 When you or a household member has a legal concern, wouldn’t it be great
to just pick up the phone, receive legal advice and not have to worry
about the cost? Well now you can do just that!
UCA has secured participation for members and their households
in “The Legal Plan", a
national program with over 22,000 participating attorneys. Your entire household can call any time during normal business hours
(8:30 AM to 7:30 PM EST) or visit a plan attorney to get unlimited legal
advice about any new legal matter and you won’t have to worry about the
cost. The plan attorney will discuss your legal questions with you and
assist you in reaching a solution to your problem. The plan attorney can
review important legal documents (6 page maximum), draft a simple will or
write letters on your behalf, all at no charge.
Membership Benefits
Seven Free Services:
Unlimited phone consultations for each new legal matter
Face-to-face consultations for each new legal matter
Review of important legal documents (6 page max.)
A free simple will with free annual update
Help representing you in small claims court
Letters written on the member's behalf
Phone calls made on the member's behalf
Capped Hourly Rate:
Legal Plan attorneys contract to never charge more than $125 per hour
for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services. No
competitor in the nation can make this claim or match us. This is where
the real savings take place. After the free letters, calls and
consultations take place, members and their attorneys will have to decide
what course of action to take next. In some cases, members may not have a
choice and litigation may ensue. This is the point where the attorneys
charge the $125 hourly rate for legal care. Discount on contingency-based
cases will be a 10% reduction of the state maximum rate or the
attorney’s usual rate, whichever is lower.
Law Areas Included:
All areas are included in the Legal Plan. LP does not exclude any
type of law area.
