Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Group Legal Plan
Top
Basic Charge
Telephone consultations of up to 30 minutes per month are included in your basic fee and no additional billing or charges are incurred by you. We would appreciate individual phone consultations being limited to 15 minutes. Basic fee includes 6 month's coverage.

Consultation This plan provides for a free initial office visit and consultation with the attorney. This will give you an opportunity to go over the plan and let the firm get to know you and your operation, as well as possibly the types of questions you might have or how you could use the phone consultation service.

Hourly Rates Should you need the services of an attorney beyond the consultation service, you then have 2 choices. You can retain our plan attorney and take advantage of the estimated 35% Hourly Rate Discount provided to member participants, or you can select any attorney of your own choosing, except we cannot guarantee the hourly rates offered by our group plan. Some of the services coming under the reduced hourly rate schedules include fees related to prosecution or defense of lawsuits filed, contract negotiations, dispute resolution matters, etc.

Contingency Fees This program also provides for special contingency fee rates for personal injury and related matters that are normally handled on a contingency fee basis. This can result in significant savings to you, if you are involved in such a case.
