For matters that require additional assistance beyond the free legal services, it may be necessary to retain the attorney to represent you.

Yes they can. Upon completion of an initial consultation, you and your attorney may decide to proceed with further legal action. In certain situations, attorney liability may require plan attorneys to ask for a retainer from the member prior to providing some of the free legal services. This may be required because, when an attorney sends a letter or makes a phone call on your behalf, the attorney may be committed to respond to a follow up letter or phone call from the other party.
Legal matters can unexpectedly occur. When a matter arises, how quickly you react can be critical. Plus, taking advantage of the FREE Simple Will with FREE annual updates included in the plan, can cover the cost of the membership each year.
