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.
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.
Didn't know what to expect, but chatted with an agent about creating my LLC for state fees only. Their work is free! Checked my proposed LLC name in entity search at state corporation commission. Get your EIN at IRS once you're solid on the name.
Whom it may concern,
I wanted to express my customer experience with Johnston, he was very informative and help me clear any issues I had with processing my nonprofit. He was very knowledgeable and help me through the process.
I spoke with several Legal Zoom agents but Johnston by far offered the best customer experience.
Thank you Legal Zoom, I am now confident that I trusted the right company to process my nonprofit.

Hi Yoko, we are happy to hear you had an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing & being a valued customer!
It's really a few simple things. First, when you enter your name for name check, you include the complete name, like: ABC Inc. After you pay for the service, then as you go through the screens, it asks you "what designation you want". Well, you have already included, so now they are asking you to put another Inc, after the inc you already included in the name. This is really dumb and should be corrected. The second problem is that there is no summary sheet for your corporation (I believe they had previously). You have to blindly rely on information typed in or go back to edit. The company wants you to pay first, then finish the service.
Hi Rich, thanks for sharing your review. We appreciate the feedback and we're working on making this a better experience. If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via help@legalzoom.com.
It was very productive and professional. I was able to get answers to any and every question I had. If I have to, I will come back to this company again for their help.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know that our efforts have been helpful to you. We appreciate your feedback, Daniel.
I was having trouble completing my business setup online and when I called in the Raymond was able to walk me through the process and correct the error and made sure that I was completely satisfied prior to getting off the phone with me. He provided amazing Customer Service. Greatness Only!
Your positive feedback made our day, Tonya! Thank you for sharing your experience with Raymond.
I have established my EIN as of last year. I am turning my business in to an LLC, Jeremy was informative and answered all of my questions. I appreciate the price as I will get protection for my business and clients. I really liked that they have a 6 month and 12 month option. I need to draft up contracts for my clients portfolios and I feel confident that I will see all my business legal needs met.
Your willingness to share your experience has been greatly appreciated, Celia.
Tried to do my invention on my own and saw there was a lot more to it. Saw ad for LegalZoom and contacted them and never regretted it. All the people where great at all times, my only regret is that you don't have a department that takes it all the way and help in selling the idea to the companies. Wish you could get that.
Thank you Robert, we appreciate your kind words!
Jordan was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. I wish more companies had representatives that communicate like they did. I had a lot of questions that were answered honestly. I'm a base level consumer but I was treated like I was top tier. Fantastic experience.
We Jordan will appreciate this wonderful feedback just as much as we do. Thank you, Thomas for taking the time to share.
I'm extremely pleased with my LegalZoom experience. My husband and I drafted our wills and recently had to amend them to make a few changes and from start to finish I couldn't be happier! The gentlemen I spoke with because of a discrepancy couldn't have been more helpful and courteous, not to mention that my mistake was caught and amended. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.
Hi Stephanie, we are so very happy you had such an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing & being such a valued customer.
From beginning until end, Mychael was SUPERB. He's courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He has a nice friendly, helpful voice and he's also very patient. I had many questions for Mychael and he satisfactorily answered them all. I don't think he really knows how I TRULY appreciated all that he has done for me and more importantly, the way he has done it. When you find someone like Mychael, he's the only one you want to handle your business... and he handled it very well. I hope you all have a reward's program because Mychael certainly deserves it from my point of view. Thank you for having such an asset with LegalZoom.
My Best Regards to Mychael

Hi Arlene, thanks so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you sharing & we are happy we could help you!
I am so pleased with my decision to utilize LegalZoom for our revised living trust. The documentation provided is top quality and structured to conform to the laws of our new state of residence. The first living trust we created with local legal counsel cost over $2,000. The LegalZoom product was every bit as professional as the first at a fraction of the cost.
Thank you Roger, we appreciate your kind words and your business!
Legal Zoom takes longer than if you just do the work yourself, plus they charge ten times what the secretary of state charges. If you have to call their customer support number, expect to be on hold for one full hour. They give you the option to keep your place in the hold line and they will call you back, when I chose that option the call went strait to voicemail.
Tip for consumers:
Stay away from Legalzoom

As a business owner I've used Legal Zoom and have always been satisfied. Recently my husband and I decided it was time to create our wills and Legal Zoom was our ONLY choice! The staff there are friendly, knowledgeable and make the process really easy. Their forms are easy to complete and help is but a phone call away if you need it.
This warms our hearts to hear about your experience Hellen! Thank you for continuing to place your trust in us.
I wanted to rate legalzoom a zero but it's not possible on this site. I ordered $514 worth of products and almost a month later still haven't gotten the documents I ordered. I called customer service. 2 hours and 6 customer service reps later, no one knows where my documents are. So I call customer service again and talk to a female named Spencer. I tell her my situation and tell her I don't trust the company and want to cancel my order and get a refund per the 100% satisfaction guarantee. Her response - no. She just straight up said, no I am not going to cancel your order or give you a refund! So I had to contact my credit card company to get my money back and dispute the charges. I also contacted various agencies and submitted complaints about this horrid company.
We're so sorry about your experience with LegalZoom. We are constantly striving to ensure the satisfaction of each customer, and it seems we fell short of that goal in this situation. I would like to help you resolve your concerns. Please contact help@legalzoom.com.
Ben, my agent, was fantastic and a true professional will ensure I work with Ben moving forward as he is excellent. I can't say enough about Legal Zoom and the ease and security of forming of the company; this is my second, and I look forward to using other products offered by this fantastic company. Thank You
And we thank you, John, for taking the time to share your experience with Ben, it means a lot!
Legal zoom agents sat on thier button and sent emails and think that's worth $299 a year. Also before the renewal date they sent out an email saying we must update our credit card because the one they have on file has expired (for good reason). We did not contact legal zoom and expected them to contact us by phone for a membership or they were going to cancel our buisness, however they charged the same bank account anyway using an expired card and then sent us a congratulations anniversary email. I very much was not impressed with legalzoom and believe them to be very close to criminal. We had to pay them to disolve our company and they didn't refund our renewal charge because it had been more than 30 days from the subscription date. Great way to run a corrupt buisness.

