Karen consults with small businesses and/or human resource managers in developing benefit packages to retain and attract new employees.  Many employers are adding this benefit package as an added-value because it can be made available to their employees at no cost to their business.   The benefits package provides affordable access to legal services through a unique and highly effective delivery system called Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. 

Pre-paid legal plans emphasize preventive legal care to help keep minor legal problems from becoming serious or financially devastating to the work force.  It provides employees with protection of their legal rights, security for their families, confidence in their daily decisions and peace of mind knowing they have access to an experience law firm. 

For employers, the benefits are measured in time and money.  Legal problems can cost employers thousands and thousands of dollars in terms of absenteeism, reduced productivity and increased health insurance costs.  Primarily, because employees may not perform well when troubled, distracted or under stress.  Employers can discover that offering Pre-Paid Legal Service plan can open the door for employees and thereby possibly gain a competitive edge in recruiting new applicants.
