Here's what you need to know

This plan gives you and your family access to legal services from a network of more than 20,000 attorneys nationwide who are available to help you when you need it.

 

You’re protected by a reliable resource you can turn to for a wide range of legal needs. That includes needs that are part of good planning – and also those that happen when you encounter challenging situations you don’t expect.

 

Network attorneys can help with many legal issues, including but not limited to these:

 

  • Home and Residential (buying, selling, vacation home, refinance, foreclosure, landlord/tenant, etc.)
  • Financial and Consumer (debts, credit, collections, contracts, etc.)
  • Auto and Traffic (moving violations, tickets, license suspension, etc.)
  • Family (divorce, adoption, child support, child custody, domestic violence protection, etc.)
  • Estate planning and wills (will, living will, power of attorney)
  • DE&I (domestic partnership, gender identifier, veterans, immigration, etc.)
  • Elder law matters

 

The LegalEASE legal insurance plan provides paid-in-full coverage – it pays the entire legal bill – of most every legal problem that may arise. Don’t face these challenging situations on your own.

 

*Limitations and Exclusions may apply. Please refer to your benefit documents for a full list of included plan benefits.

 

We encounter numerous legal matters throughout the course of our lives. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a legal expert on your side who could help guide you through these situations? Now you have access to legal professionals who can help advocate for your best interests.

 

This coverage is invaluable when you want to have clout and get action in a dispute. For example:

 

  • Taking legal action to resolve a contract dispute with a home improvement contractor or a landlord, or a refund dispute
  • Fighting a traffic violation ticket in court
  • Navigating your way out of a consumer fraud or identity theft issue

 

Once you and your family members are covered, you know exactly where you can turn for legal help, without scrambling to identify a reliable resource when a need arises or paying an expensive hourly rate.

 

Beyond providing access to network attorneys, plan benefits include:

 

  • LAMP: LegalEASE Attorney Matching Portal – Members have access to an online intake process, giving them the ability to connect to the most qualified Plan Attorney in the network most compatible with personal preferences, availability and legal needs.
  • LegalCORNER – Special portal with additional legal information and resources.

These are the periods when you are eligible to enroll:

 

  • Within your new hire enrollment period
  • If you have a qualifying life event (you get married, have a baby, etc.)
  • During your employer’s annual enrollment

 

Check with your employer’s human resources/benefits team for specifics about these timeframes.
