How many times have you had a customer or client ask your advice on a matter?
Many are just innocent questions. Is this the best intrest rate I can get? Will this Home Owners Plan do everything I want it to do? Should I use "XYZ" roofing company or not?
Most of us have had client/customers ask our opinion on various contracts or situations, which will involve spending some money. This is normally ok, EXCEPT when something goes wrong, then they want us to bail them out or be reponsible for any corrective actions that are required.
Most of us, who been have in the business awhile know that any time a questions is posed that will require some type of a contract, the smart answer is, "I am not an attorney and you need to run that by one."
The problem then becomes, they do not have one. This is where PRE-PAID LEGAL SERVICES come in. For a small monthly fee they have 24/7 access to an attorney that will be able to answers and assist with most of their questions.
I then send them to this link for a review of what services are offered...

I own the plan and have used it several times. One situation was resolved with a phone call from the attorney. A landlord/tenant issue was resolve for regaining possesion of a rental property where the person was arrested and in county jail and small children were involved by following my attorney's specific recommendations. I had my property back in less than 35 days!
I avoid having to use my "E&O" insurance by recommending people to this service.

Are there any other success stories out there?
Hope this helps someone.
