Frequently Asked Questions

I need legal help now. What are the advantages of using the PPL system?
Simple, we give you HUNDREDS of dollars of help RIGHT UP FRONT (free consultation, free letter or call on your behalf, document review at NO COST) plus you get a discount on everything else! It only makes sense to PAY LESS right? The plan would be worth the $37 a month if all we offered was the 25% discount! (Let's see... a $200 an hour attorney would save you $50 an HOUR!)

What level of quality can I expect to receive?
All our Provider Firms are A-V rated (the highest rating available in the legal industry).

How many firms are available?
Our network consists of over 2,700 law firms. This means coverage anywhere you need it in the entire United States (This means you'll have a local attorney if you need it)

Am I required to sign a long term contract?
No, members are on a month to month basis though doesn't it make sense to protect you RIGHTS and your IDENTITY for $1.20 a day?

Is Identity Theft really that big an issue?
Identity Theft is the Nations FASTEST GROWING CRIME. Over 27,000 people each day are victims of ID theft.

I thought only people with good credit needed to worry about ID Theft. Am I at risk?
If you live, breathe and have a Social Security or Drivers license Number.. YOU ARE AT RISK. Identities are stolen for credit reasons but they are also very valuable to thieves that want to you USE name to get jobs, health insurance, set up fraudulent businesses, commit crimes in your name, or sell to criminals that need a new ID because they already have records. So in other words, if you don't already have a warrant out for your arrest, your ID is something they want.

If ID Theft happens to me or my spouse, do you HELP me fix it or can I count on you to handle that for me?
Identity Theft Shield is the ONLY plan that actually does all the work for you. There are just a couple simple things we ask for that the law requires but make no mistake.. we have the licensed professionals available to help get your good name and credit back.

Can I be canceled for overuse?
No, the ONLY way to be canceled is through nonpayment or fraud.

Is it available in ALL 50 states?
We currently sell memberships in 48 states but coverage includes all 50.

I haven't used an attorney in years. Do I really need this membership?
YES! The reason you haven't used an attorney is NOT because you didn't need one, but because you were faced with the financial decision. "Can I afford to hire an attorney to handle this?" The answer is usually NO. WHY? Because @ $200 an hour plus, it's hard to afford much time. The fact that most people don't have a WILL in place says a lot about how unaffordable attorneys are for the average person.

Can I get help with a PRE-EXISTING legal situation?
YES! You will receive a TOLL FREE CONSULTATION with a TOP attorney that specializes in YOUR legal problem and a letter or phone call on your behalf to help solve the problem at NO COST. Then if more work is needed it will be provided at a 25% discount.

Will there be an attorney available if I need them to represent me locally?
