How long until I can speak to a lawyer after I pay for subscription?

Once your payment has been validated, you will receive an onboarding email that lists your policy number and the legal line number to call.  You can call as soon as you have this number and speak with one of our CSR’s.  They will take basic information, including what area of law you require assistance in and 3 good times for a call back.  The lawyer will connect with you at your requested time.

 

Can I call back and speak with the same lawyer?

You can call back and request the same lawyer or have a different lawyer if you feel that may be a better option for you.

 

Am I only allowed to call concerning one question?

You can have multiple questions so long as they are something the lawyer you requested can answer.  You are able to call back and request a call with a lawyer specializing in a different area of law if your question is outside of their practice area.  For example – your original call is regarding child custody, you can’t then decide you would also like to ask the lawyer about an incident that happened with your Employer.  You may need to make a second call for your additional employment concerns.
