Attorney-Client Relationship
All attorneys are subject to the authority of the State Supreme Court and the State Bar of the state where they are licensed to practice. The Member’s relationship with an attorney is privileged and strictly confidential. We will not interfere in the attorney-client relationship, nor in the attorney’s independent exercise of his or her professional judgment. Attorneys are not certified specialists.
The Member shall authorize the Participating Attorney to provide the Legal Plan Administrator with information and supporting documentation on the number and type of services provided to the Member.
By using legal services benefits that are provided under the Contract, the Members agree that neither We, nor the Contractholder, nor any other person involved in the marketing or administration of the Contract, shall have any liability for the acts, errors or omissions of an attorney providing services, in whole or in part, under the Contract.
Legal Terminology
The Member or Covered Family Member may call the Member Service Center to obtain a definition or explanation of any term used herein.
Refund Provision
In the event that the payment mode is other than monthly and the group contract is terminated or the Member elects to terminate the coverage, a pro-rata refund will be made in accordance with the laws of the Contractholder’s state.
Termination and Cancellation of Coverage
Coverage provided to the Member shall terminate upon the first of the following to occur:
a. Cancellation or termination of this Contract;
b. If applicable, the Member fails to re-enroll;

The Participating Attorney shall not be obligated to provide any benefits under the Contract and any further legal services shall be based upon an independent and separate fee agreement entered into, if at all, between the former Member and/or Covered Family Member and the attorney. If such an agreement is not entered into, then the Participating Attorney may withdraw from any further representation in accordance with applicable law and State Bar standards.
