More than 45 years ago, we opened our doors to protect people and that is still what we do today for millions of individuals and tens of thousands of businesses across the United States and Canada.

Here are just a few of the LegalShield and IDShield success stories that inspire us.

"LegalShield has helped me four times in the six months that I’ve been a member. My [provider law firm] is an excellent resource for a variety of services.  When I received a traffic citation, my law firm assisted me with every step and option available to help me on my path to resolution." Texas Member Felix N.

"I uploaded my speeding ticket on my LegalShield app and they called me back within hours with legal advice. Wonderful service and guidance." Idaho Member

"I called because I did not feel comfortable with a person who I was dealing with as I was attempting to sell our piano on [an online advertising site]. Your representative agreed with me and suggested I call our local police department and run it by them. I did that and was told that it was probably a scam. Sure enough the check I received from the suspicious party eventually bounced. Had we done what the scammer wanted us to do, we would be out $1,300 dollars." South Dakota Member, Gary G

"I want to thank LegalShield. The concept is great and helps families like mine be able to find and use an attorney for different issues that might arise. The last issue we had was with [an online payment company] and I think that if we did not have access to an attorney, they would have taken advantage of us." Washington Member, Mark N.

Legal Authority Ends at 18. Parenting Doesn't.

Your daughter just went off to college and became ill. She goes to the doctor, and they want to see certain records from her childhood, such as shot records. She calls you and asks you to call the family’s long-time pediatrician to acquire the records. No problem – right? You call, and the office tells you that since your child is 18, you are no longer allowed access to her records. Your child is an adult and as a parent, you have lost your authority.
