LEGAL PLANS

Family Protection PlanFor as little as $14.00 a month, you can have access to a nationwide network of professionals for all your professional needs. Did you know that every year 1 in 2 families will require the services of an attorney? In many instances, legal issues are precipitated by other personal and professional challenges in one’s life. Mounting debt, tax season, substance abuse, stress on the job, or a personal crisis may be the catalyst for legal assistance. To help address these multiple needs, Legal Club created the Family Protection Plan. The plan provides members with access to a network of pre-qualified professionals in each of these major areas:
Benefit FeaturesLegal Club of America’s Family Legal Plan anchors the Family Protection Plan. Legal Club is a discount legal referral service with a nationwide network of plan attorneys who provide free and discounted legal care for over 1 million families. Membership includes you, your spouse or domestic partner, dependent children under the age of 25 and any dependents that may be living with you, such as a parent or grandparent. Legal CareFree Legal Services:*The following nine (9) services are available at no charge from your plan attorney.
*In many states, Attorney liability may require Plan Attorneys to obtain a retainer from the member prior to providing some of the free member benefits. Deeply Discounted Legal Services:**The following are eight (8) commonly used legal services for which plan attorneys have agreed to charge a one-time, deeply discounted fee.
**Court costs, filing fees and time charged for travel to and from any courts are additional. Detailed Legal Services Definitions can be found in Section 3 of the Plan Guidebook. Guaranteed Low Hourly Rate:Plan attorneys have contracted to charge no more than $125.00 per hour, or 40% off their usual and customary hourly rate, whichever is greater, for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services described above. Retainers:In the case of extended legal care, plan attorneys may ask you for a retainer. Any retainer sought will be computed by multiplying the number of hours a plan attorney believes a case will take, by the plan’s discounted hourly rate. For instance; 10 hours x $125.00 = a retainer of $1,250.00. Any unused portion of the retainer will be returned to you Contingency Fee Discounts:The contingency fee discount will be a 10% reduction of the state maximum rate or the attorney's usual rate, whichever is lower.
