Capped Hourly Rate
Legal Club plan attorneys contract to never charge more than $75.00 per hour for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services. This is where tremendous savings is realized. After the free letters, calls and consultations take place, members and their attorneys will have to decide what course of action to take next. In most cases, members will have no choice and litigation may ensue. This is the point in time that Legal Club plan attorneys charge the $75.00 hourly rate for legal care.
This represents up to a 70% savings off an attorney's usual hourly rate. The savings with Legal Club will be thousands of dollars.
Discount on Contingency Based Cases
Contingency fee will be a 10% reduction of the state maximum rate or the attorney's usual rate, whichever is lower. All Areas of Law Are Included.
Free Lifetime Membership Eligibility
After a Legal Club member has paid six (6) years worth of membership fees, they receive their Legal Club membership free for life. In the event a member's spouse survives them, they too will receive the benefits of membership, for free, for the remainder of their life.
All employees who officially retire from state service and have paid for three (3) years of Legal Club membership will be entitled to a free lifetime membership upon retirement.
Identity Theft Solutions
If a Member becomes a victim of personal identity theft, a Recovery Advocate will help the member restore their identity to its pre-theft state. The advocate will assist with the recovery process from beginning to end.
Recovery Team Benefits
- Assess the extent of the damage
- Notifying the three major credit bureaus
- Place fraud alerts with each bureau
- Create a customized recovery plan
- Assist the Member with the restoration of their personal identity to its pre-theft state
Identity Theft Insurance Coverage
Each Member will also receive up to $25,000 worth of identity theft insurance coverage* to help offset some of the cost associated with restoring one's identity.
*This insurance is underwritten by a nationally recognized Insurance Carrier with an "A" or better AM Best Rating. Identity theft insurance is not available in NY State.
