If this occurs, you may be referred to another attorney on the plan by calling the customer service center of Consumer Legal Network for assistance.

The penalty for deceiving the Legal Club or any plan attorney for the purpose of utilizing the plan for a non-eligible family member is automatic termination of plan privileges and immediate notification to the plan attorney about the termination.
