WHAT IS A LEGAL SERVICES PLAN?
Think of it as affordable "legal protection" that operates just like many major health care plans. The Educator's Shield group plan will be administered through the Broward County School Board's Benefits Department as a complement to the existing benefit plans currently in place.

WHO ARE WE?
U.S. Legal Services was founded in 1974 and dedicated from the beginning to provide the broadest and most comprehensive legal service plan available to consumers anywhere in the United States. There are many types of legal plans in the market today. Some provide consultation only; some offer discounted attorney fees; and some provide a toll-free number where an attorney may be located in another city or state. Our plan is designed so that the client will have access to local attorneys in the community where they live or work. In operation, the plan is simple. Plan members are provided with an online attorney lookup so they may choose their own attorney. The plan member does not need to consult us for approval nor do they need to complete a claim form. They simply call their chosen attorney and set up an appointment to meet with him/her and the attorney takes care of the rest. Members also have the option of calling U.S. Legal to get an attorney specific to their needs.
