“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.

Tip for consumers:
I tried to resolve this with the company for two months with no change. Best of all, they won't refund me.

I canceled my registered agent and they charged me and said I'm not getting my money back. I asked her how do you get the option to cancel online and it doesn't cancel it. She said even though I did that I have to go through secretary of the state and change it. I will never use this site again.

To be clear here, I had no issues with LegalZoom up until this week. I used them to create an LLC in the state of Texas in 2022. I chose to dissolve the LLC in January of 2024 and worked with LegalZoom to do so. They were helpful, I PAID THEM to dissolve it and received all the paperwork in finality in March 2024. Here is where I have an issue with them: they CHARGED me a subscription fee of $249 on July 13,2024, MONTHS after my LLC was dissolved and my subscription was canceled. I spent 2 hours on chat with customer service trying to get a refund for this and they REFUSE to refund me, even though they are no longer my registered agent and not providing any services. DO NOT USE LEGALZOOM unless you want to be robbed.

I have been using LegalZoom for two years, and I could not ask for a more simple and easy company to work with! They are very informative and very professional. Also, every person I have ever spoken with, has been so courteous and nice to me, and does not hesitate to explain to me the things that I need to know. I would highly encourage using legal zoom.

I was not receiving correspondence from legal zoom due to one letter missing from my email address. He was able to diagnose the problem, and fix it. Got me renewed with RA services. This is what customer service should look like. Wish other companies treated their customers as well as Legal Zoom. Thank you! Spencer

I contacted Legal Zoom online today as I required information on formation of an LLC in NJ. I interacted with one of their representatives called Eden. All my queries were answered in a very pleasant and professional manner. I got a very clear perspective of what the actual requirements are and I was also informed about the timeframe. Indeed Legal Zoom is the way to go when you're in doubt. Thanks a lot Legal Zoom. I'm also going to recommend your great services to at least 10 of my acquaintances. Great job!

I think I had heard about this site in passing, possibly on social media but have never given it much thought. I happened to find it when scrolling on google and decided to give it a go. I am so happy that I stumbled upon this. I used the chat system to understand more of what was needed in order to get an LLC. I was promptly paired with a representative and it was a lovely conversation. My questions were answered in full detail and they were very professional and patient. I appreciated that very much. It was an informative and brief session but I still felt very accomplished. I will be using Legal Zoom in the very near future.

I received a call shortly thereafter, as I believe there was a miscommunication somewhere b/t departments and what information was updated or the person had access. Anyway, the woman that called I believe was adamant and apologetic. I received a refund, and am satisfied 100% with everything I paid for. Sorry it took so long to write this... she didn't even request that I do anything in trade. Thank you.

Providing me false information, and not issuing a legitimate refund
February 17th, 2024
• Previous review

I called on 1/25/2024 to request a refund of a product I had not use for and paid for on 1/02/2024. My CC, receipt from LZ, and MY ACCOUNT page all from LZ all state that fact. In my call the agent stated that this order number was on 12/24/2023 (even if that was true, are you that hard up to steal $299.00?), anyway all my evidence clearly shows that this request for refund was well within the time frame. Enough said.

Tip for consumers:
The information they were sharing with me on their end did not match all the evidence I had on mine

Products used:
LLC formation, paid for and accepted in December, but not the Compliance subscription paid for in 01.02.2024

It was necessary for me to follow up with LegalZoom regarding the LLC I had set up in 2022 and the requirement for LegalZoom to file another Registered Agent with the California. The agent I spoke with was very helpful and knowledgeable about what needed to be done to clear any deficiency. I am satisfied with the assistance I received and knowing that all will be in order within 72 hours at maximum.

I'm grateful too have Legal Zoom as a resource to help us launch our new business. I'm the first 12 hours we've been contracted by two different specialists and are being guided with experts and resources that have been a boost to our confidence during a time that can be a bit anxious. Thanks Legal Zoom!

LegalZoom has been great from the start. They helped me get my LLC business going and have provided top notch, excellent service from the start to the finish. I really appreciate the follow-up they do to make sure your business is in compliance. I worked with Abra Ruiz on my last call she scheduled for us, and she wanted to make sure my business was up to date with everything, and she was amazing. She went step by step over everything to make sure my business was on track and even sent a follow-up email after our call for reassurance she is there if I need to reach back out for anything. If you are new in your business and need some direction on how to get started LegalZoom is the best route for you and you won't be disappointed.

As a first time business owner I was very pleased with the way legalzoom helped me to navigate the licensing process. What started out for me to be overwhelming became a sense of confidence and assurance that everything I needed would be taken care of. Knowledgeable Reps and information online to help me make confident and the best decisions for my company I couldn't ask for better. Thanks again Legalzoom

I don't know where to start. I opted for legal zoom over inc authority which was a huge mistake on my part. First off I had issues completing my applications and received assistance navigating the process via phone call. I informed the rep I do not live in the USA, however based on my fast growing business and clients request I decided to give it a go. After the application was completed and my card charged etc, I logged into my account and realized a few discrepancies. The 99 dollar paid for Business and License is actually for a report of what to get. I also paid 199 USD for my registered agent service which I can't utilize for a lack of US address documents for verification purposes. Then the third issue I was told I can't receive my EIN because I need an ITIN number, so that's another 60 dollars gone. I was duped a total of 358 USD. And no one seem to be able to help all I am being told is that they can't refund because of their policy. Stay away from this company especially if you're a startup that isn't domicile in the USA.
