Legal Services
A qualified attorney will consult with callers for up to 30 minutes on a covered question or concern.* Consultations can be telephonic or in-person with a local attorney. Meetings with in-person attorneys are scheduled ahead of time, however meetings with telephonic attorneys are often immediate.
A consultation consists of a brief analysis of the situation and advice on how to proceed. If the employee chooses to retain the referred attorney, in many cases, he or she receives up to a 25% discount off the attorney’s hourly fee. Examples of covered issues include family law, bankruptcy, adoption, elder care, wills/trusts/estate planning, consumer issues, and civil and criminal issues.
* There is no document review or creation during this free consultation. Other exclusions: employment law as it relates to employees and family members, issues related to one’s own business, class action lawsuits, and taxes.
Financial Services
Financial Assist provides access to qualified financial advisors to help callers with financial topics*, including debt and credit issues, saving money and budgeting. Since counselors address issues telephonically, they follow up with the caller by mailing supporting educational materials. Advisors are available without an appointment Monday through Friday, or through pre-scheduled Saturday appointments. Advice is objective and pressure-free, and all advisors are knowledgeable in a wide range of financial topics.
* Exclusions: tax issues, counseling, advice on or comparison of specific financial services or products
ID Recovery
The ID Recovery service provides telephonic consultations to help individuals recover from and minimize the impact of a breach of their identity.

This service can reduce time spent repairing a compromised credit history, and it can help restores peace-of-mind while helping undo the damage.
