A Group Legal Services Plan is an important part of the State's benefits package because it can help employees get sound advice and representation to quickly resolve their legal problems. Chances are, at one time or another, you may need an attorney. However, legal problems can be very confusing and costly. When they come unexpectedly, they can present a huge financial burden, not to mention the time you spend searching for just the right lawyer. Good California attorneys can cost $353 or more per hour. As a member of the State's legal plan, you can face your problems with the confidence that solid legal coverage provides.
The Group Legal Services Plan is a voluntary employee-paid plan and premiums are paid through monthly payroll deductions. The monthly premium is $9.84 for individual coverage and $17.39 for family coverage to cover you, your spouse, or domestic partner and any eligible dependent children.
