Why Legal Protection? Print E-mail

If you had a legal problem today, what would you do? Could you afford a qualified lawyer? Would you know who to call?

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they will need the services of a lawyer. To draw up a Will, or provide advice and representation in a property dispute. Act in respect of an unfair dismissal, motor vehicle accident or medical negligence claim. Help recover a bad debt, or resolve a matrimonial dispute. Act in respect of a purchase or sale of land or property, resolve a commercial dispute or negotiate a proposed business deal. 

The reasons you may require the services of a lawyer are many. So too, are the reasons why you should have a pre-paid legal plan.

For most of us the thought of calling a lawyer to help protect or defend our legal rights just isn't an option.

The main reasons being, we either don't know who to call, or believe it would cost to much. Instead we choose to ignore the problem or try to handle it personally, neither of which is a satisfactory way to deal with any legal issue.

Why Pre-Paid Legal Services?

Its simple, a pre-paid legal plan will not only provide you a wide range of benefits . It offers the extra peace of mind of having phone and face-to-face access to a lawyer when you may need one to help you with any legal question or matter and know that you can have it dealt with quickly and effectively, without the worry of having to make a financial decision first!

Think about it ..... Getting legal help should not have to be a financial decision!

Ask yourself - Have you ever.....    
  • The top 10% already have or can afford legal access.
  • The bottom 10% have access to the legal aid system.
  • But for 80% of Australians, protecting our legal rights is limited or unatttainable due to the financial costs involved.

A Pre-Paid Legal plan lets a member talk to a lawyer whenever the member thinks he or she might have a problem, without fear of the cost. With the proper legal advice most problems can be avoided or quickly resolved. If further services are needed, such as a letter sent, a contract prepared  or representation in court, a pre-paid legal  plan will ensure a member has the right lawyer to provide the right advice or to handle the case at a substantially reduced cost to the member.

By putting legal advice and support within affordable reach, pre-paid legal plans enable members to prevent legal questions from becoming legal problems. We estimate that 60% to 80% of all problems brought to lawyers through plans can be resolved through nothing more than advice and a small amount of follow-up by you or the lawyer.

Today, you are now three times more likely to have some form of legal issue than you are to be hospitalised and, with a court lodgement being made at a rate of one every 2 seconds. The chances are you will need the services of a lawyer sooner rather than later.

Therefore to protect your rights and assure yourself of legal assistance and support when you need it. You really cannot afford to be without your own Pre-Paid Legal legal services plan.
