There is a member testimonial page up on the Pre-Paid Legal, now LegalShield website. There are stories and first hand accounts from members who actually use the Pre-Paid Legal Services, for all sorts of issues, and it will make you grin when you think of how many times people say "I don't need a lawyer; I haven't done anything wrong, and I don't plan on it..."
A brief letter below from the founder of Pre-Paid Legal, Harland Stonecipher:
“In our society today, it is better to be guilty and rich than to be innocent and poor.”That comment was made to the world during a feature on the ABC program, Nightline. It is a statement that is as true as it is disappointing. The fact is “Equal Justice Under Law” is just not true. In actuality, such equality has been available only to those who could afford it. The purpose of this collection of letters is to showcase the solution.
Reading these letters, you will learn through several firsthand accounts how our members have utilized our product. You’ll read how they saved themselves and their families time, money, and stress. Many of the stories include dramatic recounts of the circumstances surrounding their legal situation, while others simply illustrate the value of having legal advice a phone call away no matter how seemingly trivial the topic might be.
We know the wealthiest 10 percent of the population keep their own legal teams on retainer. Conversely, the bottom 10 percent are provided access to the public defender system. It is our goal to make sure the 80 percent in between have a legal voice, and that “Equal Justice Under Law” is a reality for them also!
