PROGRAM DESCRIPTION BENEFITS
Free Consultation
Meet with a participating attorney – at the attorney’s office or by phone – on any personal legal matter you choose. There is no limit on the number of consultations you may have, provided each is about a separate matter. However, there is a 30-minute limit on any one consultation.

Free Document Review
Avoid costly mistakes by understanding what you sign. Important papers – leases, insurance policies, installment sales contracts, just to name a few – are carefully reviewed. You are provided an oral explanation of terms and your specific questions are answered. Written evaluations are not part of this service nor are documents written by you or for use in a business capacity.

Free Follow-Up Services
Sometimes a problem can be solved by having your lawyer write a letter or make a phone call on your behalf. If the participating lawyer you consult thinks so, the lawyer will write the letter or make the call – at no cost to you.

30% Discount on Additional Services
If you are faced with a more complex legal matter, your participating lawyer will charge you only 70% of the lawyer’s normal fee. In a contingent fee case – where the lawyer’s fee comes out of any recovery or award you obtain – or on a business matter, a smaller discount may apply. Also, flat fees may be available for some commonly needed services.

Written Fee Agreement
Your participating attorney will provide you with an agreement on fees. This protects you and prevents any surprises.

Quality Control
Your opinion counts! Each time you use Union Plus Legal Services, you will be asked to evaluate your lawyer and the provided service. Your lawyer will provide a simple, short form to be returned to the program administrator. You choose whether or not to identify yourself.

Grievance Procedure
In the unlikely event of a disagreement with your lawyer regarding fees or other matters, the program will try to resolve the dispute through informal mediation, or, if necessary, arbitration.

Exclusions
Because this is a union program, matters involving any union-related organization or union official are not included. In addition, a participating lawyer is not obliged to take any case and may decline if he or she so chooses.
