    I have a get out of jail free card from AAA.

    Never had to use it yet.

    Btw...any way you can check the services...like e-opinion or consumer reports? Are they mostly for auto/injury cases? Stuff like dui? Do they mostly act as a referral service to listen and get you to the right KIND of atty for your problem?

    How many minutes a month are you allowed for questions? Do you get same atty each time?

    WHAT? M-L-M lawyers???

    Nevermind.

    Somewhere in the fine print, it tells you the limitations it has.
    It says something along the lines of "You are only earning so much
    court time per year, so it takes a few years to have any court time.
    They won't represent you if you are guilty of some crimes, but just
    for lawsuits or to find you representation in the event of a crime."

    Basically, you get what you paid for. They claim that they do a good
    job for you, because the local legal group wants the group money to
    continue, but it seems more like they just want the money to give
    legal advice and little else. These guys are lawyers, they are smart
    enough to know how to get more money out of a client than their
    small monthly payment when they really need a lawyer.

    If you regularly need contracts drawn or read over, then it might be
    a good value. If you want to "bank" some serious legal representation,
    you might remember that you get what you paid for. In other words,
    when you absolutely "need" a good lawyer, do you want the one who
    knows you only spent a couple thousand dollars over the years and
    won't be lining his pockets for this "important" case?

    Hi WAC, I signed up for one years ago when I thought I was going to have a custody battle on my hands eventually. It only costs me $4 month, which was the original cost when I signed up in 1989. I used it for my will, could've used it for a home sale and may use it to get out of an apartment lease. I view it as insurance. It's called Legal Services Plan at 800-323-4620. http://www.legalhelpnow.com/lsp/Header.do It appears the cost has gone up since I signed up: Your membership fee is just $14.99 per month or save $29.98 by paying just $149.90 annually.
