The company called legalshield is a multi level marketing (MLM) entity which provides inexpensive legal aid and identity theft protection to people across the US and Canada on payment of a small monthly premium.
In return you become a member of the legalshield fraternity which can avail legal aid from highly qualified top ranking legal firms whose services would otherwise be unaffordable to the common man. Membership entitles you to an identity card which can be used during any emergency faced by members which requires legal assistance.
The legal assistance basically covers help in finalising will documents, motor vehicle legal expenses including damages, compensation and personal injury, trial defense and IRS audit defense. The legalshield card also informs law enforcing agencies that you have legal cover when they move to arrest you for any charge.
In case of identity theft you will be immediately informed of suspicious activity in any of your personal accounts, and your name and credit rating will be restored if you pay the small additional premium for this service. The company also pays you commission if you promote their services and attract new members to the scheme.
