What's Covered

Telephone Legal Advice and Consultation with a Network Attorney

The following services are paid in full when you speak with a network attorney over the phone:

  • Toll-free telephone advice on how the law relates to your personal legal matter and which action may be taken.
  • Follow-up correspondence and telephone calls to third parties related to your personal legal matter.
  • Specific document preparation and document review.
  • Standard will or codicil preparation. Standard will means a will document without trust provisions other than a support trust for dependent children limited to appointing a guardian and placing assets for dependent children until they reach their age of majority.
  • Immigration-related advice and consultation, document review and preparation, and preparation for hearings.
  • Identity theft assistance with identity theft case managers and network attorneys, and materials to help protect you from identity theft and speed your recovery if you are a victim of identity theft.

If your matter cannot be resolved over the phone and is not fully covered under your insurance policy and not excluded under the Exclusions section, you are eligible to work with a Reduced Fee Network Attorney and receive a reduced fee that will be at least 25% off the attorney’s normal hourly rate. Payment of attorney fees is handled directly between you and the Reduced Fee Network Attorney. Access to a Reduced Fee Network Attorney is subject to availability.
