Pre-Paid Legal Services was on Court TV this morning. Several PPL members were talking about the importance of having access to an attorney or a law firm whenever everyday legal events occur in your life, and how having Pre-Paid Legal's Life Events Plan with the Legal Shield, which is the PPL's family legal plan, could give any average income family peace of mind. You do not have to have a high profile legal problem to need an attorney. Your legal problem could be as small as the dry cleaners damaging or losing your clothes for you to need an attorney. It is not so much as needing an attorney in this case but using and attorney. Most people would not even think of calling and attorney or something like this but if you have a legal plan, you can.
They also briefly talked about the benefits of having the Identity Theft Shield along with the legal plan. Identity theft is more than just credit card fraud. It's someone actually using your identity things your are not aware of but eventually could cost you a lot of money and a lot of grief. With identity theft being a growing problem, it only makes sense for people to be proactive and have some kind of protection in place. You never know when you may be a victim of this crime that is sweeping country.
Harland Stonecipher, the founder and CEO of Pre-Paid Legal, was also on the show. He talked about how he founded the company due to him having a car accident that was not his fault but he was sued. That is odd but true. He ended up with a pile of legal bills after trying to defend himself. He decided that something needed to be done to protect people like himself. He had coverage for his doctor bills, car insurance for his car, and life insurance if he had died but he had nothing for his legal expenses. He did his research and found nothing here in America for legal protection. So along came Pre-Paid Legal which has been around for over 30 years. To have been around that many years, you must say they must be doing something right. Someone did think so because Pre-Paid Legal is publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol PPD.
Mike Moore, attorney general for the state of Mississippi, was the host of the television program. Other attorney generals were featured on the program and they all believed that PPl's legal plan was a good product to give average people legal protection. They gave real life examples of how the legal plan can be used to help people with everyday legal problems that occur, which most people would normally do nothing about because of the high cost of legal representation. They showed how having access to an attorney at an affordable price can allow you to know and exercise your rights whenever you need to.
The program can be seen again real soon on Court TV. I will keep you posted on the next scheduled program. In the meantime, you can click here and see a similar movie presentation.
Sorry, I got to run!
