Identification
-
Most prepaid legal services operate by withdrawing a certain dollar amount from each paycheck that you receive. Sold as an insurance product, typical services covered by prepaid legal policies include automotive accident recovery, intellectual law and identity theft protection. Even if you have purchased prepaid legal services, in many situations you will still need to retain the services of a lawyer at your own expense, especially in a custody case.
Communications and Advice
-
Prepaid legal service companies allow their customers to call in as many times as they would like to discuss legal advice or strategy. You can also have a prepaid legal company write numerous letters on your behalf, such as a letter requesting a personal recommendation that will benefit you in court, or correspondence requesting records from your child's school.
-
Referral Services
-
If your case requires more than legal advice over the phone or letters written on your behalf, your prepaid legal service provider will refer you to a network lawyer at a discounted rate, which is typically around 25 percent off. This percentage savings can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars in savings over the life of a custody battle.
