I too have the service and the answer to replacing high dollar lawyers?..... It all depends on what your needs are, because in a lot of cases yes, and PPL is not, I repeat, not to replace the lawyer relationships that you already have. I still use my closing attorneys that are not associated with PPL, but for any disputes or anything due me or if I'm facing litigation, or have any contract, whether it's millions of dollars or 100 dollars I'm covered by very prestigious lawyers nationwide and in canada.
As a matter of fact all of the attorneys are "high dollar" if you don't own a membership because you would be charged the high rates just like anyother attorney.
An example; hall of fame football player Fran Tarkenton used the same attorneys that PPL members had, but he was spending thousands of dollars a year to use them and having a tough time getting an appointment until he found out why. Needless to say he got the membership, saves thousand/year and now can get an appointment.
Anyway, this is not to suggest that you should get this membership, but it helps a lot of people including me; it does not do 100% of everything you as an investor would like at 100% coverage, but you would still pay a reduced rate compared to a none member.
PLEASE, and again I say, PLEASE, if you have previous attorney relationships, keep using them, but PPL is a very handy tool to have in the bag at a reasonable price.
