In today’s increasingly litigious society, lawsuits and legal disputes continue rising across professional and personal fronts. Yet average attorney hourly rates now soar over $250+ – turning even minor conflicts into five-figure headaches. As California’s top employee benefits firm, ERB now bundles robust Legal Shield plans alongside medical, dental, and more through one seamless offering.
Breadth of Coverage
Serving over 4 million Americans already, Legal Shield is one of the largest legal insurance carriers nationwide. Their attorney network spans 50 states, allowing access wherever business or life may take you. For individuals, the Family Plan provides wide-ranging coverage across real estate, family law, debt issues, tax audits, civil lawsuits, and contracts. For employers, the Small Business Plan adds consultant calls, legal review of documents, customized manuals, and limited litigation defense. With over 10,000 pages of legal content online also included, protection against surprises is now turnkey.
Local Law at Your Fingertips
While sprawling national coverage brings peace of mind, legal issues often relate to state-specific intricacies best navigated by seasoned local counsel. Here, Legal Shield excels through established relationships with top firms across California assigned to each member. Attorney assistance starts with simple phone consults to gauge options, then extends to negotiated rates for representation if beyond initial advice. After-hours access prevents spiraling troubles for rapid response needs around accidents, arrests, detention, and other emergencies.
Engagement That Drives Adoption
Rather than simply tossing Legal Shield out as one more “voluntary benefit” in an enrollment packet, ERB designs multi-channel campaigns, driving engagement through awareness first. Our team conducts onsite visits explaining coverage applicability using real member examples and testimonials. Custom microsites allow online signup and one-on-one consultations addressing each person’s unique situation. This high-touch advocacy regularly achieves high voluntary enrollment.
An Ounce of Prevention
While no one enjoys pondering worst-case “what if” scenarios, unexpected legal conflicts can cascade quickly, even from initial missteps made in good faith. Having an expert attorney to advise on the next steps before spiraling quickly often differentiates between minor course correction and drawn-out lawsuits. Whether around a questionable employment decision, disputed home remodel bill, car accident liability apportionment, and more, Legal Shield services help steer around hazards threatening livelihoods and peace of mind.
One Less Worry
For over ten years, Employee Retention Benefits has focused solely on taking the guesswork out of benefits for California employers through expert guidance and relentless customer care. In partnership with Legal Shield, we can now deliver ironclad coverage, finally making legal representation accessible for employees at all income levels.
