Trial Defense Supplements
Stress less with extra trial time
Trials can be expensive. LegalShield offers a supplement to your legal plan providing more trial coverage in the event that additional attorney time is necessary.
What’s included in your Personal Plan Supplements:
Advice, Consultation, and Research
Receive advice and consultation on business legal matters related to your home business, plus 1 hour of research on each matter as needed.**
**This does not include business legal matters covered under designated consultations. Certain business legal matters are not covered.
Designated Consultation
A provider lawyer will advise you on business legal matters including tax, patent, trademark, copyright, or antitrust. Receive up to 3 annual designated phone consultations each year, of up to 30 minutes in length.*
Letters or Phone Calls
A provider lawyer can provide further help with business legal matters by sending letters or making phone calls on behalf of your home business. Receive any combination of 12 letters or phone calls annually for both in state and out of state business legal matters, each on a unique business matter, with 1 follow-up communication if a response is received from a third party.
(Additional letters or phone calls, beyond the plan limit, can be obtained for a $75 flat rate each.)
Document Review
Contracts and other business legal documents can be complicated and may include language that is not in your best interest. A provider lawyer can review business legal documents. Every month, you can submit up to 4 documents of up to 25 pages in length pertaining to both in and out-of-state business legal matters.
(If you need more than four documents per month, a flat rate of $75 for each additional review applies.)
*Doesn’t include documents that are related to administrative proceedings and lawsuits.
Collection Letters
Late-paying clients are an unavoidable part of business. A provider law firm can help collect money that’s owed by writing collection letters, up to 4 per month for both in and out-of-state matters. (For additional letters, a flat rate of $75 each applies.)
IRS Audit Legal Services
With a Home Business Supplement, you receive IRS Audit Legal Services for help with items included on Schedules C and E of your personal federal income tax return. Business entity tax returns are not included.
Interstate Services
Receive help with out of state business legal matters including consultation, document review, collection letters, and letters or phone calls.
25% Preferred Member Discount
For additional legal services not outlined in the member contract, you may receive a 25% discount from your provider law firm’s standard hourly rate. Your provider lawyer will review these fees prior to engagement.
Residential Leasing
Do you lease up to 10 residential properties? LegalShield’s Home Business Supplement helps alleviate guess work and headaches that stem from landlord-tenant issues. (Does not cover commercial property leases such as high-rise, offices, retail/restaurant, multifamily complexes, etc.)
