your time and attention. Protect yourself and your family with the great value of the LegalGUARD Plan. We have been putting people in touch with quality local attorneys and helping them solve problems since 1971. Our processes are designed to help you save time and to make things less stressful. Also, the providers in our network must meet the most rigorous credentials standards in the market today.
