Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is proud of the assistance we give the employees of our client organizations.

Attorneys proficient in various legal niches spent considerable time learning the nuances of their specialties. As a result, they often charge higher fees. Countrywide will not hesitate to refer a plan member outside our network if the need arises. Continue reading

There are services that public agencies provide, such as Medicare, transportation services, special tutors, and other forms of assistance to make life easier for many people.

A lot goes into providing high-quality employee benefits. A program can have a primary selection of benefits that will draw employees’ attention, but that is often all. There has to be more to convince employees that a given benefit is worthwhile.

Group legal plans all offer some essential options. Some, unfortunately, do not give anything more than bare-bones service. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is not like that at all.
