A Little Cheap Legal Help

Accepting Legal Guardianship of a child is a very tricky issue. The legalities involved in accepting the guardianship are sometimes very tedious and irritating. Still, if you are interested in becoming the Legal Guardian of a child, you have to bear in mind the problems you are likely to encounter. You wouldn’t like your personal life to be monitored by the court or anyone else, including the child’s parents. Your guardianship can be cancelled any time by the child’s parents. All the schools or hospitals may not accept your guardianship straight away. At the initial stages, it may be difficult to establish a rapport with the child, and once it is established, the child may not be willing to go back to his parents if they change their mind and revoke the guardianship. You may be required to fill a variety of Legal Forms to fulfill all the formalities as a Legal Guardian.

You can purchase the forms from your local bookstore, get them from a lawyer or download them from the Internet. You cannot afford to be complacent just by getting the form and filling it. You need to check the validity of the form. It may or may not be applicable to the state laws where you are located. It may not conform to the latest legal procedures, since the legal processes keep on changing with the changing social, political and economic conditions at the national or the state level.

It is, therefore, advisable to visit the local law center or the library to check the latest ‘official’ version. Or you can visit the court to get ‘court-specific’ forms, which are available from the court clerk for little or no charge.

You can seek the advice of someone who has already gone through this process and knows the ins and outs of the whole affair. A person with first-hand experience can provide valuable advice.

Here is a note of warning. Read the instructions on the form carefully before filling it. Skipping them may lead to unpleasant legal consequences.

I’d describe legal interview questions as ones that might appear a bit iffy but are actually acceptable depending on the specific job or industry you are interviewing for and depending on where you live and employment laws that apply.

Some of the legal interview questions you can be asked might be ones we’ve already discussed on this site. Some questions might simply be part of the interview process to help the employer gauge your suitability for the position and your suitability to join the company and will enquire about your:

Work experience and how it relates to the jobEducation and/or relevant certifications or trainingAbility and propensity to travel Ability to work overtime, shift work and/or weekendsAbility to legally work in the countryCriminal record (if any).

Again, local laws might dictate what constitutes legal interview questions and which questions are off limits.

Some of these questions might be necessary depending on your industry and level of position.

If you are interviewing for a job in a different country, you will need to gain the legal ability to work in that country first so this is obviously a concern for a potential employer if gaining this status might take you months or years.

If you were interviewing for a position that involved security clearance, any criminal record would obviously be an important consideration for the hiring company.

These are just two legal interview questions that might be crucial to you getting a particular job or joining a particular company.

Before you attend an interview, try to have a clear idea of possible legal interview questions that you might be asked given the job you are applying for, and given the industry you work in.

Prepaid Legal Services has become one of the largest and most successful network marketing companies ever. They offer a variety of identity theft and legal-protection services, as well as an income opportunity is someone wanted to become an associate and re-sell those services.

There are, however, some very real concerns and issues about starting or participating in a Prepaid Legal business. In this article, I will provide and unbiased review of the pros and cons of developing a Prepaid Legal business, and see if we can find out whether Prepaid Legal is a great opportunity – or a great scam.

Prepaid Legal – The Good

Pre-Paid Legal Services began in 1969 when CEO and founder Harland C. Stonecipher was involved in a vehicle accident which left him with legal bills. He began researching the industry of European legal expense plans. In August 1972, Harland Stonecipher created Pre-Paid Legal’s predecessor, The Sportsman’s Motor Club, offering legal expense reimbursement services as a motor service club. Pre-Paid Legal started selling plans through network marketing in 1983. Pre-Paid Legal went public on the NASDAQ National Market System in 1984, and two years later moved to the American Stock Exchange.

With over 1.5 million members, they are one of the largest network marketing companies in existence today. Their legal plans are sold by independent associates and can be purchased either by a one-on-one basis or in a group setting as the plans may be provided as an employee benefit. These plans provide preventive legal services, which include telephone consultation on unlimited personal legal issues, document and contract review, and will preparation.

The best thing that Prepaid Legal offers is peace of mind. Knowing that you are legally represented, that you have no danger of having your identity stolen or misused, is a very secure state of mind.

Prepaid Legal – The Bad

Prepaid Legal is a network marketing company, which means that distributor of their services can build a downline and earn income off their distribution channel.

Prepaid Legal is one of the oldest and most established network marketing companies. Being over 50 years old, the first flag that we noticed is they are using marketing techniques that worked better 50 years ago. They encourage people to use their “warm market”, i.e. friends, family, work colleagues, to grow your business.

Prepaid Legal also teaches their distributors to use the “3 foot rule”. This is where you are supposed to talk to anyone 3 feet around you about the Prepaid Legal services and opportunity. That type of thing might have worked back in 1960, but in this day and age, it simply positions the distributors as a desperate salesman looking to make a quick buck.

Prepaid Legal – The Ugly

The fact is, someone could absolutely make tons of money marketing legal service products – if they know how to market effectively. Trying to build a six-figure income on the backs of friends, family, and work associates is more than just a tough sell – it can be downright frustrating, not to mention ineffective. Trying to “sell” and convince people on the legitimacy of your product and opportunity is much less fun and much less lucrative than talking to people that have already expressed a direct interest in what you offer.

In closing, I would say that starting and developing a Prepaid Legal business is lucrative if someone knows how to market effectively. It is not a scam, but like any business, success will be determined by the skill-set of the marketer. Prepaid Legal is definitely not a lottery ticket or a stock option – meaning, you do not just buy in and wait for a payout.

If someone does not have the first clue on how to market effectively, then I would suggest they either learn how to be an effective marketer, or else just use the products and leave it at that.
