The LegalFeeGuard program is priced at a level that most litigants would find extremely affordable.
In fact, some lawyers we spoke with said "Well, that's no more than the cost of a deposition transcript." In any event, we believe every lawyer should at least give their clients the option to choose to insure themselves against the potential for being personally liable for a judgment pursuant to the Offer of Judgment statute.
The policy is most affordable if purchased within 30 days after you receive the first Offer of Judgment/Proposal for Settlement (PFS) in your case. The most expensive option is if the policy is purchased within 90 days of the scheduled start of trial.
