Most online legal services promise advice. Some offer documents. A few provide access to attorneys. None take responsibility for what happens when a police encounter goes wrong—until now.

Attorney Shield® recently introduced the Member Protection Warranty, a first-of-its-kind benefit designed to provide members with real financial relief when law enforcement unnecessarily or unlawfully escalates a situation, even when the individual has done nothing wrong. This warranty represents a fundamental shift in how legal service providers support their users; not just during an incident, but after it.

What the Member Protection Warranty Covers

When the Attorney Shield app is properly used during a police encounter, members may be eligible for up to $1,000 in reimbursement for qualifying out-of-pocket expenses that result from unlawful or unnecessary escalation by law enforcement. Covered expenses may include:

• Traffic citations or court-related fees

• Towing, impound, or vehicle storage costs

• Emergency medical treatment

• Property damage, such as broken windows or doors

• Certain legal expenses tied to the incident

This is not prepaid legal insurance. It is not a discount program. And it is not a theoretical benefit buried in fine print. The warranty exists to address the real-world consequences people face when encounters escalate beyond reason; financial strain that often falls hardest on those least able to absorb it.

Why This Is Different From Every Other Legal Service

Online legal platforms typically stop at access: access to templates, access to attorneys, access to information. Attorney Shield goes further by backing its service with a tangible commitment.

No other online legal service provider offers a reimbursement-backed warranty tied directly to police encounters. That’s because doing so requires more than a call center or document library, it requires confidence in the service model, disciplined protocols, and a willingness to stand behind members when our service does not avert unjustified actions by police.

The Member Protection Warranty exists because Attorney Shield was built for moments of imbalance—when authority, fear, and uncertainty collide, and when the consequences can extend far beyond the roadside or front doorstep.

Accountability, Not Just Access

The warranty is designed to complement Attorney Shield’s core service: real-time access to licensed attorneys, automatic recording, and documented interactions. Together, these tools help de-escalate situations when possible and preserve evidence when escalation occurs.

If escalation still happens, the warranty ensures members are not left alone to shoulder the fallout.

A New Standard for Legal Support

Attorney Shield’s Member Protection Warranty reflects a simple belief: legal support should not end when the encounter does. Protection must extend into the aftermath, where costs, stress, and uncertainty often linger.

By combining on-demand legal access with post-incident financial protection, Attorney Shield is setting a new standard—one focused not just on rights in theory, but on protection in practice.

For members, that means greater peace of mind. For the industry, it means the bar has been raised.
