That's good information. I was not aware of that, even though when you say it, it makes perfect sense. A prepaid legal expense plan is different from insurance...right?

On the other hand, we had to ban two "Members" who are connected with one of the plans because he/they joined solely to promote their program under the guise of responding to questions. They painted rosy pictures about the plan, but never responded to questions about what isn't covered/provided.

There will always be trolls. If you avoid a topic because of them, then many many topics will be off limits, and this plus all the forums will have little reason to exist. Someone asks here, "How about that MagicGun 9-45" Someone else gives a glowing report of its qualities. That person might be a gun owner or might be a Magicgun employee. That's one reason we have moderators like you--to catch 'em. Thank you.

Humm, And, I was trusting everything on this board
Yep, back in the 2001 Stock market crash, I lost some funds by a group running a Boiler room, as I had found out later..
I have learned my lesson, and do my own researcher
BUT, I will admit, dealing with lawyers (No offense Charles

) and the details of the working of a law office, it is hard do decide. Expectantly on a subject as this..
My plan

at least the best I came up with, I have chose a law office, and after much research I believe it will work for me, and as Charles states, I personally will not disclose the firm I use.
My plan, IF someone had to uses this firm, for a shooting, it will most likely be BIG News (like Joe Horn), I see how they work..
Also, I would not want someone to use the same firm, based on my comments. I found, that I'm not always correct

at least that what my wife says

Once again too much information is not a good thing. I have read all the responses, in this link, and now more confused than before. Guess I will just pick one (leaning towards [pre-paid legal]) and then see what happens if I am unfortunate enough to have to call upon their services. It appears that no one has any real life experiences to draw from. Lawyers and their contracts will always have a clause or two, written in small letters and in legalize, to cover themselves and to be able justification to withdraw. But who else do we have?
