“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.

I now have to get my lawyer involved because the customer service claimed to have cancelled it three times. This is the worst service I have never used and will never use again.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use legal zoom it’s a scam.

Products used:
None of the legal services were used and I tried to cancel

I decided to use legal zoom to file articles of organization. I was told by several that this would be a pretty seamless process but I have had quite the opposite. I paid the initial fees(about 325 dollars) and about two weeks later, my checking account was drafted an additional (250 dollars) for registered agent fees. I did not authorize legal zoom as a registered agent. I'm not sure if it automatically defaulted to that but I never had any intention on legal zoom being the registered agent. I was then informed that I would need to contact the secretary of state to have legal zoom removed as the registered agent which is costing me additional money to have done. In order to complete the process of removing legal zoom as a registered agent, I need a copy of the original article of organization that was filed from legal zoom. When I reached out to customer service at legal zoom, I was informed that they could not provide me with a copy of the original documentation and that it would take a few days for me to get that. I also logged into my legal zoom account and cannot find the original documentation. Initially the rep said that I could get a copy in 2-3 business days, now they are saying 30 days. Is your team competent?

Hi Marquis. We try to do our best to make sure every customer is happy and it seems we fell short of that goal in this situation. In reviewing your account, we’ve confirmed your original filed documents are available in your My Account page for immediate download. Please go to the “My Files & Documents” tab. Once you’ve made your agent updates with the state, please contact a manager directly via help@legalzoom.com so that we can immediately cancel the LegalZoom agent subscription.

I wanted to cancel an order that I had paid for several hours earlier. Called them and explained my situation and was told no problem--they cheerfully refunded my order.
I absolutely would use again.

This should be my second order with this company. After first one about three years ago, which went kind of smooth I was expecting the same experience. How wrong I was.
I placed order # ******* in January 25th and since then no one was trying to contact me. I was not alarmed because I was checking periodically legalzoom.com. But because of lack of progress I called them February 28 and was promised that it should be done in the next couple days. Again, no one reach out to me since then. Today, March 14 randomly as usual I checked legalzoom.com and find out that there is a problem with my order. I called them and first person was OK but not really helpful and she transferred me to next who suppose to help me with my grievances. I've learned after seven weeks of waiting that State of NY has a problem with part of the name of my business. I understand.
What I don't understand is why Ms. Tabitha was focusing only on one thing that supposedly Legal zoom was contacting me back in February and I did not called them back. I was not able to ask all my questions during her raised voice tirade.
She did not react to my request to speak to her supervisor and basically the only one thing she was doing was escalating the situation. In this situation I had no other choice but cancel the order. I am sure I would not deal ever again with this company nor recommend them to any one.
