Group Legal - MetLife
Studies show that seven out of ten employees experience one or more legal events in a year. We offer a group legal plan that will help cover the costs of legal expenses associated with a variety of needs, including document preparation and review, family law, estate planning, traffic offenses, and more. As a School System employee, you have access to a variety of legal resources such as guidebooks and videos, a glossary, helpful website links, and a personal information organizer through MetLife, even if you are not enrolled in the legal plan.
School System employees may enroll in the legal plan and access a variety of legal benefits. Telephone advice and office consultations with a network attorney are provided on an unlimited number of personal legal matters. Trials for covered matters are also covered.
