WELCOME TO THE CSEA PRE-PAID LEGAL SERVICES PLAN
…And Congratulations!
You have a powerful tool that can help you and your family better manage the legal challenges which confront all of us in today’s complex world – a Pre-Paid Legal Services Plan.
With the new Legal Services Plan, CSEA has provided you with access to a local law firm with 52 attorneys on staff and hundreds more throughout New York State and the United States of America who are available to assist you with your most personal legal problems. In the event of a legal emergency, like an accident or arrest, your attorneys are available 24-hours to answer your call. The benefit reference guide provides the contact telephone numbers as well as a description of all covered benefits.
And best of all, in most cases, there will be NO COST to you for the Legal Services Plan Attorneys.
With this new plan, many of the legal benefits used by our members are now FREE!
For Legal Services Plan coverage that is not free, the hourly or fixed attorneys’ rates will be offered at a significantly reduced rate.
Remember … The next time you tell someone “You’ll be hearing from my lawyer”, THEY WILL!
