LegalShield / IDShield

LegalShield Provides Affordable, Easy-to-Use Legal and Identity Theft Protection for employees as a voluntary benefit. 

*employees can NOT use the legal service against their employer when offered through a voluntary group benefit 

Founded in 1972, we shield more than 4 million lives with access to legal assistance and identity protection. We serve over 40,000 employer groups through our benefit plans. LegalShield has changed the way people access legal services. We’ve removed the complexities and cost uncertainties from the process by designing plans that give employees and their families peace of mind and security:

LegalShield Plan
Expected and unexpected legal matters arise every day. LegalShield gives participants direct access to a vetted law firm for a wide range of personal legal matters, plus 24/7 access for covered emergencies. Services are easily accessible through our web portal, mobile app, or by phone, and provider lawyers respond within 8 hour or less for non-emergencies. All this is available for a small monthly fee vs. paying attorneys by the hour.

IDShield Plan
Every year, millions of people become victims of identity theft. When cyber criminals strike, it’s hard to know what to do or where to turn. IDShield monitors participants’ Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) from all angles. In the event of identity theft, we restore the participant’s identity to its pre-theft status. Our online privacy and reputation management services help participants shield their personal data, keeping it away from unwanted hands and eyes.

Combined LegalShield + IDShield Dual Plan Provides
Credit counseling and legal assistance can increase peace of mind.
Available exclusively to those with dual LegalShield and IDShield Benefits, our Identity Theft Specialists provide one-on-one counseling to help participants understand their credit score and actions that can likely impact it, both positive and negative. Participants’ provider law firms offer legal consultation on laws surrounding credit scores and lending, write letters on participants’ behalves and review documents up to 50 pages.
