3 Reasons
3 Reasons to Choose LegalEASE Personal Legal Insurance
1 | Protection for your family, yourself, and your pocket book. You never know when a legal matter may affect you or your family, and there are times in life when it's a good idea to consult with an attorney. Legal issues are typically complicated and can be 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 can be time consuming and stressful. With the LegalGUARD Plan from LegalEASE |
2 | The most value available and competitive rates. 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 pocket book 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. Save on potential extensive legal fees by enrolling in the LegalGUARD plan for about $250 a year, or the average cost of one hour of legal advice. LegalEASE has been connecting people with quality local attorneys and helping them ease problems since 1971. Our process is designed to help you save time and money, and to make dealing with a legal matter less stressful. |
3 | Superior personalized service Finding the right type of attorney when a legal need arises can be one of the more stressful tasks when dealing with a legal matter. The right help can be essential. With LegalGUARD, it’s easy to choose the best attorney, because employees get assistance from specifically trained and highly qualified selection counselors who review the details of local network attorneys and help find the best source for legal advice.
