ARAG Legal services ARAD Legal services is a ripoff for the price Des Moines, Iowa

I agree with comments here regarding ARAG.  Everyone I work with feels stuck in a rut with nowhere to go.  High level people seem uninvolved or do not seem to care.  A lot of weird 'busy work' meetings seem to keep everyone very 'busy.'  So busy.  

If you're looking to work in a maze of cube farm where you can pretty much surf Facebook all day, try to get a job here.  If you're looking for a real gig to advance your career, look elsewhere. 

I feel sorry for the customers who don't get anywhere near the service they think they are getting.  Delivering on a promise?  Forget it.  Seek legal advice on your own.

I was just searching to see if there was any competition to the services that Legal Shield provides.  I have heard of ARAG and apparently this would be like comparing Apples to Lemons!  So far...I have found NONE!  Unlimited advice, letters, doc/contract review..plus plus plus for $27/month per family!  I will stay with Legal Shield as I have for 15 years and counting! greatlegalbenefit.com/ays

FIRST OF ALL, WAS THIS A PARALEGAL SERVICE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS  AND RESEARCH FOR LAWYERS?

OR WAS IT REPRESENTED TO YOU AS PRE-PAID LEGAL INSURANCE??????

WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE PAYING MONEY FOR ALL THOSE YEARS?

AND DO YOU HAVE DOCUMENTS THAT SAY IT IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH LEGAL COUNSEL?

AND IS THERE AN ATTORNEY WHO IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN YOUR STATE WHO IS GIVING THIS ADVICE?

AND DID YOU CALL YOU STATE'S BAR ASSOCIATION AND ASK THESE QUESTIONS TO THEM?

WHY DID YOU NOT CANCEL WHEN YOU GOT MARGINAL LEGAL ADVICE BEFORE? THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WARNING OF THINGS THAT WERE TO COME.

IT MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN A LAWYER FROM INDIA ON THAT PHONE -- A LOT OF PLACES ARE USING  ATTORNEYS WHO CALL FROM INDIA BECAUSE THEY COST LESS THAN AN AMERICAN ATTORNEY --SUPPOSEDLY --BUT END UP COSTING YOU MORE EVENTUALLY EVEN THOUGH FORMER BRITISH COLONIES HAVE LAWS BASED ON BRITISH COMMON LAW, INDIA STILL HAVE DIFFERENT LAWS THAN WE DO.

WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON GOING ON THE CHEAP IN LEGAL MATTERS WHEN THEY COULD LOSE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE IN COME COCKAMAMY LAW SUIT?

I HAVE TO WONDER WHAT CHARGES ARE BEING FILED AGAINST YOUR WIFE THAT THIS FORMER EMPLOYEE CAN SUE HER FOR?

ARE YOU A COMMUNITY PROPERTY STATE?

YOU NEED TO SEE A LAWYER,----RIGHT NOW!

A REAL LAWYER -- NOT JUST SOME WHO KNOWS WHO THE HELL THEY REALLY ARE WHO TALKS TO YOU ON A PHONE.

YOU NEED TO SEE ONE FACE TO FACE AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.

YOU BETTER CALL YOUR STATE'S BAR ASSOCIATION AND MAKE SURE HE OR SHE IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE IN YOUR STATE BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR FINAL SELECTION TOO.
