The simple answer is NO, however they do offer services that may be useful rarely in your life that you can use. So it's not useless. But it is not the quality of services people think it's going to be. You are often going to buy 3rd party services, when you ask questions past level 1 problems. That kinda thing.

You will be able to get "discounts" on the 3rd party lawyers, tools, consultations and ect. through LegalShield so that helps a little when you are sent somewhere else, but it shows that LegalShield is not equipped to handle your needs like they claim.

If you have an emergency RIGHT NOW, then you should give LegalShield a try. I would never advise you to NOT try something to save yourself. If you wanna give it a shot, because you got a DUI or you have a legal issue you need to settle, then by all means, do what you gotta do. BUT if you are joining LegalShield to build a business and make money, then you are going to be MISERABLE! 99% of people come for the compensation plan, and then those people PRETEND the products are great to fool you. They are all secret reps. Secret Agents. LOL

We will talk about the entire LegalShield company below in the blog post, however I want to lead with a few reasons WHY LegalShield is a BullShit MLM company that lies and pretends you make more money than you do.

Honestly, ChatGPT is a better lawyer now days and can save you a ton of time and money on legal issues.

The basic join cost is $99 then $24.95/month

You can add on more services, and there are multiple levels that cost more per month.

The first an most important part about LegalShield for affiliate marketers, is the actual pay plan. After you read this, you will be SHOCKED as to... WHY... anyone in the world would actually share LegalShield to make money.

Ready?

LegalShield introduced a "12 Month Advanced Commission" which is basically a refund factory.

Let me explain...

So when someone join your LegalShield team, rather than making $X for the month, you get paid 12 months in advance, which SOUNDS amazing, right?

BUT, 99% of people quit MLM and ask for a refund...

So what LegalShield really did, is create a 365 day refund policy that a customer can refund later in the year. This is a complete🖕 to the affiliates who work hard to bring in new customers. Without the affiliates and network marketers LegalShield would not be around.

If you want to make money online, you need to have the refund timeframe be short. In home business you want the refund time to be 24-72 hours, maybe 7 days. If its a physical product then 30 days. That's it.

If a customer joins you in January, and refunds on in December, you will be charged through LegalShield and guess what... LegalShield WILL reach into your bank account and take money from it months after the sale was originally made.

So in reality all these "Leaders" are LYING about their income...

They get a sale, get paid for 12 months and show it off, but little does everyone know, that the customer will quit and get a refund in 2 months... BOOM! 10 Months on commissions TAKEN from your bank account.

LegalShield pays you money that is not really generated, THEN takes money that isnt there anymore from your account. It's a scam.

ANOTHER PROBLEM, is that this creates higher dollar amount refunds, for no reason on the company records. So when the bank processor sees that LegalShield has WAY more money being refunded, the bank processor will shut them down. I would imagine that LegalShield is going to have payment processing issues very soon because of the massive increase in refunds and higher amount of refunds.

LegalShield is cashing out and will not be around much longer. This is the behavior of a network marketing company that is about to go down.

The only one that wins in the LegalShield compensation plan is... LegalShield

No, LegalShield is not a scam.

They have very shitty low quality services and they pay affiliates hardly anything.

But that does not mean it is a scam.

You CAN make millions of dollars with LegalShield but it is 10,000 lifetimes impossible and not worth the effort. You will work hard to get paid nothing and probably lose everything.

It is better to get a job at McDonalds and buy Bitcoin if you want to make money.

Personal / Family Legal Plans

You are able to buy “pre-paid legal” memberships for a monthly fee and you can access a network of provider law firms.

What is LegalShield?

LegalShield is a longstanding legal services company that has spent more than five decades helping members get affordable, direct access to qualified attorneys. Through a network of thoroughly screened law firms located across the United States and parts of Canada—each averaging over two decades of legal experience—members can receive legal guidance without the traditional high cost of hiring a lawyer. (LegalShield connects members to its network of independent provider law firms through a subscription-based model.)

What is a legal subscription service (or pre-paid legal plan), and how does it work?

A legal subscription service works much like any other monthly membership: instead of paying steep hourly rates for legal help, you pay a predictable, low monthly fee. With LegalShield, that fee grants you access to a dedicated provider law firm in your home state for the types of services included in your plan. Exact pricing and coverage depend on the membership you choose.

Is LegalShield the same as Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.?

Yes. Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. officially began operating under the name LegalShield on September 10, 2011. Although the brand name changed, the company itself—now with more than 50 years in business—remains the same and continues to expand the services it offers.

Is LegalShield an MLM?

LegalShield provides pre-paid legal memberships in a tightly regulated industry overseen by the FTC. For more than half a century, its mission has centered on making legal protection accessible and empowering individuals and families to address everyday legal matters affordably.

The company sells its services through multiple channels, including independent associates who run their own businesses. While some may associate this with MLM-style structures, LegalShield’s products are legitimate legal service plans used by millions. Today, the company supports more than 4.5 million individuals and 140,000 businesses throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada using a combination of technology, partnerships, and professional legal support.

