So often I’m told, I don’t need a lawyer – all my friends are lawyers.  They all owe me big time so all I have to do is call one of them.  Yesterday, a lady told me that her sister’s firm did all of her documents to set her up in business, at no cost – no, she doesn’t think she needs a lawyer or will need a lawyer.  And if she does, she’ll just call his sister’s firm.

Are you going to call a friend, who is a lawyer, or your sister’s lawyer, any time you need advice regarding a legal issue.  Do you think that lawyer is going to handle all of your requests for advice at no cost?  Hardly.  The average attorney, starting out, makes at least $200 an hour.  With experience, the hourly rate exceeds $200 an hour.

If YOU were my attorney, how much would you charge per month for:

Provide me with an 800 number to call you Toll Free within normal business hours.
Toll-free telephone consultations on unlimited matters for personal or business questions? $__________
Letters/phone calls on my behalf, plus 2 business letters or call per year $__________
Contract / document review on my behalf (up to 10 pages).  Plus one business document review per year. $__________
Prepare my will and update it yearly as needed.  Also provide a living will at no additional cost. $__________
Representation for moving traffic violations.(Motor vehicle legal services are available 15 days after enrollment.) $__________
PLUS – many, many other types of available services
24-hour, toll-free access to legal consultation, if

  • I am arrested or detained.
  • I am seriously injured.
  • The state tries to take my child(ren).
  • I am served with a warrant.

I want to have access to an attorney in all 50 states. $__________
CHARGE ME A FLAT FEE PER MONTH TO PROVIDE THESE LEGAL SERVICES FOR ME, MY SPOUSE AND MY CHILDREN TOTAL MONTHLY FEE$__________

As a member of Pre-Paid Legal, you can have all the above for as little as $18 per month for a standard plan or $26 per month for an extended plan.  If you want to include your business, it would be additional $16 a month.  You know who to call when you need advice, you get a return phone call within six hours (usually in less than an hour) and the attorney has 20+ years of experience.  Doesn’t it make sense to become a member of Pre-Paid Legal!
