“We had a ‘prompt paying’ client that, on the last month of a six-month, $1100.00/month contract failed to pay and stopped answering our calls. He just ignored our invoices. We drove by his old address and found no relief. We purchased a Business Plan with LegalShield and sent our documentation to our Provider Law firm. On the morning of the fourth day after a demand Letter was sent by the firm, we found a cashier’s check in our mailbox for the entire debt. That collection paid for our membership for many years. The peace of mind (which continues today) is priceless.”

“We originally subscribed to LegalShield with the intention of getting our Wills done. We never realized how having lawyers to refer to as often as we wanted would help us out. We work on a contract basis in the film industry, and we sign a new contract on every show — a contract that is thoroughly reviewed by lawyers who represent the big companies, not us. Now, having lawyers of our own, and a second set of eyes on every contract, we have so much more confidence in negotiating. Recently, we were successful in collecting an unpaid bill from a production company totaling into the thousands. It was a situation we never would have pursued, let alone, won without the legal clout and support of our lawyers; in fact, in the past, we likely would have let that one go since we had no real ability to fight back. We realize now how often we operated from a position of weakness before we had the strength and knowledge of a whole law firm behind us. Thank you, LegalShield.”

“I was feeling very stressed about a situation with one of my previous employees. I had made an error regarding her end-of-the-year income document but had discussed the situation with my accountant and had rectified everything with the CRA. Nevertheless, the previous employee was challenging me and questioning me. I wanted to be respectful while also protecting myself legally. I am so impressed with the LegalShield service. My membership processed quickly and I’ve already spoken with a lawyer; he was great. It sets my mind at ease, as he told me that there was nothing for me to worry about.”

"I was really impressed with the quality of attention and service I received through LegalShield. I had a specific concern regarding a business contract and after my designated lawyer followed up with me and realized the contract was bound by New York laws, they promptly put me in touch with a representative in NY. The NY attorney reached out to me, and we were able to discuss and resolve my concerns with the matter. Though this was the first time I had used LegalShield, I felt that everyone I communicated with was patient, accessible and attentive to my needs. As a business owner, I would recommend using LegalShield."

“I work in the social media world helping brands promote their products using social media influencers. I was working with a company on a large project and has a signed contract stating that at the end of the term, my payment would be over $10,000. After the project concluded, the company decided to stop responding to emails and phone calls regarding payment. I had to pay influencers for their work as well as other expenses and it was getting stressful. I called my provider law firm and explained to an attorney what was going on. Within 2 days she’d sent a letter to the company on my behalf demanding payment and a couple of days later the company apologized and sent the payment. It cost me nothing more than my monthly subscription. Thanks, LegalShield.”

"LegalShield is a great service. This is an incredible tool for a new business owner. We just launched a new company, and instead of paying $10k in attorney fees, we subscribed to LegalShield, found documents online, and reviewed them with the team. Their lawyers went through each one of our contracts line by line to make sure they were sound. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!"