Will the membership really cover my specific legal issue?

Most common personal legal matters fall under the standard benefits included in a LegalShield Personal Plan, meaning members won’t pay extra for typical day-to-day legal needs. If your situation is more specialized and requires help beyond the plan’s included services, your provider law firm can still assist you—often at a reduced hourly rate. If you aren’t sure whether your matter is covered, you can call (833)-951-2754 for clarification. Note that LegalShield’s provider firms do not handle International Law, Military Law, or Tribal Law.

Does the LegalShield membership cover pre-existing situations?

Many pre-existing legal issues are eligible for consultation and discounted assistance based on the provider firm’s standard rates. However, some matters are excluded. Current exclusions include:

• Any civil case, traffic ticket, or charge tied to an incident that occurred before your membership began

• Any IRS notice, audit, investigation, or communication received prior to membership start

For other pre-existing concerns, your provider firm can typically offer advice and may be able to provide additional help depending on the specifics.

How do I choose a lawyer?

With LegalShield, the selection process is handled for you. You don’t need to sift through reviews or interview attorneys. LegalShield carefully evaluates each of its provider law firms to ensure they meet strict standards, and the lawyers within these firms average 22 years of professional experience. As a member, you’re automatically connected to the appropriate firm for your state.

What is LegalShield’s service area, and are there provider law firms in my area?

Every U.S. state and certain regions of Canada have a designated provider law firm responsible for assisting members in that location. Members simply contact their assigned firm to receive the services included in their plan.

How do I contact my Provider Law Firm?

Members can reach their provider law firm directly through the LegalShield mobile app or by phone. A customer service representative will gather basic details—such as your legal issue, address, and contact information—and forward your case to the appropriate attorney, who will then reach out to you.

What level of contact will I have with a lawyer if I am a LegalShield member?

Your level of interaction with an attorney depends on the specifics of your situation. After you notify your provider law firm of your legal matter, a lawyer will call you to discuss it. From that point, the attorney will determine what type of assistance or further action is needed.

Will I work with the same lawyer each time I need help?

You may not connect with the same individual attorney if your issues involve different types of law. However, you will remain with the same provider law firm for all covered services under your plan, ensuring consistency and familiarity with your overall legal history.

How do I start a membership?

Don't. But you can visit www.legalshield.com and get started, or you can find a network marketing affiliate that will be able to make a nothing commission from you.

How can I pay for my membership?

• Monthly bank draft

• Annual bank draft

• Monthly credit card

• Annual credit card

Keep in mind if a customer refunds you will get the money taken from you bank account. LegalShield does not accept prepaid credit cards.

How long after I join can I use the plan?

You can use your plan as soon as your membership application is reviewed and your account is set up. The review process takes 12-24 business hours (or less) from the moment you purchase your plan. Once accepted, you can connect with your provider law firm within 8 business hours once your request is submitted.

If the basic plan benefits don’t cover my specific situation, how much will it cost me?

When you need legal help that does not fall under the standard benefits, you may be able to work with your provider law firm for a discount off their standard hourly rates. The total cost depends on factors such as the area of law, your geographic location and your lawyer’s hourly rate.

Dreamers who got suckered into a lame network marketing binary compensation plan that have a 364 day refund policy. That's what the LegalShield reps really are.

Most people do NOT understand the real truth about the leadership of MLM... and you're going to get PISSED!

The real truth is that the leaders, ARE PUT THERE!

They do not work hard for their position.

They make DEALS with the owner and get put into a position higher in the comp plan than they should.

This leads to people pretending they are a big shot meanwhile they can't teach you have to get any leads.

Ever notice how people are rich, WITHOUT having any real skills? Like politicians or cult leaders or preachers at church?

Why can't top network marketers teach anything other than out dated strategies? ITS BECAUSE IF THEY DID you would not buy their shit anymore because you would realize the mlm doesn't help anyone with anything.

Also the leadership in any program signs a contract to not speak about other companies which means the leaders are NOT Freedom Entrepreneurs, they are soul selling demons who will tell you that you can do the say thing they did, just work harder. They fucking made a deal with the owner and tell you you don't call enough people.

Criminals. Goons. Fools. Scum.

MLM leadership is a pool of chodes who pretend they are good while using black magic and contracts to make their money.

After doing a massive amount of research on the multi level marketing company LegalShield, I have to give a 100% conclusion that this is a Dog Shit MLM.

You will never make money in LegalShield as a regular network marketing representative. The pay is too little and the comp plan is against you at every level.

The worst part is that the 12 month commission advance is basically a way for you to go get sales, then have your money taken from your bank when that person refunds. Even if you do not have the money in your account, remember the sale happened months ago.

If you want to make make money online the here are my top 2 recommendations:

1. Simple Freedom Warriors - You will be able to master attraction marketing for ONLY $7
