“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.

Aimee happily answered all of my questions and went further to offer advice on questions that I did not even think to ask.

Literally this is what I consider customer service to be I'm 52 and let me say after my first heart attack and was about to have my second when I spoke with joe it literally made my chest stop hurting so I'm going to copy what I said to legalzoom and paste. Let me just say before I start crying that I have NEVER especially since Covid had a person on the phone make me feel so relieved at the most difficult time in my life, I want to call back again but just know that Joe literally made me feel that I know without a doubt what I need to do I can't really afford to spend the money but I know in my heart he's not just making a sale he's literally saving a life that's me that will save many more even after I'm gone but let's hope I can live long enough to get this finished. Joe from the bottom of my heart thank you for the help and the world needs more people like you especially when it's needed the most. The best phone call I think I've ever made in my life no kidding. U should have the biggest paycheck in history because making a call and talking to a human being with answers and compassion isn't found anymore. I don't want to call a company out but let me say that at Amazon in Jacksonville Florida near the airport EVERYTHING is thru an app so it's nice to know at the worst time in our lives it's a great feeling to make one call and get answers that's literally what may have saved my life today and I'm not joking my heart is actually beating normal now

God forbid they make a mistake... A PROVEN MISTAKE, where they failed to file my annual report for 2022 without my knowledge, where I have an email showing it was submitted, only to find out when I receive a call that not only did they not file my 2022 report, they did not file my 2023 report as stated. I found out by the firm that I WAS contracted with that my business had been dissolved by my state. So then I call them to find out why this was the case and they literally told me that neither of the documents were filed due to the fact that I had not "answered any autodialer calls they placed" so that I could approve the documents to "verify their accuracy." Isn't that something? They told me that I "refused" calls from a computer-dialed number to verify the information contained in documents they had already sent me an email about, stating that the docs had been sent? Seriously? HOW IS ONE TO VERIFY INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN DOCUMENTS THROUGH A TELEPHONE CALL? GOD FORBID YOU ACTUALLY CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE OR ANY OTHER PERSON IN THIS USELESS DAMN COMPANY TO TRY AND GET ANSWERS OR TO GET SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION... THEY DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANYTHING A PERSON HAS TO SAY AND MAKE ALL THE DAMN EXCUSES IN THE WORLD ABOUT WHY THEY CAN'T HELP, OR PLACE YOU ON HOLD THEN NEVER RETURN... WASH RINSE REPEAT... F'G IDIOTS!

Tip for consumers:
They have a "30-day" refund policy and by the time you realize you've been screwed, they say they will not return your money... Atty General of NC has been notified.. As has BBB

Worthless they know nothing about your company and don't care to. 2 plus hour wait time to speak to a rep. The worst company I've worked with.
