I’ll say this, the information that has been presented throughout the conversation is liable but lets take a look at history. Lets look at major corporations such as Microsoft, Apple, McDonalds or anything else, when they began don’t you think there was someone like you, or someone like Len Clements in the background,who uses his “credibility” to make an impact on people?

Lets look at lawsuits today, how many times has Microsoft been sued? How about Apple, or Sony? Does a litigation make a company a scam? If so lets go ahead a try to wipe out the accredited Microsoft now and see how well that goes…

One thing everyone needs to understand is there will always be someone out there that wants to fight, wants to prove something to be a scam, says it doesn’t work or it’s a pyramid.

By the way for those of you who have a JOB, PPL isn’t your employer!

If you didn’t catch on let me explain, the definition of a pyramid scheme as most know is a system that is put in place that positions one individual at the top who makes all the money and the money dwindles as you get deeper.
Look at it conceptually, 9 times out of ten your not the CEO, your not on the Board of Directors, and your most likely not a little ant who works in the corporate headquarters.. So where the hell are you?

Oh, your at the bottom waking up every morning to walk into your job and work for pennies, while everything you do makes the CEO’s paycheck, and guess what he went golfing for the day and never saw an office or a suit.

So now lets decipher a pyramid in terms of the amount of money made and how far you can get…

Your JOB = CEO + Board Of Directors + Employees(or runts that take up less than 5% of the CEO’s earnings)

PPL = CEO + Associates( who some have surpassed the CEO’s income)

Hmmm… hard to classify that as a pyramid, let me know when any of you either become CEO of the company you work for or surpass your CEO’s income. I’ll be surprised if you live to see it, maybe you’ll have a dream. I’m sure that’s the closest you’ll get.

Another point to be made, the US Government has implemented law that will not allow a “pyramid” company keep ground for over 30 years, amazingly enough PPL has been established for 36 years and counting.

The pyramidal statements have been address but there’s one thing I find very faulty in your “fraud” investigation considering you (with your hours of research) and Len Clements have stated PPL only offers 2.5 pre-trail hours. A couple of points…

1. 2.5 pre-trail hours are offered to people who choose the standard family plan ($16/month).

2. This is only for the first year, this number increases year after year.

What has failed to be mentioned on your part and Len Clements part is the Expanded plan which offers 17.5 pre-trail hours in the first year and increases year after year up to 5 years. By disregarding this factor it automatically kills your claim.

This would be equivalent to you saying Microsoft Vista is a scam because it doesn’t of data loss prevention. But yet failing to explain that you are speaking of Vista Home Basic, and that feature is available in Vista Ultimate.

Again your claims make you seem like a “fraud” expert but to be honest your a poser, your the nat by the fruit bowl that just wont go away. That’s fine I like people like you, it’s people like you that keep American people enslaved in the mindsets that Americans have been programed to have for over 60 years. There’s a small few that break away, obviously your not one of them.

There’s one difference between slaves today and slaves in the 1800’s…

In the 1800’s slaves were given shelter and some food.

Today slaves are given small amounts of money and have been renamed as employees.
By the way good luck getting your retirement(401K), those days are over. Let me know how greeting people at Wal-Mart feels in 40 years. Great Career choice right?

Again there will always be people who want to shoot a cause down, find flaws and deny it. Insurance went through it, and all major corporations went through it. If you choose to sit back and not open your eyes to new opportunities and stay enslaved that’s your choice. But you are part of the group that in 20 years will be poor. The middle class will be outlawed in years to come. You have a choice so make one, but don’t look back and regret it. Life is too short not to take advantage of what sits in front of you.

He said she said will only take you so far, stop worrying about what others are doing a take charge of your life, make your own decisions on your instinct and prosper!

I’ve never said that someone in PPL can’t make money. I’m not sure what you think it proves by pointing out that someone in the company does make a lot of money.

I’d be happy to take a look at any “half-truths” you say I’ve printed about Pre-Paid Legal. Let’s take a look at them! I certainly don’t want to print anything but the truth here. All you have to do is follow these simple ground rules:

1. Point out exactly what I’ve said. Exact quote required.
2. Link to the page where I said it, and tell us approximately where the quote is on the page.
3. State what the “truth” is about my statement.
4. Link to actual proof of that “truth.”

Follow these simple rules, and we’ll have an interesting conversation about the facts.

I was very happy to find Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. because I felt that the prepaid legal plans it offered went a long way to easing the legal burden on the 80%. Of course, none of the plans are perfect just like medical plans or insurance plans do not cover everything. However, for what most of us in the 80% deal with on a daily basis as legal issues, the PPL plans are excellent.

Personally, when dealing with the Court representation portion of the plan, I am very careful to explain the difference between actual court time and pre-court time. That is why I always recommend the $25 plan because it includes 17.5 hours of pre-trial services (not 2.5 as you misstated- that is for the $16.00 plan). In my 30+ years of experience as an attorney, with the exception of major cases, a large portion of cases that end up in trial could have easily been settled within 17.5 hours of pre-trial time.

You mention that you get “very little services”. In reality, you get an incredible amount of services, but as I said, you do not get everything. No legal plan can provide you with full coverage and this is a “life events plan”, to cover the things that come up all the time in every day life, not one time events such as a DUI, or divorce, and the plans are not representated as covering such issues. (In fact, if you ever came to a business overview presentation, those services are always specifically mentioned as being excluded). But even if you need a lawyer for such things as a criminal charge or divorce, you get those services for a 25% discount. If you were going to pay for an attorney anyway, wouldn’t you rather pay 25% less than you would normally have to pay?

I love marketing the plans and have many happy customers. Although it is not my main focus, I do have a small team of people who work the business part-time, and everyone of them love what they are doing as well. But they and I recognize that this is a business and must be treated as such. I believe that it will take at least 5 years to have built a solid foundation where I will be living very comfortably from a combination of my commissions and team overrides.

Most of the people who complain about PPL are people who went into the business portion of it thinking they were going to make a million dollars in a short time and with very little work. By putting very little down, and very little into making the business work, no wonder they thought the product was bad and failed to look into the mirror at their own actions. I would hazard a guess that, if you interviewed the people providing the majority of the bad press about the business, that the time they spent in the business would be relatively limited.

Imagine if they, instead of paying $99.00 to get their own PPL business, had invested in a McDonald’s franchise at a million plus dollars. Do you think that they would have quit after a few months saying it doesn’t work? No, they would have been in there day after day, working their buns off for years to become successful. Building a business with PPL is no different. Just because it costs less to get in does not make the business any less worth while. I personally would rather offer someone affordable access to the law than a greasy hamburger any day!

It is interesting that Brad Piggot is an former Mississippi US Attorney and is one of the attorney’s bringing suit (as a private attorney) against PPL. On the other side, a strong support of PPL is Michael Moore, the former Mississippi Attorney General, also the person who won the largest jury verdict in the world against the tobacco company. Therefore, you are going to find supporters and detractors of any large business. I happen to like the fact that Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is also a strong supporter of PPL along with the President of the US Chamber of Commerce and the former President of the American Bar Association. You would think that the President of the ABA would be able to smell a rat if PPL was as bad as you portray it.

I realize that this comment will not change your mind since you have spent “hours of research” and are therefore “educated about the company and the bogus product they sell”. Rather, I offer it as someone who has worked in the legal system for over 30 years, and been involved with PPL as a company for a couple of years and so know a bit about the company and the legal system.
