Here is some more info

I had not reviewed my membership in awhile so I started digging around and clearing out some old ppl info. This is some more info for you...

Here is their corporate website. You may find some interesting information there that will help you in your research:

www.prepaidlegal.com

-You can find out the different plans they offer for your state by clicking on the 'Legal Plans' link at top left.
-Next page, scroll down to the bottom right and click on 'Plan Information'
-You select your state from the drop down box, (disable pop-up blockers as it will open a new window) and click 'Go'
-You will see what plans are offered in your state. Click on the ones that interest you for a more detailed explanation.

There are 2 family memberships offered for my state that cost $16/month and $26/month. My family also added the 'Legal Shield' rider (cost a buck a month as a rider) where you have access to the lawfirm 24/7 if detained or arrested.

The only difference in the plans is that you start with more pre-trial and trial hours with the $26 membership. The longer you have a membership (either $16 or $26), they add on more pre-trial hours and trial hours. You reach the max hours in the 5th year renewal.

As I travel a lot, it is also nice to know that no matter what state or Canadian providence I am in, they have a lawfirm in the state that will take my call if having a problem.

All the information that I was sent about ppl prior to buying a membership proved to me that they have very good and highly rated lawfirms and must maintain this rating if they want to remain a part of the ppl network. I also remember receiving a questionaire asking me to rate my experiences with the lawfirms. I remember Floyd telling me that if the lawfirms did not have a favorable ratings from the membership owners, ppl asks them to leave. I also just read an email where one of the lawfirms got paid $500,000 in a year from ppl from the memberships of our state. I would figure that as all lawfirms look for 'rain-makers' (those that bring profit to the lawfirm..did you see the movie? ...great movie with Danny Devito and Ben Affleck's friend :) I think that ppl members may carry some weight when it comes to priorities at these lawfirms if they are getting paid that much (just an educated "guess" :) Maybe a good comparison would be if some company paid them half-a-million a year as a retainer...they probably would be catered to as one of the biggest clients don't you think?! :)

Re: business plans
You mentioned your interest in know what is in a business membership. They have them listed there as well....in-home business plans, small biz plans, self employed biz plans and larger biz plans.

One more thing, seems to me that you can take tours of the lawfirms offices. I don't remember if there was a schedule for that but you could check.
Good luck in your research!
