I started my plan with Pre Paid Legal and then decided after reading on line how they are a scam I cancelled my plan. I figured that I paid 35.00 dollars so today I called to ask a legal question. Since they already had my cancellation on my account they would not even answer a question. I told them I paid 35.00 dollars already aren't I entilled to one question to be answered by one of your lawyers? The answer was no you have a cancellation on your acount, if you want a question answered you would have to clear the cancellation. I thought this was ridiculas since I already paid the one month fee, so basically I paid for nothing for the whole month!!!! That is out of control. Since I had this conversation with Pre Paid Legal I will not use them as I can see they will not be there when you need them unless you pay more money.

Hmm. this isn't "roll over minutes". Looks like this company was protecting themselves from frivolous accounts. kind of like when people try to get last minute health insurance for pennies, claiming they have no medical issues and use it for a broken limb an hour later, then try to cancel their policy the next day wanting a refund. -Nice try though-
I have this membership, i used it only a few times and was very glad i had it when i needed it. $35 per month was worth it!

You are obligated to contracts you sign. You shouldn't of canceled prior to your question. $35 is a drop in the bucket as compared to what attorneys typically charge. If you were smart enough to hold onto your plan you would've seen a really good plan.
There's good and bad to this company just like any other company in the world. The good news is if you've ever dealt with an attorney then you know how a SIMPLE thing can cost TONS. Most attorneys want $100 per document to even look at. Our company gives up to 10 pages at no added costs. 10x$1000 is $1000. A year of this service doesn't even cost 1/3rd of that. On top of that you can use this per subject matter and ongoing.
There's more aspects into this but that alone is worth it.
Now let's examine the alternatives-public defenders, contingency attorneys, and public aide. All of which are iffy and who knows what they would do. Pre-paid gives it's members an entire network of attorneys and if you don't like any attorney you can be forwarded over to another one. Whether you need an attorney who specializes in document review,child law, etc. Will one public defender or public aide attorney give you that diversity where they can specialize in everything? This part of the company is EXCELLENT.
