Default insurance GET APPROVED FAST

I had an unusal experience. I have legal insurance. When I was turned down, I called the attorney and they wrote a letter for me and BAM! within 48 hours APPROVED! Just food for thought. You can get it through your job? I got it through an individual. Certainly worth 17.00 per month........

Default Yes!

It is amazing what attorneys can do. Usually people can not afford one.
This plan you pay $17.00 per month. They will write a letter for you because they cover pre exisiting conditions. What state do you live in?

That's a great idea! My hospital (my employer) offers MetLife legal insurance.

I think she's talking about insurance that pays your legal bills.

Great job. Good information to know. Sadly I wouldn't be able to contact a lawyer. Don't have the $$$ for it.
