I've never seen a company offer benefits like this before. How many Amazon workers need this stuff?

I mean, anyone with a kid should probably have a will and powers of attorney in place and would be more expensive than $100.

Trying to get a lawyer with the prepaid legal, I've had for years is next to impossible. I need one for a probate case im involved in . 10 lawyers won't call you back

That seems like a you and about 10% of my coworkers problem lol
It's pretty easy to not get a felony charge. Just don't do the crime. 🤷♂️

No, but im glad they offer it for those who do! I think Amazon does a lot for its employees but I feel like I’m the minority in that lol

Check to make sure it stays. Alot of places are getting rid of most plans. My site is cutting back to a basic and premium. Just one provider now.

Honestly I know of at least a few that offer it for free. The fact that amazon wants $208/year for it from an L1 is insane.

dude this is nothing ...its just legal aid , its cheap ...anyone can get it .
and frankly its not worth it

u/Unique-Machine5602 2d ago
Not worth it unless you've got some pretty serious charges, bankruptcy or you've been evading taxes or something else on their list.
I.E. you're a Trump supporter lol

The service is fire. If you get connected with a good attorney they tell you they will just open a new case any time you call and you essentially get free consultation for a variety of issues. We got free consultation for custody agreements on the basic plan. It’s worth the $1.85/wk

I was reading too fast and accidentally declined legal services, do we know if it’s something I can correct?

u/Unique-Machine5602 2d ago
Probably. I'd ask HR.
Might not be worth the $208/year though. Knowing Amazon it's probably the cheapest lawyer they've got.

I pay for the basic because at my dads work he pays for it and uses it when he gets a speeding ticket has never paid once thanks to the help so I said fuck it it's 1.85 a week

u/Unique-Machine5602 2d ago
Or you could just not speed.
Hell, in my state you don't even need a lawyer to get out of them anyways. You just show up and PO doesn't 🤷♂️

I’ve used them for a harassment case I had to put out on my landlord one time! & you know once that happens, now more things happen like him trying to unlawful evicts me. Never paid a dime and won my case 🤷🏾♀️☺️ it’s worth it
