Many Major Publications
What Others are Saying…..
“Pre-Paid Legal Services provides its members with the peace of
mind of knowing that whether their child has gotten a speeding
ticket or they have had their identity stolen, they have at their
disposal attorneys to give them sound legal advice.”
Mike Moore - Advisory Council Member (Former Mississippi Attorney General)

I don’t have the name of the lawyer (who assisted me) in front of me, but he was pleasant, understanding and
efficient. He also got the letter out to my customer in pretty quick turn around. I got a call from my customer,
the day after I received my copy of the lawyer’s letter. I settled for $400 of the $885 he owed me. I know it was
a loss, but it was also a win. I could have taken him to court, and won a judgment, but then I would have to still
send a collector to get the money. I’d be out a days work, a lot of stress and paperwork to show my case etc,
and it would have distracted me until it was settled. This way, I got part of what was due, the customer learned
not to press his luck with me, and I didn’t have to fret about it for months waiting for an outcome. Please let the
lawyer know I do appreciate his work on my behalf. Thank you again.
Rick Fredlund, Utah
Thank you for connecting us with Pre-Paid Legal. We chose the Business Owners Legal Solution Plan and
have been thrilled with the response and service that we have received. The friendly folks at (my provider firm)
always returned our calls within several hours and were knowledgeable and courteous with their assistance.
We have used them to review a number of our contracts; both to our clients as well as from our vendors.
When we call for help we are able to speak with a staff attorney or referred out to one of the many local
attorneys right here in San Diego. The GoSmallBiz.com website is a wealth of resources. There are lots of
documents online that can be used as a starting point. They can be reviewed by the PPL staff and edited to
more closely match our purposes. Thank you again for your assistance with this great service.

Many Major Publications
What Others are Saying…..
“Pre-Paid Legal Services provides its members with the peace of
mind of knowing that whether their child has gotten a speeding
ticket or they have had their identity stolen, they have at their
disposal attorneys to give them sound legal advice.”
Mike Moore - Advisory Council Member (Former Mississippi Attorney General)

I don’t have the name of the lawyer (who assisted me) in front of me, but he was pleasant, understanding and
efficient. He also got the letter out to my customer in pretty quick turn around. I got a call from my customer,
the day after I received my copy of the lawyer’s letter. I settled for $400 of the $885 he owed me. I know it was
a loss, but it was also a win. I could have taken him to court, and won a judgment, but then I would have to still
send a collector to get the money. I’d be out a days work, a lot of stress and paperwork to show my case etc,
and it would have distracted me until it was settled. This way, I got part of what was due, the customer learned
not to press his luck with me, and I didn’t have to fret about it for months waiting for an outcome. Please let the
lawyer know I do appreciate his work on my behalf. Thank you again.
Rick Fredlund, Utah
Thank you for connecting us with Pre-Paid Legal. We chose the Business Owners Legal Solution Plan and
have been thrilled with the response and service that we have received. The friendly folks at (my provider firm)
always returned our calls within several hours and were knowledgeable and courteous with their assistance.
We have used them to review a number of our contracts; both to our clients as well as from our vendors.
When we call for help we are able to speak with a staff attorney or referred out to one of the many local
attorneys right here in San Diego. The GoSmallBiz.com website is a wealth of resources. There are lots of
documents online that can be used as a starting point. They can be reviewed by the PPL staff and edited to
more closely match our purposes. Thank you again for your assistance with this great service.
