Member Experiences
Real Stories. Real Protection.
LegalShield members across the country share what it means to have an attorney in their corner.
"I have been avoiding getting my Will done because it was just overwhelming. LegalShield and the Provider Lawyer they connected me with made the process so user-friendly and speedy. I can't believe I waited so long when it was so quick and easy!"
"I don't know how I lived so long without IDShield. When I got 14 alerts for credit and public records, I was able to call in and get assistance. I love IDShield — no one should be without it. I have peace of mind knowing they're looking out for me while I'm living life."
"You've given excellent service with kindness and empathy for what my family is currently having to deal with. In times of heartache, the service was very helpful and the firm was extremely compassionate. Thank you."
"Before talking with our Provider Attorney we thought all that LegalShield claimed to offer was too good to be true… but it is true! We've already had our Wills completed and one other legal matter handled by their great legal team and at no extra cost!"
"I always recommend LegalShield to all my friends and family. The Provider Law Firm always returns my calls in a timely manner and provides awesome service. I'm truly happy with LegalShield's services!"
Testimonials are from LegalShield members who may also be LegalShield independent associates. An associate is an independent contractor. The outcome and experience of any individual member will vary dependent on the facts and applicable law.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a will really included in every LegalShield plan?
Yes — every plan includes a professionally drafted will for you and your spouse, prepared by a licensed attorney in your state. The Basic plan includes the initial will (updates available at a 15% discount). Preferred and Premium plans include free annual updates to your will, plus a Living Will / Physician's Directive with annual updates as well.
What is the difference between the Basic, Preferred, and Premium plans?
All three plans include unlimited consultations, 24/7 emergency access, your will, Power of Attorney, and MEMBERPerks discounts. Preferred adds coverage for children, annual will updates, Living Will, uncontested divorce, prenuptial agreements, mortgage and lease document review, IRS audit assistance, and more. Premium adds a Revocable Living Trust option, simplified probate, motor vehicle criminal defense, death-related traffic charge defense, IRS audit representation, and unlimited notarizations.
How quickly can I speak with an attorney?
You can typically connect with a provider attorney the same or next business day. For covered emergencies, 24/7 access is available — any hour, any day of the year. You can also submit requests and upload documents directly through the LegalShield app.
How does the traffic ticket defense work?
Your provider attorney will advise you on your options and represent you as needed. Basic members get 1 ticket per year (available after 90 days), Preferred members get 2 per year, and Premium members get 3 per year. Unused tickets on Preferred and Premium plans roll over. A $79 fee applies each time the Provider Law Firm is required to make a court appearance.
Are there waiting periods for any services?
Most services are available immediately or within 10–90 days. Services like uncontested divorce, prenuptial agreements, and adoption assistance require 180 days of membership. Traffic ticket assistance is available after 10 days on Preferred and Premium (90 days on Basic). These waiting periods help keep membership costs fair for everyone.
Can I add LegalShield to my employee benefits package?
Absolutely. Hopkins Financial can help you offer LegalShield as a voluntary or employer-paid group benefit. It's a meaningful, low-cost perk that helps employees resolve legal issues without losing focus at work — and it supports retention and overall wellbeing. Contact us to learn about group enrollment options.
What is IDShield and do I need it with my legal plan?
IDShield is LegalShield's identity theft protection service, starting at $14.95/month. It monitors your personal information across the dark web, social media, credit bureaus, and financial accounts — and if your identity is stolen, a team of Licensed Private Investigators restores it completely (Unlimited Service Guarantee). Pairing it with your legal plan adds free one-on-one credit counseling education. The Legal & Identity Bundle starts at $44.90/month.
How does LegalShield compare to just calling a lawyer myself?
Attorneys in the U.S. charge $150–$400 per hour on average. With LegalShield, you pay one flat monthly rate for ongoing access — unlimited consultations, document review, attorney letters, your will, and more. Using the plan just once for a lease review or a traffic ticket can pay for months of membership.
