Trial Defense for Business
A Lawyer by Your Side to Help You Succeed
If you have a home business, own a gun, or if you anticipate needing additional trial coverage – you may want to consider these optional Personal Plan Supplements. Add these supplements to your plan at checkout or scroll to learn more below.
What’s included in your Personal Plan Supplements:
Advice, Consultation, and Research
Receive advice and consultation on business legal matters related to your home business, plus 1 hour of research on each matter as needed.**
**This does not include business legal matters covered under designated consultations. Certain business legal matters are not covered.
Designated Consultation
A provider lawyer will advise you on business legal matters including tax, patent, trademark, copyright, or antitrust. Receive up to 3 annual designated phone consultations each year, of up to 30 minutes in length.*
Letters or Phone Calls
A provider lawyer can provide further help with business legal matters by sending letters or making phone calls on behalf of your home business. Receive any combination of 12 letters or phone calls annually for both in state and out of state business legal matters, each on a unique business matter, with 1 follow-up communication if a response is received from a third party.
(Additional letters or phone calls, beyond the plan limit, can be obtained for a $75 flat rate each.)
Document Review
Contracts and other business legal documents can be complicated and may include language that is not in your best interest. A provider lawyer can review business legal documents. Every month, you can submit up to 4 documents of up to 25 pages in length pertaining to both in and out-of-state business legal matters.
(If you need more than four documents per month, a flat rate of $75 for each additional review applies.)
*Doesn’t include documents that are related to administrative proceedings and lawsuits.
Collection Letters
Late-paying clients are an unavoidable part of business. A provider law firm can help collect money that’s owed by writing collection letters, up to 4 per month for both in and out-of-state matters. (For additional letters, a flat rate of $75 each applies.)

With a Home Business Supplement, you receive IRS Audit Legal Services for help with items included on Schedules C and E of your personal federal income tax return. Business entity tax returns are not included.
