How to Cancel LegalShield in 2026

Updated February 2026 · 4 min read

LegalShield costs $24.95-$49.95/month for access to a "provider law firm" for phone consultations, document review, and basic legal services. It's also an MLM (multi-level marketing) company, which is why you may have been sold on it by a friend or family member rather than through normal advertising.

How to Cancel

1. Call 1-800-654-7757 (Mon-Fri 7am-7pm CST)
2. Say "I want to cancel my LegalShield membership"
3. Have your member number ready (check your welcome email)
4. They'll try retention offers — decline if done
5. Get written confirmation of cancellation

You can also send a written cancellation request to: LegalShield, One Pre-Paid Way, Ada, OK 74820. Include your name, member number, and cancellation request.

Is LegalShield Worth It?

For most people, no:

• $300-600/year for services most people use 0-1 times per year
• Phone consultations are brief — typically 30 minutes, and complex issues get referred out
• Attorney quality varies: You're assigned a "provider firm," not choosing your own lawyer
• Document review is limited: Simple contracts only, complex agreements need separate counsel

Cheaper/Free Alternatives

• ARAG or MetLife Legal Plans ($10-20/month): Employer-sponsored legal plans, often cheaper
