Justice for All? Can It Really Be True?
by Richard Hamlin, Legal Shield Member and Associate
Working with Legal Shield day in and day out, sometimes I tend to forget exactly how revolutionary the age is in which we live. Think about how you used to do some things, and how that has changed over the years.
A few years ago, if you needed to find information about any subject, you searched through a set of encyclopedias on the book shelves. You looked up the spelling and meaning of words in a dictionary. Today, just about any information you desire is a laptop or smart phone click away. Reading the newspaper has changed. By the time you pick up the morning paper, the most important news probably has already reached you by internet, television, or a hand-held device.
It's not just the internet that has changed our lives. If you wanted to listen to your favorite song in 1980, you plugged in the cassette tape and forwarded and rewound until you got close, and then let it play. The huge boom box on your hip whirred and screamed. Now, you click a button on a cell phone-sized player in your hand and thousands of songs are immediately available in alphabetical order! If you wanted to make a telephone call while away from home 20 years ago, you had better have enough quarters to plug into the public payphone. Today almost everyone has a phone in his personal possession wherever he may be, and it can cost nothing extra to make a call anywhere in the country.

Before Legal Shield, dealing with lawyers was cumbersome:
1. Find a lawyer in the phone book or by a referral (and maybe you'd get a good one).
2. Call up and find out how much it would cost to work with him or her.
3. Enter into an agreement to pay for services, possibly including a large retainer, without any guarantees.
4. Receive limited access to the lawyer on his or her schedule for the agreed fee, and pay more on an hourly basis if you go over the agreed time.
5. Hopefully, get well researched answers and maybe even a resolution.
Legal Shield changed everything. Now:
1. Call a toll-free 800 number to reach a carefully qualified and selected high quality law firm in your state.
2. The only cost is your monthly membership fee, for possibly as little as $25 or even $16 per month flat fee.
3. The length of the "agreement" is controlled by you, not the law firm, and you can drop out at any time without penalty if you’re not satisfied.
4. Receive access to legal help and advice for an unlimited number of issues, virtually anything in which the participation of your own lawyer can improve your outcome.
5. Receive service-oriented legal counsel without the traditional clock-watching component.
Is that revolutionary? Of course it is! When a revolutionary change occurs, it's only a matter of time before it becomes main-stream. The exciting thing is that this is your time. Legal Shield is literally standing on the edge of an extraordinary time in history. Are you up to speed on it yet?
