Pre-paid legal plans market various legal service products and plans for owners of small businesses, commercial truck drivers, law enforcement professionals and employers under one policy for a low monthly fee. Prepaid legal plans are a beneficial offering to businesses with an ongoing need for legal services such as contract review, legal document review, consultation, correspondence and debt collection. The predetermined monthly cost makes basic legal expenses and business planning predictable, easier on the budget, and can be more cost-effective versus paying attorneys on a case-by-case basis.
Pre-paid Legal Services are to attorney fees what prepaid medical plans are to doctor and hospital bills. The design of the services and plans help middle-income Americans get quality legal assistance without first having to make a financial decision that could end up being an unexpected and sometimes major financial set-back.
A network of respected Provider Law Firms has been established from across the country. Each Provider Law Firm has been pre-screened and selected after extensive investigation. The performance of each law firm is also carefully monitored.
These plans make legal services available through a network of independent lawyers who are paid on a per-capita basis under contract with the Pre Paid Legal Services company. Once a person signs up and begins paying the low monthly fee, they exercise their benefits by calling a Provider Law Firm directly whenever they have a legal need and as often as they like. Most of the business can be conducted via fax, phone or mail so there is no need to worry about not living near the city even if the Provider Law Firm is located there.
