Attorneys
Our international network of over 15,000 attorneys is professionally managed. Attorneys in our network average 19.4 years of experience. All plan-member attorneys must have a "BV" or better rating if listed in Martindale-Hubbell, provide us with a certificate of liability insurance, whether their state requires it or not, be in good standing with their respective state bar, have a law office in their respective state and carry a "Courtesy Rating" of "B" or better. In addition, a quarterly background disciplinary report with each state's attorney disciplinary department.
Courtesy ratings as well as background checks are done every three months. In addition, attorney firms must complete quarterly surveys reaffirming the accuracy of our database and knowledge of the plan. Besides Courtesy Rating surveys and quarterly background checks, we answer to our members. Problems that arise with a particular attorney are documented and can ultimately lead to expulsion from our network of attorneys.
Upon enrollment, our members are immediately assigned an attorney and given a mailed welcome package. Attorney assignments are based on language spoken, area of law needed, and geographical location. Any additional attorney assignments or reassignments are given via an 800 number over the phone.
