[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RhYmRVvDF4|Legal Shield]] is a company founded in 1972 by entrepreneur and visionary, Harland Stonecipher. Mr. Stonecipher founded the company after being involved in a serious vehicle accident. Although he had car insurance to assist in his vehicle damage as well as health insurance to cover his hospital bills, he was completely unprepared for the legal expenses he quickly incurred.

Mr. Stonecipher quickly realized that although the United States has long had one of the world's most advanced legal systems offering "justice for all", often times that justice comes at quite a steep price that the average American unfortunately struggles to afford.

He decided to create a solution and thereby offer top legal services to Americans everywhere at a fraction of what those same services would normally cost. Pre-Paid Legal Services was born.

The company expanded quickly and was even listed on the New York Stock Exchange where it was a consistent top performer. In June of 2011, Stonecipher and his shareholders completed the sale and managerial transfer of the company to Midocean Partners, making it a privately held company for the first time in a long while.

The decision to re-brand and rename the company, Legal Shield, was officially announced at the company's convention in Dallas, Texas on September 10, 2011. Legal Shield provides its services throughout the United States as well as in 4 Canadian provinces.
