How long until I can speak to a lawyer after I pay for subscription?

Once your payment has been validated, you will receive an onboarding email that lists your policy number and the legal line number to call.  You can call as soon as you have this number and speak with one of our CSR’s.  They will take basic information, including what area of law you require assistance in and 3 good times for a call back.  The lawyer will connect with you at your requested time.

 

Can I call back and speak with the same lawyer?

You can call back and request the same lawyer or have a different lawyer if you feel that may be a better option for you.

​

Am I only allowed to call concerning one question?

You can have multiple questions about different areas of law.  When calling, please clearly advise the customer service representative of the nature of your questions and they will assign a lawyer or more than one lawyer, if appropriate, to address your questions.  If after talking to a lawyer on a specific legal matter, you have a new question on a different area of law that the lawyer does not practice, call the toll-free number again and a new lawyer will be assigned to assist with your new question.
