Changing Horses mid stream can be difficult!

PERSONAL STORY After being wooed from one company to another with promises of a three year contract and 3 weeks vacation time per year, we found ourselves without a contract after only 9 months.  Needless to say, we felt the Company we had a contract with was in breach.  We forwarded our documents for review to our provider law firm who reviewed our documents and consulted with us.  They felt it would be in our best interest if they wrote a letter for us on our behalf asking for damages.  None of this cost us anything more than our monthly membership fee.   Two weeks later, the Company issued us a cheque for over $6,800.00.  We would never have received  this without our LegalShield membership.

We had a new pair of prescription eye glasses that the lense fell out of and dropped to the bottom of our lake never to be seen again.

Some people think they only need a lawyer when they have a really big deal or problem. Owning a LegalShield membership prevents big deals or problems and therefore saves you money....
