Common misconceptions about LegalShield

1. “LegalShield is a pyramid scheme.”

Misconception: People assume that because LegalShield uses a multi-level marketing (MLM) model, it must be a pyramid scheme.

Reality:

LegalShield is a legitimate direct sales company. Associates earn commissions primarily from selling legal service plans, not just from recruiting others. It offers real, valuable services to customers, and its compensation plan is compliant with FTC guidelines.

2. “You have to be a lawyer to use or sell LegalShield.”

Misconception: Some believe LegalShield is only for legal professionals or that you need legal training to become an associate.

Reality:

LegalShield is designed for everyday people. You don’t need to be a lawyer to use the service or to become an associate. The company partners with licensed law firms to provide the legal services—associates simply refer customers.

3. “LegalShield only helps with minor legal issues.”

Misconception: People think LegalShield is only useful for things like traffic tickets or basic legal questions.

Reality:

LegalShield covers a wide range of legal services, including:

• Contract and document review

• Will preparation

• Family law matters

• Consumer protection

• Trial defense services

And more depending on the plan and state.

4. “It’s too good to be true—legal help can’t be that affordable.”

Misconception: The low monthly cost makes some skeptical about the quality of service.

Reality: LegalShield works by pooling members’ fees to provide access to top-tier law firms. It’s similar to a legal co-op or subscription model, which allows for affordable, high-quality legal access.

5. “You can’t make real money with LegalShield.”

Misconception: Some assume that LegalShield is just a hobby or side hustle with little income potential.

Reality: Many associates earn significant income, especially those who consistently qualify for the Performance Club and build teams. LegalShield offers residual income, bonuses, and incentive trips for top performers.

6. “LegalShield is only for individuals, not businesses.”

Misconception: People often think LegalShield only offers personal legal plans.

Reality: LegalShield also offers small business legal plans and employee benefits packages, helping companies and entrepreneurs access affordable legal support.
