No providers selected in this model.
Included attorney work, discounted work, and court expenses are different costs. A document tool or short consultation is not full representation. Public summaries do not replace your contract.
Looking for forms rather than attorney representation? Explore US Legal Forms, a document subscription. We may earn a commission if you purchase through this link. Compare available official forms first, and arrange separate legal advice when needed.
Included services are not all-inclusive bills
LegalShield: Benefits are not limited to discounted work: Advanced and Premium list qualifying uncontested-divorce assistance after 180 days. Named-member, agreement, asset, and state conditions apply; New York requires discounted hourly payment. Contested work needs a separate paid engagement. Confirm the actual task, state contract, and quote. Source: benefit comparison · FAQ.
Rocket Lawyer: The current pricing table distinguishes written attorney questions and live calls by membership tier, with Legal Advice Sessions priced separately in the listed tiers. AI contract review appears in a different category. Ask which service you are buying and whether it includes an attorney reviewing your document or taking responsibility for further work. Source: tier comparison.
LegalZoom: Section 2 of the public Legal Plan Contract describes consultations of up to 30 minutes for each new matter and review of one document up to 10 pages per new matter per plan group. Other legal services can be billed at discounted firm rates; an unaffiliated attorney is at the member's expense. Exclusions still apply. Source: contract, sections 2 and 4.
MetLife: The FAQ describes covered network attorney fees for covered services, but excludes filing fees, costs, and fines. It directs members to their organization's list of fully covered services. Confirm your actual benefit before assuming any listed subject includes every stage or expense. Source: FAQ and exclusions.
The LegalShield representation description and US Legal Forms forms-only boundary were rechecked October 16, 2026. The Rocket Lawyer, LegalZoom, and MetLife examples in this section were checked October 9, 2026. Other dated and employer-specific examples retain their stated scope; this is not a review of every member's contract.
