Frequently Asked Questions

Help Center

LegalShield is a subscription-based service that has been simplifying access to legal help for more than 50 years. Through our network of trusted law firms across the U.S. and Canada, members receive support from experienced attorneys averaging 22 years in practice.

You're not always legally required to have a lawyer, but having access to one protects you in ways a realtor can't. A lawyer can review your purchase agreement before you sign, flag unusual terms or missing contingencies, review your mortgage documents before closing, and advise you on title issues, liens, or HOA obligations — all of which can cost you significantly if overlooked. LegalShield makes this accessible without paying $350/hour for each question.

Ideally, you should get legal advice for every legal issue you're facing. It’s the best way to know your rights and stay protected. LegalShield changes the game by making it easy and affordable to consult a real, experienced lawyer.

At closing, a lawyer can review all mortgage and loan documents before you sign, explain the terms of your agreement in plain language, flag errors or unfavorable clauses, and ensure your interests are protected in the paperwork. LegalShield members on Advanced and Premium plans can have a provider lawyer review their mortgage documents before closing.

Our subscription service business model makes legal help affordable for millions of people. Instead of paying a lawyer $300/hour (or more), you pay a small monthly membership fee for access to a law firm for help with an unlimited number of personal legal issues (prices and coverage vary depending on plan). 

A traditional lawyer typically charges $300–500 per hour for contract review — meaning a single purchase agreement review can cost $350–700 or more. LegalShield members get unlimited document review — including purchase agreements, HOA documents, warranty contracts, and home improvement contracts — as part of their monthly membership. Please see your plan contract for details and exclusions.

Membership applications are reviewed within 72 hours. Once approved, you can contact your provider law firm and use the perks of your membership.

Yes. LegalShield members can consult with a provider lawyer about HOA disputes, have HOA documents reviewed before signing, and have a lawyer send a letter or make a phone call to an HOA on their behalf to help resolve a dispute if the law firm decides it is in the member's best interest. Many HOA conflicts are resolved once formal legal correspondence arrives — without escalating to litigation.

A lien discovered during a title search can delay or derail a home purchase — whether it's a contractor's lien, unpaid property taxes, or a judgment against the seller. A LegalShield provider lawyer can advise you on your options, help you understand what the lien means for your transaction, and in many cases assist with the legal steps required to address it before closing.

LegalShield provider lawyers can advise on deed-related matters, review documents involved in property transfers, and help you understand the legal implications of adding or removing someone from a property title — including quitclaim deeds, deed transfers to family members, and title changes after a death or divorce. They can also advise on the difference between a quitclaim deed and a warranty deed, and what each means for you.
