LegalShield Announced Today That Its Affordable Legal Plans and Identity Theft Solutions Are Now Available in All 50 States Across America
Alaska Becomes The 50th State To Offer Access To Legal Protection
through LegalShield Services
ADA, Okla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LegalShield,
one of North America’s leading providers of affordable legal plans and
IDShield identity theft solution for individuals, families and small
businesses, announced today that its legal protection services are now
available in all 50 states across America. As the company enters its 45th
year of operation, it has an all-time high number of memberships that
offers easy access to justice for all.
“LegalShield’s business model connects members with a network of
accountable, responsive and dedicated law firms in all 50 states and
four Canadian provinces. We offer legal assistance for whatever people
need, as often as they need it,” said Jeff Bell, Chief Executive Officer
of LegalShield. “Moreover, the LegalShield mobile app makes for easy
access to legal resolutions, for it puts a law firm in the palm of your
hand,” continued Bell.
By all accounts, hiring a lawyer at a time of need can be a confusing
and often inefficient process, entailing the checking of lawyer
directories, searching online for legal specialists or asking friends or
family for referrals. Members of LegalShield have the distinct advantage
of having legal help available and on call. Most of LegalShield’s
services involve landlord-tenant disputes, estate planning, traffic
issues, divorce, separation, adoption, name changes and civil
litigation, often in consumer finance issues.
LegalShield was founded 45 years ago on the premise that democratizing
access to justice for all would satisfy an ever-growing need for
Americans who face significant exposure to legal and identity theft
issues, exponentially, every day. Today, LegalShield provides such
access to more than 1.6 million families and serves over 4.2 million
individuals. The company’s leading IDShield service provides identity
monitoring, and both consultation and restoration services by the
industry’s only dedicated team of licensed private investigators. In
addition, LegalShield and IDShield serve more than 141,000 businesses.
LegalShield is a subscription-based legal service which helps citizens
live free under the law. A Covered Person has toll-free telephone access
to a Provider Attorney on a 24-hour per day basis for covered legal
emergencies.
“When you think of the growing marketplace of businesses like Uber, Yelp
and PayPal, who connect consumers to a crowd of suppliers, we see
LegalShield fitting in quite the same way, as we match our members with
law firms who remain accountable to us. Like PayPal, we also provide
many helpful DIY tools for our members,” said Bell. ”The color of
justice should not be green and, in making legal help affordable, we
forged the concept of equal access to equal justice for all.”
