What are prepaid legal services?

Another popular trend in the legal field is prepaid legal services, which are most easily described as insurance against potential lawsuits. Prepaid legal services are most common amongst middle class folks, who want to insure that - should a legal situation arise - that an attorney would be available at all times to review documents are simply consult on legal matters. The typical prepaid legal services plan provides consumers with certain specific legal services at no cost, and reduced rates for other services in exchange for a membership fee, premium, or some other sort of prepayment. In general, a good prepaid legal services plan will cover not only you, but like other insurance policies, it will cover your spouse and other dependents in your family.
