PDF version | | If you have a client who needs a lawyer
Foresters Financial™ can helpMost of us need a lawyer at one time or another, whether it's for buying or selling a home, drawing up a will or drafting a power of attorney. Maybe your clients would like to challenge a traffic ticket, have a lawyer review an employment contract, or represent them in a divorce or custody issue. When you help your clients become Foresters Financial members, they may be eligible for a wide range of unique member benefits.¹
Foresters Legal Link² puts our members in touch with a lawyer who can offer advice in most areas of the law. It's as easy as calling the Legal Link toll-free number. Family members living in the same household are also eligible to call.
After an initial complimentary consultation, the Legal Link representative will decide the type of expertise that is required and refer your client to a lawyer in their area. Other services may be offered at a discount. Legal Link puts legal advice at our members' fingertips. It's just one of the many ways Foresters helps you do more for your clients.
