Who is Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.?

Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. was one of the first companies in the United States organized solely to design, underwrite and market legal expense plans. 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 for HMOs. Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. provides members 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 Pre-Paid Legal members, access to legal counsel is only a toll-free phone call away. Today, over 1.5 million North American families rely upon services provided by Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. As a market leader providing legal plans and services since 1972, Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., provides family plans, specialized professional and group plans, and business plans through a network of independent law firms under contract with the company. The company also provides other innovative services such as the Identity Theft Shield, which includes credit monitoring and credit restoration in the event of identity theft. Our members are served by provider law firms, which have been carefully screened and selected by Pre-Paid Legal. 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. Pre-Paid Legal does all the work; no searching for a qualified lawyer, no claim forms, no worries about being able to afford a lawyer - just peace of mind. In 2000, Pre-Paid Legal makes the Forbes list of the 200 Best Small Companies in America for the fifth year in a row. As Pre-Paid Legal Founder Harland Stonecipher co-authors The Pre-Paid Legal Story, his company now surpasses the one million membership mark. In 2001, Pre-Paid Legal finalizes building plans for a new $30 million corporate campus. With memberships now available in 48 states and four provinces and the corporate campus finished, Pre-Paid Legal is positioned for exceptional growth and success. A home office staff of over 700 now supports over 1.5 million Members and Independent Associates across North America. Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. provides members with a "Life Events Legal Plan," as well as an "Identity Theft Shield" plan.
