Did you ever wish you could pick up the phone and call a lawyer for some quick advice? Marshall University employees and Retirees are offered a Group Legal Plan through ARAG Legal Center. It’s affordable legal counsel for everyday life matters like:
- Dispute with a contractor
- Buying or selling a home
- The need for estate planning.
The plan provides you with the peace of mind knowing that attorney fees for most covered legal matters are 100 percent paid in full when you work with a Network Attorney. That means you’ll avoid paying high-cost attorney fees, which currently average $368 an hour*.
