Legal Plan Dispute Resolution
Summary
If a legal plan provider solicits extra fees beyond your membership and fails to render services, you may have a breach of contract claim. In Washington, consider filing complaints with the Washington State Attorney Generals Office, the Better Business Bureau, or the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive practices. Emotional distress claims in arbitration are challenging without specific contractual terms, so focus on the breach. Gather all relevant documents and consult a legal professional to strengthen your case. Self-representation in commercial arbitration is possible but challenging; familiarize yourself with arbitration rules and prepare thoroughly.Full Conversation
