About Our AttorneysLegal Club Plan Attorneys contract with Legal Club to provide free and discounted legal care to its members. Plan attorneys are recruited by in-house staff and are required to meet Legal Club’s high standards before being permitted to join. Legal Club uses the Martindale Hubbell guide as a starting point for all attorney recruitment. If listed, attorneys recruited must have a BV or better rating in order to join our network. In addition, they must be in good standing with their respective state bars, maintain an office in the state in which they are domiciled and provide Legal Club with proof of liability insurance. Additionally, Legal Club sends its plan attorney list to each respective state bar and receives in return a reprimand report on every attorney in the network. This is done on a annual basis. Legal Club provides each plan attorney with a “Courtesy Rating”. This rating system, much like that used in public schools, assigns plan attorneys a grade of A, B, C or F. The plan attorney’s grade is determined through a series of telephonic professionalism checks, during which the attorney must answer a number of questions dealing with plan design, pricing, their hours of operation and overall business practice habits. Only attorneys achieving a B or Better rating are ever assigned to our members. C rated attorneys are put on probation and given a quarter to bring the grade level up, and F rated attorneys are dropped from the plan immediately. We pride ourselves on having the largest and most professional, proprietary network in the country. We do not lease our network out to any other company, do not publish the list and have contractual relationships with each attorney in the network. As such, our product maintains complete continuity in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Plan Attorneys are free to exercise their professional judgment when meeting with a plan member and are obligated to provide care ONLY when they believe it is in the member’s best interest to do so. When members join Legal Club of America, they will be assigned a plan attorney based on area of law, language spoken and location. Members can use as many attorneys as often as they like, practicing any area of law, anywhere in the country, without limitation. We are the only Legal Plan in America that will recruit new attorneys for members in the event that a remote part of the country lacks coverage for a particular need.
