Never heard of them, but your argument is very subjective. "They sound like used car salesmen." Got something more concrete? That's like "yer mama dresses you funny." Different things to different people.

Legal protection for $10 a month? I have a prepaid legal service, but it provides a discount should litigation be required. There is no way in hell you get complete representation for $10 a month.

Oh yeah. And attorney / client privilege has nothing to do with cases tried, cases won, etc. it prevents exposing who a client is, why they needed a lawyer, and case details. Statistics are not privileged to my knowledge. Any attorney worth his salt brags on it. (Your welcome Sig)

, you are mistaken. The represent you through conclusion of trial. Civil and criminal. You too, should research.

I only ask because I value your opinion, but do you pay for any service of this type?

No one was there to talk with us during our class but TLS was mentioned briefly by our instructor.

No, currently I don't. I still need to do my due diligence in researching what's available out there before deciding on what I may end up choosing to sign up for in the future.

$10 per month with no additional charges if a case arises?

Yes

 

[Younggun]

They do not cover expert witnesses and a couple other things but the lawyer is paid from the time you call until the trial is over.

You shouldn't guess to support your argument. They have defended people and have won. Go to their website and read the archived newsletters. Learn first, then comment

I stand corrected....it very well may be worthwhile to spend the $10.95/month or annual fee on this service....some of the cases there are an eye opener that I would have never thought about and they stood by their clients.

Go read their agreement. The answer is yes.

Just signed up.
$10.95 a month is cheap insurance against 10's or 100's of thousands of dollars of lawyer fees.

It should also be noted that they will answer non-firearm related legal questions as well.

At an ammo store in Houston, a cop there said he thought it was good. They make plenty of money since the likelihood of having to use them is very low. I bought the coverage for me and my wife with interstate coverage for $320 per year I think. If I EVER had to use it it would pay for itself for sure unless it is a scam, but I haven't heard anything negative about them so far...

That's sounds right. About the same as my m/c insurance... And covers much more liability. Hope they will come through if I need em!

 

[deemus]

Yes

That's a hell of a benefit then. Never seen one with that benefit. Its always a discounted rate or something along those lines.

Very cool.

I remember hearing their sales "pitch". One thing I'd like to add, in case if it hasn't been mentioned, is that even if you don't sign up with them, the rep said they'll cover your case for $25,000. That's pretty cheap from what I understand. My CHL instructor paid something like $135,000. for his lawyer fees after he had to shoot an armed guy coming at him and his wife at a gas station.

I believe that is their retainer if you are not a client already.

I'd like to hear the rest of that story...

I'm not familiar with "legal-ese". What's that, just something that guarantees their services, but doesn't cover their per-hour charges?

OK, I'm going from memory from my CHL class about a year ago.

I took my CHL class at "Dallas Concealed Carry" - the teacher was Dan Harmon (or something like that).

His "shooting event" was back in the early '90's, before Texas CHL, before the castle law, etc. I believe - I'm not that familiar with the dates of these things. (EDIT...now I see that TX got concealed carry in the 80's)

He told the class his story. They were from Lubbock and came to Dallas to see a Garth Brooks concert at Reunion Arena. After the show, he and his wife got lost, went into a bad part of town (Oak Cliff) and got low on gas. He stopped his truck at the station, got out, and this guy from across the parking lot was walking swiftly towards him, raising a gun up gradually as he walked (or jogged). Daniel pulled out his handgun and put eight .45's into this guy's chest as he ran and fell (unbelievable!). The first cop arrived and it turns out she actually knew the guy who had been shot. She questioned Daniel and was filling out a form - she asked Daniel if he attempted to retreat. Daniel said something to this effect - "no but I didn't want to leave my wife here with this gunman." But all she writes down is "no" - without his explanation. Later they found that the bad guy's gun was empty...it looked like an attempted armed robbery with an empty gun. Anyway, I think it took a couple of years to get this whole thing resolved...he was found "not guilty" and owed his lawyer $135K for all of his time.

I remember Daniel saying he lost tons of weight (75 lbs or something). He said for months he couldn't eat or sleep much. He was a good instructor...if you're around the Dallas area I'd recommend him.

A retainer means you have hired them. You pay them that fee for them to get started. Your fees are taken from the retainer.

Question: Will TLS defend you in a SD case where you use a weapon other than a firearm?......like a knife or cane?.....
