A PERSONAL NOTE TO THOSE WHO KNOW ME
My retirement is dandy. Why LegalShield now?
Gratefully, LUCKILY it's not "the money" (believe it or not)
It IS: Altruism. (Believe it or not.)
Because: I've USED LegalShield
For past & PRESENT legal situations
FUTURE ones too (as LEGAL INSURANCE--imagine a car accident, hearing from the other guy "YOU're at fault...you'll hear from my LAWYER...")
In past, IF I had HAD LegalShield--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** only AFTER time / stress / money spent.
-- Theft of priceless irreplaceable family hierloom (being slandered in the process).
-- A hot-ticket young entrepreneur, I became ?? "The president of my own corporation." .......Fine. BUT more expensively & LESS effectively than necessary--
spending time / stress / money doing what today's "LLC" does via LegalShield for a $1/day.
--Or...upon death of relative in another state, sad duties could have been lessened
by an attorney IN-THAT-STATE re power of attorney. Instead, POA was USELESS because it had 2 original signatures--THAT STATE required 3.
--Affordable access to SPECIALIZED lawyer(s) I F , W H E N , W H E R E needed.
What's this about my "Altruism" ??:
LegalShield is good for anyone who can't comfortably afford $200-$300+ per hour for lawyers.
It's ESPECIALLY, maybe life-changing terrific
...for us who can't afford lawyers (comfortably / uncomfortably)
if things "get serious" -- get expensive-as-all-hell:
Death or injury caused--or alleged to be caused--by your car / truck / golf cart / your gun / your dog / by you / your spouse / your child.
ALSO ?? there are lesser things that come up:
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?
Divorce? (included if: uncontested, involving up to $100,000, divorce coverage after 3 months' subscription to LegalShield)
Your powerS of attorney (There are two kinds--the financial or medical care (called a "health care directive")--
BOTH kinds PLUS your WILL are included (for you plus spouse or significant other).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Soooooo ?? imagine ............. WITHOUT LegalShield, what'd we do ....... ? ? ?????
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 ?? Probably WHILE STRESSing under THREATs and worries of being sued...
We'd HOPE: we'd find the RIGHT attorney
In the right SPECIALTY AND LOCATION
Covering the applicable STATE or Canadian province
...costing $200 - $300+ hour.
...we'd go downtown? / park? / up to 15th floor? / "by appointment" ...

-------> Chris' "Deeeeeeeeeep Thoughts" <---------
On Topic: "THINGS GUARANTEED in LIFE !???"
DEATH. TAXES. Lawyers can be EXPENSIVE. Lawyers SPECIALIZE. STATE laws differ.

http://PMagoffin.WeAreLegalShield.com
In my life, why LegalShield?
After nifty careers in television advertising (a real "Mad Man," Madison Avenue's Crane Media) - 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"
where it would have saved money / stress / time IF I had had...
AFFORDABLE access ($1 / day, month at a time--no contracts)
to
appropriately LOCATED lawyers (CA - Missouri - Boston - NH - NY),
appropriately SPECIALIZED. ...to CONSULT
--in SPECIALTIES affecting me--that would have included: theft / slander / entertainment law / literary property / real estate / family law / estate planning / elder law / review of contract up to 15 pages long...
--to have LETTER(s) written & / or
--PHONE CALL(s) made
--BY AN ATTORNEY on my behalf.
(Included in "Family Membership." $30 / month).
How QUICKLY do I get on phone w/ LegalShield attorney?
Consultations with an attorney, on phone, M-F--within 8 hours.
I HAVE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED: 2 to 4 hours from the time I click the LegalShield APP.
OR at my REQUESTED TIME Monday-Friday.
EMERGENCIES ANY TIME (examples--son or daughter / young driver car accident in distant city, state, or province / stopped by police / mistaken identity).

#1. Why is my wife's name on link?
http://PMagoffin.WeAreLegalShield.com
Wife Patricia Magoffin--has been a LegalShield rep' for 25 years.
(The Company LegalShield was founded 50 years ago as "PrePaid Legal")
Me ? -- 25 weeks.
She-- Has her specialty interests.
Me-- I have special interests in:
ENTERTAINMENT law.
Fellow VETERANS or
ENTREPRENEURs like I've been who're
incorporating / LLC-ing / STARTING BUSINESSES.
NOTE: You can handle signing up, etc.--everything--online.
There's no need to have us involved unless you want after you click on

More personal examples:
--Warranties, guarantees
I'm not a lawyer so never knowledgeably read them:
RENT DEPOSITS.
Buying, leasing CARS, HOUSES, service contracts...
Traffic tickets / moving violations / insurance "points" / rate increases
(Ask about my $350 Beverly Hills parking ticket--FORGIVEN.)
--Going to war (Vietnam + Desert Storm)--"putting one's affairs in order."
--A Will + Power of Attorney (financial & / 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 (with a handy online App)
For member + spouse / significant other.
Power(s) of Attorney...
My out-of-state relative's POA was useless (NOT done, included, w/LegalShield).
(Adding to already sad stress when I travelled across USA) because ??
the 2 original signatures were in a state requiring 3 (New Hampshire).
--2 marriages.
--1 divorce (included in LegalShield coverage if no-fault and <$100,000 assets.)
--Incorporating my businesses in Cambridge, MA, and elsewhere.
--Collecting MONEY (owed in my businesses).
--Making "a federal case" of a government agency employment dispute.
--Being a notary (Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My commission has expired.)
--Theft of my priceless, irreplaceable family heirloom &, I allege, being slandered in that process--not only in another state but 1/2 way across the USA.
