Only for credibility purposes, I am a Professional (i. E. Notable Physician).

Read the email thread below between myself and the leadership of LegalShield, it speaks for itself. My first Consultation with LegalShield was 'accidentally' screwed up by them; I had to complain after they wasted my time and energy and the Partner of the Illinois Law Firm eventually intervened but then would not provide the legal services requested and available under the benefits advertised by LegalShield. This email thread below was regarding my 2nd Consultation with LegalShield with their California Law Firm. Summary: Based on my experience with them, Legalshield is a scam and the leadership of the Company does not care about providing the services as they advertise to rope you in. They want people to pay the recurring fee and forget about it like some gym memberships out there and to not actually use the services of the membership.

Dear LegalShield Executive Team:

I signed up for the LegalShield Membership last month and this is the 2nd consultation with LegalShield and it has been unprofessional just like the first Consultation started off, please advise. First one is described at the bottom of the email trail below:

Never received the call from {Attorney Name Redacted} as scheduled 11/4/2021 at 4:15pm PST. I wasted another hour of my precious time due to LegalShield's Negligence.

2nd Correspondence, no response to date from Legalshield

I received the call from {Attorney Name Redacted} over an hour later than scheduled today at 5:22pm PST. Just like at the beginning of the First Consultation, this Attorney also had no idea about the Case and clearly had not reviewed the email that I sent the Manager of the apartment complex nor the BBB complaint which I filed which explained the entire case.

1) Does LegalShield value me as a customer?
2) What does LegalShield think about this Situation? This is my 2nd Consultation with LegalShield and BOTH Consultations have had the exact same experience. The Attorneys were BOTH unprofessional and wasted at least 3.5 to 4 hours of my precious time that I can never get back.
3) What is LegalShield going to URGENTLY do about this Situation?

Don't sign up with these clowns. Terrible service and even worse referrals to incompetent law firms.
