Plus the best when it comes to Identity Theft protection A LegalShield Legal plans give members access to professional legal counsel not only for trivial legal problems, but for the traumatic ones, like everyday events such as buying a house or a car, creating a will, handling a problem with an insurance company, dealing with identity theft, and much more where legal review should be routine, but rarely is. These events can be among the most important events in a person's life, yet there is a tendency for them to take place without proper legal review. For our members, access to legal counsel is only a toll-free phone call away. We offer our legal plans to families, small business owners, and to employees of companys as a voluntary benefit through payroll deduction added as an enhancement to their compensation benefits package. In addition, we offer a superior Identity Theft product, which in combination with our legal plan creates a wall of security that is unsurpassed in the industry to fight the growing issue of identity theft. In accordance with federal laws affecting employers, we also provide our clients with an option to enroll in a Premium Identity Theft Plan. Contact me by email or through the website.
