MetLife’s goal has always been to provide affordable, high quality legal help, and to make it easy for you to get that help. They provide access to attorneys for all of the matters above, and more, for a low monthly fee with no waiting periods, deductibles, copays, or claims forms when using a network attorney for a covered matter. Attorneys will stick with you, from start to finish, no matter how long it takes to complete your issue.
Legal help whenever you need it.
The program features:
- Access to a nationwide network of attorneys for a variety of personal legal needs including estate planning, financial matters, real estate matters, defense of civil lawsuits, family law, traffic offenses, juvenile matters and consumer protection.
- Attorney access by phone or in person for consultations and certain court appearances.
- A low cost of $21.00 per month, which covers you, your spouse and your dependents and is paid by convenient payroll deductions.
- The Plan provides access to both In-Network and Out-of-Network attorneys. Covered services provided by an In-Network attorney are generally paid in full by the Plan, while services provided by an Out-of-Network attorney are paid based on a fee reimbursement schedule up to the stated Plan maximum for that service. Whether you use an In-Network or Out-of-Network attorney, there are no waiting periods or limits on how frequently services can be used.
