The Free Idaho Legal Access Service

There has been an ongoing problem in Idaho, as in the rest of the nation, in the ability of people to afford quality legal representation. So often we are confronted with situations where the benefit of a good attorney is needed, yet we do not use one and instead do our best to handle the matter ourselves, simply because we cannot afford the cost. Nationally, statistics reveal that only about ten percent of the population can afford a lawyer at their standard rates of two to four hundred dollars an hour, plus the substantial retainer that is traditionally required. What is a person to do? How can we obtain equal justice under the law if we don’t have access to quality legal services?

There are services available now that are revolutionizing how we can have affordable access to the top law firms in every state, including Idaho. One company in particular provides access to professional legal counsel not only for traditional legal problems, but for everyday events such as buying a house or a car, creating a will, handling a problem with an insurance company, dealing with identity theft, and much more where legal review should be routine, but rarely is. These events can be among the most important events in a person’s life, yet there is a tendency for them to take place without proper legal review. For members of these service plans, access to legal counsel is only a toll-free phone call away.

One of the first companies in the United States organized solely to design, underwrite and market legal expense plans has continued to grow and expand its high level of services. For a low monthly fee of $26 or less, the Company’s legal expense plans (referred to as memberships) offer a variety of legal services in a manner similar to medical reimbursement plans or HMOs. These plans includes unlimited phone consultations with an attorney and unlimited document review. The Company currently provides legal services to over 1.5 million families across the U.S. and Canada.

Members are served by a provider law firm which has been carefully screened and selected. Using the plan, members simply call their provider firm directly at the toll-free number on their membership card when they have a legal question or problem. It’s really that simple. No searching for a qualified lawyer, no claim forms, no worries about being able to afford a lawyer – just peace of mind.
