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.

Thank you Legalzoom for all your help.
Shane Sandoval,
I've really enjoyed the professional manner in which we where treated. Highly recommend
Thanks for your kind words Bernadette, so glad we could help!
The main problem with LegalZoom in this case is their initial search was sloppy and misleading. The Trademark Office found many instances in THEIR search that were not reported by LegalZoom for the same words I was using for requesting a trademark.
When LegalZoom did my Copyright on a manual, all went well.
For a Registered Trademark, I think I'd actually hire an attorney outright. This type of thing is much more involved than I had considered. I will not continue to pursue the Registered Trademark, but I feel like it would have been a better experience face to face with a knowledgeable attorney.

I have had a glitch in getting copyright protection for 3 songs. Apparently the application did not list me as author of the " music". I submitted materials that clearly specified myself as author of lyrics and music. I have responded by phone for two days now and have had no response from LZ to correct the situation. I payed a lot of money to LZ to avoid rookie moves. I might suggest to others to save over $100.00 per song and go directly to COPYRIGHT OFFICE MYSELF. I NOT A HAPPY CAMPR

Thanks John, glad we could help!
I had been caring for an elderly friend with cancer and other issues for some time. During this period it became necessary to obtain authorization for health care and financial matters along with final arrangements and a Will. I am 78 years old and he was 70. Both on fixed income. We were extremely pleased with the service and follow-up service once we contacted Legal Zoom. My friend died two weeks ago. I am so glad that we had the proper documentation at the appropriate time. Now as we go to probate I feel confident that Legal Zoom will be there to help.
Hi Richard, so glad we could help you. We really appreciate you!
The lawyer I spoke with was informative, easy to talk to, and most of all very patient with me and my questions. She made sure that by the time our conversation ended that I felt satisfied and enpowered. Thank you for your compassion
Hi Abdon, thanks so much for your kind words and for being a valued customer!
This is a perfect example of what is wrong. No one in Legal Zoom has any idea what is going on. I have sent about 6 complaints and no one even knows or cares what time it is, or what day it is, or what is failing. "Just keep sending E-mails"
Hi Thomas, I would like to extend my sincerest apology in regards to your less than great experience with LegalZoom. I would like an opportunity to try and make things right. Please email your order information & concerns directly to [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.
I wanted to update my existing will and be sure my "house was in order" so after checking around I decided to try LegalZoom. I was very happy with price, experienced lawyers, and the professional manner that LegalZoom provided. I would recommend (and have) to anyone who needs this service.
Thank you so much for choosing LegalZoom. We appreciate you as our customer!
Thanks Travis, glad we could help!
I have excellent experience dealing with LegalZoom. LegalZoom helps me all the way whenever I needed.
Thanks a lot

Thanks Naseem, much appreciated!
I have formed several companies with LegalZoom and each time it has been a very easy experience.
Thank you for being a valued customer Karen. We really appreciate your business!
This site is really unique, it lets u set up any papers u want with a low cost. Im glad I was able to have these papers drawn up by an attorney. I really like this site, mainly because its done in the privacy of your home, not in an attoneys office. Papers were done in about 2 wks, fast and efficient.
Hi Karen, glad we could help you. Thanks so much for being a valued customer!
Initially I would have given LegalZoom a top notch rating. The process starting from the online application to completion was pretty user friendly. I was, however, on a tight time frame to obtain our LLC due to the closing on a property. I chose our name and was required to supply a "back up" name in case the first was not available. In a phone conversation a few days before our closing I was lead to believe we were all set for the chosen name. We went to closing and finalized the transaction. A couple weeks later the express package from Legal Zoom arrived and we were shocked to find that our chosen name was NOT transacted and the secondary one was used. We subsequently had to have another closing with the bank, another closing with the title company, new contracts, deeds... a complete nightmare for all involved. I might also add that we are multiple business owners and not new to the business world!
A business service in Harrisburg, PA helped us out of the mess by obtaining a name for us very close to our first choice. They offered us feedback that they see all kinds of issues with companies like LegalZoom and often have to fix their messes. We won't be doing this again.

Using LegalZoom I created for my dear friend, several documents she needed, including her Will, Living Trust, and Powers of Attorney for Health Care and Asset Management. In addition, using GODeeds via LegalZoom I was able to remove her deceased husband from the title to their property and place the title in my friend's name only.
I was very satisfied with LegalZoom as these documents were created. I was dissatisfied with GODeeds. The person assigned to me to remove my friend's deceased husband's name from the property title and place the title in my friend's name only in her living trust was incompetent in my experience and caused me a lot of frustration.
Hi Clay, glad to hear we were able to help you and I am very sorry about any frustration caused during your process.
Got the information I was needing, and several referral attorneys in my local area to contact as well. Response time was up to the 48th hour advised, which drove me nuts, but in the end it was just what I needed. ADVICE!
Glad we could help Ginger!
We wanted to start our company but wasn't sure how to get started. LegalZoom helped us with everything we need and is keeping us up to date on thing we need in the future.
I would recommend LegalZoom to all new companies getting started.
Thank you for your kind words Kathy, glad we could help!
We needed to change the ownership name on the deed for a piece of property, LZ made it easy and kept us up to date on what was happening and what the next step would be.
Thanks Samuel, glad we could help!
It was really easy... just had to follow instructions. It's a relief to know that my wishes are in black & white so everyone knows what to do.
Thanks Sarah, glad we could help!
It was very easy to make out my own will via the instructions I received for each line of importance to me. What is the old saying, " if I can do it, anyone can do it ".
Thanks Gregory, glad we could help!
