Doesn't really reassure me much. The various laws being what they are, and this coming from a lawyer, I'd like to know how the attorney situation through these services, whichever one you choose, works. Are you obligated to use the attorney of their choosing or are you able to seek out your own attorney and have them pick up the tab? I for one will say this, even though I practice in the area of criminal defense, if the situation were to arise that I had to defend myself and wound up facing a criminal or civil jury, I'd feel much better placing my fate in the hands of one of my trusted colleagues rather than trying my own case. After all, an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client.
That also brings me to the question of the services' attorney's qualifications. Are these folks that they have on staff who are admitted to practice in a number of jurisdictions by way of reciprocity or having passed the bar and then just staying in good standing by keeping current on their continuing education requirements and not getting jammed up on their annual registration, or are they in fact folks that live and breathe litigation in the specific jurisdiction. For me, there's just way too many questions that remain unanswered even after looking over the policy contract that's online when you add to cart.
