<p>hi parents,</p>

<p>have you ever heard of this company?</p>

<p>pre-paid legal: <a href=“http://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/index.html[/url]”>http://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>one of my friends is trying to recruit me to join (as she probably gets some money for recruiting a new associate). </p>

<p>is this another scam, or is it legit? thanks</p>

<p>anybody heard of this? (bump)</p>

<p>Pre-paid Legal is a legitimate business. You will receive quality services in return for your money. Whether or not you should join, however, is completely an individual choice based on your circumstances.</p>

<p>my friend involved claims it is legit. i realize it’s a triangle/pyramid business, but for some reason, this one sounded more legit than some of the scam ones out there… until tlaktan posted those links. haha</p>

<p>I’m a happy client.</p>

<p>I’d rather use a large, well known, and comprehensive law firm (Prepaid Legal’s, lawfirm network) rather than thumbing through the yellow pages when I need a lawyer. I’ve done the latter, and was not impressed. Doing the former got me much better results. </p>

<p>Hey, its insurance but for legal matters. If you don’t believe in insurance, don’t sell it or buy it. If you don’t have assets to protect-don’t buy it. If you are under 30- don’t sell it, you won’t understand it.</p>
