Contingency Fee and Other Legal ServicesContingency Fee Services (Personal injury claim review and evaluation/recommendations) If your Provider Lawyer agrees you have a case worthy of pursuing, he or she will be paid only a percentage of what you ultimately collect. We often hear of people who win a lawsuit but walk away with virtually nothing because the award is eaten up by lawyer fees. This scenario will not happen to you as a Pre-Paid Legal member. Your Provider Lawyer fees will not exceed 25% in a personal injury case.
Your Provider Lawyer will render assistance at a 25% reduction to his or her standard hourly rate* for you or your spouse should you need legal services not covered by this plan. A retainer may be required for services being rendered under this benefit. Five days are required for preparation for court representation. *Hourly rates for Referral Lawyers and court appearances may vary.
The Legal Shield provides you with 24-hour toll-free access to legal assistance in the event you are arrested or detained. The Legal Shield is easy to use and something no one should be without. A quick call to the toll-free number puts you in touch with the Pre-Paid Legal Corporate Office who will then put you in contact with your Provider Law Firm.
