The thing is..........
I've owned this site "ChrisHaskell.com" for YEARS
...aimed at casting directors ... regarding acting / narrating / broadcasting / seminars / public speaking / speech coaching ...
So it's been jammed with SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT and BRAGGING-on-STEROIDS to impress casting directors.
However, since "getting off the bus" in L.A. years ago, there are better places on line for this. ...places to grovel
...to kiss up ...to offer casting directors the
---------------> GOLDEN opporTUNITY !!?? <------ to cast me.
So "it's a new day" AND
there's a new interest of mine--LegalShield.
Either topic--thank you for your interest.
In the best sense of the show biz wish, may we all: "Break a Leg !!"

A PERSONAL NOTE TO THOSE WHO KNOW ME
My retirement's dandy. Why LegalShield now? Gratefully, LUCKILY "it's not 'the money'."
It IS: Altruism. (Believe it or not. To an extent.)
Because: I've USED LegalShield
For PRESENT legal situations +
FUTURE ones (as insurance) +
If I had HAD LegalShield in past--it'd have saved TONs of time, stress, money. Examples:
--When I had to "make a federal case" of a wrongful termination--
for which I WAS made a settlement offer but AFTER time/stress/money.
--The theft of a priceless irreplaceable family hierloom (being slandered in the process).
--A budding, hot-ticket young entrepreneur I became ?? "The President of my own corporation." Yeah, but MUCH more expensively and LESS effectively than needed--
spending time/stress/money doing what today's "LLC" does
via LegalShield for a $1/day prepaid legal insurance.
--Or...on death of a relative in another state, ALL those sad duties could have been lessened
by an attorney's attention to a power of attorney--
useless with its 2 original signatures vs. the 3 that state required, etc.
--Affordable access for appropriately SPECIALIZED lawyer(s) IF, WHEN, WHERE needed.
Allow me to add my "altruism" thinking:
LegalShield's good for anyone who can't comfortably afford lawyers at $200-$300 / hour).
But--it's especially, maybe life-changing-good
...for all of us who can't afford lawyers (comfortably / uncomfortably / no way)
if things "get serious" / expensive-as-all-hell in legal situations such as ?:
Threats of being sued.
Your car / truck / golf cart / your gun / your biting dog causing injury or death
Because of your actions / your kids' / spouse or significant other.
Other examples:
You just want to ask a few questions about........
Your car insurance--costing more "points" after an accident?
Your will.
Your property line?
Your gun?
Your dog biting someone?
Parking ticket?
Contracts for leasing solar power systems?
Repair deals gone wrong?
Your noisy neighbor?
Uncontested divorce?
Your powerS of attorney (Two kinds--the financial or medical care called a "health care directive"--
BOTH kinds of powers of attorney plus your WILL are included (for you plus spouse or significant other).
Now please imagine ............. WITHOUT LegalShield, what'd we do ....... ? ? ?????
...............uh............ ...we'd....
Ask the brother-in-law who watched a lot of "Law and Order" and "COULD HAVE" gone to law school if only.............. ?
We'd GO ONLINE ?? Possibly WHILE STRESSing under THREATs and worries of being sued...
We'd HOPE we'd find the RIGHT attorney
In the right SPECIALTY
in the applicable STATE or Canadian province
...costing 2 - $300+ hour.
........... go downtown? / park? / up to 15th floor? / "by appointment" ...

DEATH. TAXES. Lawyers can be EXPENSIVE. Lawyers SPECIALIZE. STATE laws differ.

Why--now in my life--LegalShield?
After some nifty careers--television advertising (a real "Mad Man" in my Madison Avenue office) - broadcasting--on-air news, sports, sales manager
- 2 wars overseas in 26 years navy (active + reserve) as a "mustang officer"
(promoted "up through the ranks" from navy Journalist Petty Officer toward commander...) ?
Because: At age "70-something"..... I reviewed my life's "legal situations."
Not "law suits" necessarily
Situations (people average 4-6 / year) where it would have saved money / stress / time IF I'd had...
AFFORDABLE access ($1 / day, a month at a time--no contracts)
to
appropriately LOCATED (CA - Missouri - Boston - NH - NY),
appropriately SPECIALIZED lawyer(s).
...for me to CONSULT attornies
--in SPECIALTIES affecting me--theft / slander / entertainment law / literary property / real estate / family law / estate planning / elder law...
--to have LETTER(s) written and / or
--PHONE CALL(s) made
--BY AN ATTORNEY for MY INTERESTS.
(Included in "Family Membership." $30 / month).
How QUICKLY "accessible" ?

http://PMagoffin.WeAreLegalShield.com
Wife Patricia Magoffin has rep'd LegalShield for 24 years.
(Since it was called "Pre-Paid Legal" founded 50 years ago.)

I'm not a lawyer so I've never knowledgeably read them re:
RENT DEPOSITS.
Buying or leasing CARS, HOUSES, service contracts...
--Traffic tickets / moving violations / insurance "points" / rate increases
(My $350 Beverly Hills parking ticket was FORGIVEN.)
--Going to war (Vietnam + Desert Storm)--"putting one's affairs in order."
--A Will + Power of Attorney (financial and / or "health directive"...)
My will was done in the Pentagon by navy lawyers. I was sent to a couple wars overseas.
However, we LegalShield members get UPDATES--or a complete NEW WILL--FROM SCRATCH
For member + spouse or significant other.
Power(s) of Attorney...
My out-of-state relative's POA was useless, it turned out
(adding to already sad stress when I travelled across the USA) because ??
the 2, original signatures were in a state that required 3 (New Hampshire).
--2 marriages.
--1 divorce (included in LegalShield coverage if no-fault and <$100,000 assets.)
--Incorporating (my businesses).
--Collecting MONEY (owed in my businesses).
--Making "a federal case" of a government agency employment dispute.
--Being a notary.
--Theft of my priceless, irreplaceable family heirloom &, I allege, being slandered in that process.
