Hear from people who’ve used MetLife Legal Plans
I received a traffic ticket in the mail (was caught on camera). I have never received a ticket in my life and I am 60 years old. I panicked and called my plan attorney’s office and was given his cell phone number. That right there stunned me. I proceeded to call him, left a message and 10 minutes later, he called back. He took care of the entire deal for me. He is an extremely caring and professional individual. Thank you, you saved my life.

I had a suspended license and a speeding ticket...my traffic ticket attorney, through the plan, was able to get everything dismissed AND got the state to pay for the court costs! Thank you so much! I am definitely touting their services! If you CAN sign up with MetLife, I suggest you don’t delay! You never know when you are going to need legal services in your corner!
