A New type of Legal Benefit:

The ADJA is bringing an amazing benefit that no other DJ Group or DJ association has. Introducing LegalShield, ADJA has gone above and beyond to provide amazing benefits and this is one of them. One of the most overlooked aspects in having and running a company is personal and company legal protection. We prepay for health insurance, we prepay for our auto insurance, we also prepay for many other services, does it not make sense to prepay for our Legal Services as well? Have you ever received  a ticket? have you ever had legal questions about your business about copyrights, patents, leasing, purchasing, trademarks etc? Have you ever noticed someone using your logo? Is your contract up to date and truly composed in a way that will protect you against “unhappy” customers. Have you ever taken your vehicle to a mechanic who you did not feel did the job correctly?  what about collecting payments from customers who have chosen not to pay? Legal protection is a protection that every person and businesses should have and starting at under $20 per month it is a service that many can afford.

Trial Defense

Your trial benefits will begin with 75 hours of attorney time available to you in your first year [17.5 hours of pre-trial time + 57.5 hours of trial time]. This is an additional 15 hours of pre-trial time than the regular plan offers. Remember, your pre-trial hours are those hours when your attorney is researching and preparing for your case. So these hours can be crucial to the outcome of your lawsuit.

With the Expanded Plan, your benefit hours increase each year, through your 5th year of membership:

Your Expanded LegalShield Plan Covers:

1. The member
2. The member’s spouse
3. Never-married dependent children of the member or member’s spouse who are under 21 and living at home
4. Children under age 18 for whom the member or member’s spouse is the legal guardian

Additional Information: Provider law firms may be prevented by ethical rules from presenting a claim, defense, or legal position that the law firm believes to be frivolous or without merit. It is up to the Provider Lawyer’s professional judgment as to whether or not your claim, defense or legal position may prevail in court or is frivolous or without merit. Emergency services are subject to conditions imposed by the detaining/questioning authority.

25% off additional legal services: During the term of your membership, you may use your Provider Law Firm for legal situations that are outside plan coverage. These additional services are offered at a negotiated rate that is at least 25% less than the Provider Attorney’s standard Rate. Your Provider Law Firm will let you know when this discount applies and go over these fees with you.

After initial consultation, the following are covered under your 25% discount:

• Lawsuits filed due to conditions that were foreseeable prior to enrollment.
• Charges of DUI/DWI, drug-related matters, hit-and-run, leaving the scene of an accident, unmeritorious cases, issues resulting from operating a commercial vehicle with more than two axles.
• Bankruptcy, divorce, separation, annulment, child custody, other divorce-related matters.
