“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 had legalzoom create an LLC for me in a different state than my home state on Feb 11. They ended up entering the principal office address as my home address except they put the state the llc was being created in. This made it impossible to create a bank account in the business name. I reached back out to legalzoom to have them correct the mistake. The people who answer the phone are empowered to do very little. Even though it was obviously a mistake by legalzoom, they had to enter the issue into a queue to be taken up by a supervisor at a later date rather than just initiating the process on the phone. Took about 4 days for anyone to reach back out to me (email first) and then eventually a call from a supervisor. I had to sign a few documents and send them back. I have used FaxZero for ever and never had issues using them but for some reason LegalZoom was struggling with the faxes they were receiving. This wouldn't be a problem but it would take 4 or 5 days for LegalZoom to pick up the document and email me that there was a problem with the fax. No phone call, no ownership, despite my issue being an expedited issue. After this happened again and we were delayed another 5 days because nobody takes ownership of issues and just picks up the phone to call the customer I finally mailed the documents to LegalZoom at my cost of $50 to overnight them. They arrived on a Wednesday, were not uploaded to my account until Friday, and then nobody started working on them until Tuesday... again on an expedited issue. I still have no idea on what the status is... have they been updated to the Secretary of State? No communication, no ownership of issues by LegalZoom, impossible to get ahold of a supervisor and the frontline people are not empowered to handle issues.

Tip for consumers:
Dont. If there is an issue, no one at LegalZoom will take ownership of the issue.
