Group legal plans will help members with routine legal challenges. They do an excellent job of resolving such issues, but there is a limit to what an ordinary attorney can do.

 

The law is a service that has many facets and specialties. People sometimes need help in areas that go above and beyond writing simple wills.

It requires asking uniquely trained lawyers to provide help, and a referral to those legal professionals is necessary. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services provides high-quality advice, but we will not hesitate to refer a Group Legal Plan member to other attorneys if that will help. Continue reading

Employees have a right to government services. Their tax dollars support public agencies but getting the benefits they need might be frustrating.
