I am the widow of my beloved Air Force Veteran (among many other things) husband and his death from turbo cancer this last year has left me in a very precarious financial and general life situation. I am living in a rent to own mobile home in which the toxic mold infestation that is affecting my health was obfuscated by the owner, or we would never have signed the rent to own agreement. Because I asked the owner to remediate the mold (caused by her years of negligent maintenance of this mobile home)she has now served me with an eviction lawsuit. I cannot afford an attorney to represent me, but at least LegalShield has given me valuable guidance that has bought me some time during these dire straits I find myself in, at age 72.

Long Time Customer
May 15, 2025

I have always had great service when I have needed to use Legal Shield. The only issue is that the Legal Shield support in Florida is extremely frustrating, and they do not always help or call or anything, and then they want a person to rate them based on nothing. I have received help in Colorado, Arizona, and Nebraska as well, and those states have always been awesome! They are quick, knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive. I have been with Legal Shield for over ten years and cannot imagine not having their help, when I need it. Thank you!

The attorney had a very nice way of explaining to me the background and offering the proper guidance to someone like me who has had little experience in these matters. As a result of our conversation, I felt that I had the proper understanding. I am so pleased to have this service.

Legal shield saved me hundreds
May 8, 2025

Legal shield referred me to a law firm for estate planning. The Firm was extremely expensive even after the 25 percent discount. The forms I needed filled out I filled them out myself, the lawyer from Legall Shield verified that I had the correct forms and that they were filled out correctly. That extended help saved me hundreds of dollars.
