“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.

This is the second time I have used legal zoom, and it will be the final time. The automated dialing robot you have is ridiculous. I received 7, yes SEVEN calls in 50 minutes. I was trying to have a conference call, but kept being interrupted by 7 calls in 50 minutes. Call, leave a message, I will call back. Also, when I answer, a robot then puts me on hold and asks me why I'm calling. Well, since I didn't call you in the first place, I have no idea why I'm calling. I'm then called by legal zoom to be placed on hold again, and given the option to be called back when it is my turn which starts the cycle over completely. I've spoken with 2 customer service reps. Andre was fairly nice, however he was abrupt and short. The second rep was extremely abrasive. I have nothing good to say at this point other than my paperwork was filed with the state. That's it. I'm so utterly annoyed by your phone call processes that I will block your 800 # from my phone once my order is filled. Today it was 7 incoming calls in 50 minutes and it was 7 in 49 minutes the other day, and when I answered, I was put on hold. I have NEVER dealt with any organization that schedules calls every 5-10 minutes. It is unacceptable and quite an interruption in my day. If there is enough of an issue for someone in customer service to need to speak with me, why is it too much trouble for a human being that is capable to solving the problem to pick up the phone and dial and leave a message if no one answers? I guess you're trying to streamline your workflow with complete disregard for your customer's time and work needs.

Update to my review 7/26/2016: Today I logged into my customer account to check my order status. There was a message that I needed to call customer service as there was a problem processing my EIN. I called customer service. I was on hold for 46 minutes before I was able to speak with someone. Once they verified my account, they then put my on hold again to read notes. I was then told they don't know why that error message is showing. It is only getting worse with every correspondence.

I called LegalZoom to purchase their "Trademark Package" for $599.00 on 11/08/2022. The very first step of the package included a phone call after payment on November 10th 2022 that LegalZoom set with me from 5:05 P.M. EST to 5:20 P.M. EST with Anna (Appointment ID: *******). I waited for hours and no phone call from LegalZoom per their scheduled time per their email. I called in at a later time that day to cancel my package because they literally did not follow through on their scheduled phone call which was the very first step of many in their "Trademark Package." So, I have been waiting on my refund (7-10 days) and nothing has posted to my credit card. Yesterday 11/30/2022 I get a phone call that lasted about 38 seconds from LegalZoom and I told the lady that I was waiting on my refund and she said that she was going to process it and the phone call ended. Today (12/01/2022) I called LegalZoom because there was again no refund on my Discover Card and LegalZoom told me that the call that I received yesterday on 11/30/2022 that lasted for 38 seconds was an attorney and therefore was considered a consultation and my $599.00 would not be refunded. I explained to LegalZoom that the phone call was NOT a consultation and they hung up on me. I called LegalZoom back and asked them to please provide me with my filing documentation and other documents that were supposed to be filed and a recording of the phone call and they could not provide either. LegalZoom literally charged me $599.00, did not follow their said said timeline, their said process and did not / has not provided me with anything at all. This is the largest fraud and/or scam I have ever seen. I want a full refund of $599.00 immediately,

Tip for consumers:
Stay far away from LegalZoom! They will literally take your money and disappear. Try calling for a refund, it will never happen. Money spent is money lost!
