For the whole family
Our plans automatically cover everyone in your immediate family, including spouses and children up to 19 years old. (Or up to 23 years old for students.)
Any attorney, anywhere
With LawGuard, you have the power to choose absolutely any attorney you want. Some products only pay up if you work with someone from a limited network of law firms.
Checks at every step
Going to trial is the most expensive part of the legal process, but that’s when some companies stop covering your costs. Our plans include pre-trial and trial expenses, so you’re covered until the case is closed or your policy limits are reached.
Disappearing deductible
Deductibles can be confusing, but here’s the deal: This is the only legal insurance with a disappearing deductible. That means your deductible goes down every year until it reaches $0 – and stays there.
