HELP YOUR MEMBERS LEARN THE LAW, PREVENT OR
AVOID LEGAL PROBLEMS
Chances
are many of your members have been in a situation where they could have
benefited from legal advice. Have you
ever been in an accident? Has a motor vehicle or criminal complaint ever been
filed against you or a member of your family? Many individuals face these and
other types of problems. Often people do not protect their rights, only to
later face lengthy license suspensions or even jail for failure to resolve
legal problems early on. That's why
Legal Rights Seminars are offered.
This
means your members can get advice and possibly prevent legal problems before
they occur. Most importantly, they can
have peace of mind.
Americans
need an attorney when legal problems strike.
As in the case of medical services, early treatment can prevent
catastrophe and its attendant cost in time and money. For example, psychological studies have
demonstrated that there is a direct correlation between legal problems and lost
work time and productivity. Employees'
work performance often has a direct relationship to personal legal
problems. Therefore, the sooner a
solution can be found for the employees' problems, the sooner employees can
focus on their work.
In today's
complex world, few people can function successfully and safely without
competent legal advice. In order to
insure your estate plans are legally set up, you need to know exactly where you
stand so that you can avoid possibly catastrophic mistakes impacting both you
and your family. For additional information on the Legal Seminars, contact our
