A SOLUTION

The solution is a subscription business model in which a middle man exists between the law firm and the would-be client. The middle man pays the law firm the retainer and hourly charges the client could otherwise not afford. Our legal support partner is 20-year company that has built a fund from which legal fees are advanced to its member law firms throughout the U.S. and Canada. Clients then need only pay a flat monthly fee to access their in-state law firm on demand as needed.

FAQs

• Will the membership really cover my specific legal issue?
  Personal Plans cover most personal legal issues. Most day-to-day legal issues are covered by the standard member benefits with no additional fees. If your specific personal legal need is more unique and requires additional legal assistance beyond the standard benefits, your provider law firm can help you at a discount off their standard hourly rates. But be aware that our provider law firms do not assist with international, military and tribal law.
• Does membership cover pre-existing situations?
  Most pre-existing situations can receive consultation and a discount from the provider law firm’s standard hourly rate. There are exclusions and exceptions, but your provider law firm can provide advice and possibly more on most pre-existing situations. Current exclusions and exceptions include: 1) any civil action, motor vehicle tickets or charges relating to an event that happened before starting your membership, or 2) any IRS inquiry, investigation, or notice received before the start of your membership.
