“Reliable Service”

Robert T.
3/22/24

After four years of not communicating with LegalZoom they were extremely cooperative on getting my account recovered and up to date. When it came to federal law they were prompt to keep me updated on mandates and regulations. Very professional and well mannered business.

Top Critical Review

“Long wait times, bad customer support, and no refunds.”

Samuel A.
8/5/24

The most horrible customer support and the longest wait times I have ever experienced. I purchased an LLC package with all the bells and whistles to include expedited processing. After two months of waiting, broken promises from customer support ("It will be finished today, we are so sorry for the wait..."), many unanswered questions, no contact, hours on the phone and in chat rooms, and a refusal to refund services not rendered, I cannot recommend LegalZoom.

Very helpful- not a sales guy, which is why I kept listening to him. Will be calling him back regarding accounting systems that we discussed. Excellent service and expertise!

Frank was thorough, answered every question, and fast with his responses. And, he did not "hard sell" any products, which is appropriate given that he cannot give legal advice.

I'm a big fan of how fast and easy everything is with LegalZoom. Definitely would recommend if I had reason to form a new company again in the future.

Don't do it. I'm on the phone with them right now trying to figure out why I was billed an extra $467.94 from the initial bill. We're approaching 19 minutes on a hold. This is ridiculous.

DO NOT trust Legal Zoom. I ONLY needed to file my LLC. Was quoted 299.99. Once billed over $700.00. Upon FIRST sight of bill demanded ALL recurring charges STOPPED. Requested over 6 times. STILL getting charges. Today prompted THIS review due to A NEW CHARGE of 21.79 from EARTH CLASS MAIL. I DO NOT NEED these services. Will unnecessarily

Sean Wolf helped me get my LLC established. He was patient and informative in the process. Only took about 15 minutes and I was confident that everything had been done accurately.

Worst experience ever! They will sit on your documents, say there are delays with your govt agencies, and give you any excuse to make you think it is not their poor service.

My frist experience by e-mail was with your customer service legal team who went the extra mile to assist me as I'm not a registered member, but a POA of a party who vaulted his information in 2012. I provided the information and order numbers and was directed to Estate Planning and was lucky to get a most patient lady named Jennifer who had so much patience with an 81 year old who is a bit slow on the computer. However, with her help and patience I was able to get the information I was seeking. The teams and Jennifer would compliment any organization and many I've dealt with don't come close to those I mentioned.My experience was a FIVE STAR.

This is a straight BS mill, they know how to string you along. Might as well fill out all the forms yourself, because it may end up being faster or the same wait time as using this company.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid if you can. Use professionals in real life not digitally, people who may be doing your legal work in their underwear at home while eating Cheetos.

Bunch of lying thieves good only at charging your credit card. Do not use them. All I wanted is to start a simple corporation and all I got was frustration.

I filled out paperwork for an LLC. A rep from LegalZoom called me (at work) and told me it HAD to be an LLP. Well, he was wrong and I lost all $700plus I paid because they would not stand behind me or what I had ordered. They said I shouldn't have changed, even tho it was their recommendation. I then had to pay them another $40 to dissolve the LLP and then went to my state website and applied for a LLC for $350.00 Much different, but my LLC cost me $1100. Just beware, they do not stand behind their product!

Carrie, at x-7262 provided me with OUTSTANDING support. Her knowledge of the product combined with her level of professionalism are the reasons why I stay with LegalZoom.

I received a discounted offer today from another online legal consultation company, but they do not provide the assistance with Intellectual Property that I truly need.

I always receive the best professional care and customer service from LegalZoom's representatives. And this is my heartfelt THANK YOU!

Advertised the product I was getting as 240$ ended up charging me 250 in hidden fees. I get hidden fees are legal but this is sneaky and obviously intentional

This was the worst experience of my life and I did it to myself, against my better judgement, all in the name of saving money. Sometimes it's worth spending more because as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This was a nightmare, they have a million people involved and emails as a way to act as a buffer between you and an actual attorney. If you want one question answered it takes 3 days ( if that to get it call back). After this experience I think there are some industries that can not not sell services cheaply, at least for me it does not work. I ended up having to pay a real attorney, someone who I could actually speak with to find a resolution to my problem. Legal Zoom has successfully created a silly convoluted process around even getting one question answered. Something that would take 5 minutes ends up taking days, literally. This is a super cheap money grab...better off going to a small business attorney. I am so sorry I went this route, but lesson learned for sure! I would advise small business owners to pay a little more ( even f you can't really afford it) so you can get the quality service you deserve.
