About LegalZoom
One of the original online services for filing an LLC or will without hiring a law firm, LegalZoom built its business on turning legal paperwork into a guided online questionnaire. It's since expanded well past business formation into estate plans, trademarks, and subscription legal plans that pair you with an actual attorney for ongoing questions.
The refund rules are genuinely tiered by product type, which is worth reading closely rather than assuming one blanket policy applies. Filed products like LLC formations are refundable only before they're actually submitted to the state; once LegalZoom files your paperwork, that fee is gone regardless of how many days have passed. Small business owners and people handling straightforward estate planning are the realistic audience - if your situation is legally complicated, a real attorney consultation elsewhere is still worth the extra cost.
