“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 received a 100% refund. Shouldnt take a bad review, but at least they stepped up and did the right thing.

Beware of auto renewal charges

Charged me 160 to renew a registered agent for my company. Have asked to have it cancelled several times. I did not need them as my RA. Sent copies of new RA assignment and still could not get them to stop chasing me for 160. Their is no cost with the state other than to change an RA, which I paid. They turned me over to a collection agency. At this point Ive wasted more than 160 of my time. I paid it to make them go away. I would not use this company.

In the process of getting a TM on a logo. I followed all steps and action items from LegalZoom via email and telephone calls. First, they stated they didn't received the Black and White rendering of my jpeg logo file, but they had, they just missed it so this slowed the process by a few days. After the initial search was performed, I received a file for review with three options. 1. Approve and move forward with the application, 2. Stop the process or 3. Schedule a consultation with a LegalZoom attorney. I opted to speak with an attorney, and stated so in a return email. The consultation was scheduled, conducted (Great conversation with a very knowledgeable attorney) and completed on 10/29. I then replied to LegalZoom on 10/30 requesting that they move forward with completing/filing the application with the government. I monitored the progress on 113/15 (or lack thereof in this case) online and it appeared that the next steps had not been taken - specifically completing/filing the application. I called on 11/4/15 and a CSR said I never responded to the email in which they provided me with the initial logo search. I corrected him and he then stated that he then found the email from 10/30 from me. Then he tells me it takes five business days to complete the application to send to me for approval. OK. Now today, I checked the online progress of my order and it still had appeared to not have moved forward. I called again, talked to another CSR today, 11/5/15 and he said the same thing the CSR told me the day before. I asked to speak with a Manager, I was put on hold, he came back to say one was not available, but could receive a call back from one in up to three business days. So technically, if LegalZoom would have taken action on my email response on 10/30, my application should have already been sent to me for my approval. I should not have to shepherd this process and it is very concerning to me that even after two emails and two phone calls, they still cannot get it right. And, whenever speaking with a LegalZoom CSR, they insinuate that the communication breakdown is at my end. Not a good experience.

Tip for consumers:
I received my TM application 0n 11/5, but had to return it because they had my STATE incorrect. While LegalZoom's Social Media Manager reached out and gave a discount for my inconvenience, I am still waiting for the corrected application. The online status still states "Action Required" on my part, but really, the ball is in their court at this point. I had to place another call and send two emails asking to get it by the end of business today. Still no call back from a Customer Service Manager
