LegalZoom Reviews Summary

LegalZoom's reputation is marked by a mix of commendable customer service experiences and significant operational challenges. Many customers praise the professionalism and helpfulness of individual representatives, highlighting their ability to simplify complex processes and provide thorough support. However, a substantial number of reviews reveal frustrations with service delays, unresponsive support, and issues related to incomplete or incorrect service fulfillment, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction and mistrust. This dichotomy suggests that while LegalZoom has the potential to deliver valuable assistance, systemic issues in service delivery and communication hinder overall customer satisfaction.

Excellent customer service
February 8, 2024

I was not receiving correspondence from legal zoom due to one letter missing from my email address. He was able to diagnose the problem, and fix it. Got me renewed with RA services. This is what customer service should look like. Wish other companies treated their customers as well as Legal Zoom. Thank you! Spencer

I started my first non-profit organization with Legal Zoom. The process was well explained and took under one hour to complete. I will have my tax ID number in under one week. I highly recommend Legal Zoom for all of your legal needs.

Outstanding customer service
February 7, 2024

I had a query that I needed resolution and used the Chat. I wanted to start the compliance calendar service but the option for my organization was disabled. The Agent was able to find out that the compliance calendar was converted by another subscription and I did not need to subscribe twice. The agent was able to satisfactorily resolve my issue.

Excellent Customer Service & Support
February 6, 2024

LegalZoom has been great from the start. They helped me get my LLC business going and have provided top notch, excellent service from the start to the finish. I really appreciate the follow-up they do to make sure your business is in compliance. I worked with Abra Ruiz on my last call she scheduled for us, and she wanted to make sure my business was up to date with everything, and she was amazing. She went step by step over everything to make sure my business was on track and even sent a follow-up email after our call for reassurance she is there if I need to reach back out for anything. If you are new in your business and need some direction on how to get started LegalZoom is the best route for you and you won't be disappointed.

Report Review

I asked for Legal Zoom to form a corporation for me, paid the price to have the corporation filing expedited and they failed to file the correct paperwork. When I pointed out that the name on the paperwork was incorrect, they failed to fix it in a reasonable time, leading to having a lapse in being paid for work i'd completed as I needed the work to go into the corporation account which i couldn't create until after I had the EIN number. As of today, I still do not have a corporation with an EIN number and am unable to accept payment because of their error (the order was placed on 1/9 and it is 2/5). I have called their customer service multiple times and they are very "sympathetic" but don't actually do anything to fix the issue. I also emailed several times and still have not had my issue addressed. Please avoid this company and use someone else or a real attorney, after all their fees and "gotchas" you actually pay just as much to go with Legalzoom as you would with a real attorney and they don't do the job right. Very unhappy with this whole ordeal and would never recommend this company to anyone.

LegalZoom attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond
