Providing legal and identity theft services

Legal Services Plan

Legal Resources offers a comprehensive Legal Services Plan for you and your qualified dependents. The plan provides 100 percent coverage for you, your spouse, and qualified dependents (children up to the age of 19, or 26 if a full-time student) for the most often needed legal services. For $17 a month, you have access to a network of top-rated law firms in your area and nationwide, with coverage in all 50 states. Whether your matter is for an everyday legal need, or a result of an unexpected event, you and your family are protected from the high cost of attorney fees. 

Employees can enroll within their first 60 days of employment as a new hire or during September of each year when the university holds annual open enrollment for optional benefits 

You pay no attorney fees for all fully covered services, which include will preparation, traffic court, real estate matters, divorce, billing disputes, and more. Pre-existing legal matters and less common legal needs are also covered at a 25 percent discount.