I called to inquire about a recurring charge on my credit card. Juli was able to answer my specific question, and then guide me through some other issues that I needed to address. She was so helpful... respectful, patient, efficient, and effective!
Hi Andy, thanks for your kind words & sharing your experience.
Everything ran smooth with this website until I realized that without me selecting them for a registered agent they did it automatically. When I call to try to get this straightened out I was sent from department to department they couldn't even give me a name of the departments I was sent to. That was $247 that I did not want to spend they told me to change it through my state which would cost me another $100 I am very dissatisfied
Hi, Tynisha! We apologize if there was any confusion regarding who is appointed as your registered agent. We're not able to alter the original submission of anyone's questionnaire. If we can be of any additional support, please call us at (800) 773-0888 or by email at support@legalzoom.com.
I have been trying 4 months to get a simple job done (registered agent) and I was told it could be done quickly. I have called and emailed and was told, when I called, "there is no reason this should be held up... I will escalate it". Still, nothing. They SUCK and I will cancel the charge on my credit card and start over with someone else!
It is very important to us to try and improve the situation when there has been a misunderstanding or dissatisfaction with our service. We’ve reviewed your account & entity status in detail and we will reach out to you directly to resolve. Please also feel free to contact a manager directly anytime via help@legalzoom.com.
I am very thankful to have gotten to work with Jordan. This was my first experience with LegalZoom and I have to say it won't be my last. Thank you Jordan for all of your help and making the setup process a breeze!
Hi Steve, thanks for sharing your amazing experience. We look forward to working with you again!
I am filing for my first trademark and this experience is incredibly daunting. I have lawyers telling me it will be $1300 or I can file it myself for $69 on some random site. Who knows what is correct but Juli, at Legalzoom, walked me through the entire process. I have an attorney working on my trademark and I look forward to the result!
Hi Brad, thank you very much for your review. We work really hard to make our customers feel like they are in good hands, so we're happy to see that reflected in your experience. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help!
It took upwards of six phone calls over 3 months and finally the intervention of LegalZoom PR to get what I needed.
But I finally did. I think.
Two out of six front line support staff were utterly incompetent. One of the five specialists I spoke to was.
Tip for consumers:
Be sure the person you've named as executor has a physical copy of the will before you die or your money will be wasted.
I'm so sorry for your loss and truly apologize for your experience with us up until this point. This is contrary to the exceptional help we pride ourselves on providing our customers. If you email your information to help@legalzoom.com, I will get a copy of your mother's will to you as soon as possible.
It is very hard to navigate the phone system (not one option ever mentions s-corps). Once I get someone and give them my info, it's like this is their first day and they have never heard any of my questions. Documents were missing from my package, according to the rep on the phone, but she couldn't provide a list of everything I was supposed to have so we could confirm that nothing else was missing. She asked me to hold, left me for over 11 minutes, and said it was because her system was down? She could have the courtesy to come back at least once during the 11 minutes to tell me so? Such a bad experience but now I am stuck with you so too bad for me I guess
Hi Mark, I would like to extend my sincerest apology in regards to your less than pleasant experience with LegalZoom. Please be advised that an “S-corp” is not a formal business entity. Rather it is still a Corporation that must be registered with the state before it can file for S-corp tax election with the IRS. I am very sorry for any miscommunication or misunderstanding on our part. We would like to hear more about how we could have improved your experience with us so we can do a better job in the future. At your convenience, please feel free to contact us via help@legalzoom.com.
I submitted my application while on the phone with a representative. The process was explained to me step by step. My rep, Byron, was patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. I had a great experience getting my business LLC'd via Legal Zoom!
Thank you for recognizing Bryon's efforts and for your positive feedback, Sammi.
I accidently ordered another Living Trust. Legal Zoom was so understanding about it. I can't thank you enough. Everyone on Legal Zoom and so very patient and understanding. I know it is hard to deal with fumble headed old people and you are all so Wonderful. I feel safe having you when it comes to all this Legal "stuff" Again Thank you very much.
It is truly our pleasure to help Judith. We appreciate you as our customer and thank you very much for your kind words.
LegalZoom is the best way to get legal help for your family and business. Ask business and personal legal questions, get advice on specific situations, have an attorney review your legal documents and more.
Every year, Americans spend millions of dollars on routine legal services such as forming a business, applying to register a trademark or creating a last will. Others simply do not create essential legal documents because of the inconvenience and high cost. LegalZoom was established to provide an easy-to-use, one-stop online solution for people to handle common legal matters.
We appreciate you for sharing, Scott!
