For over 50 years, LegalShield has provided an alternative approach to accessing legal services. With increasing demand for affordable legal protection, the company continues to expand its presence across the U.S. Chris Ward, Regional Vice President of Colorado will discuss LegalShield’s growth and opportunities at the upcoming LegalShield In-Person Conference in Seattle on May 2nd.

A Legacy of Legal Access & Continued Growth 

LegalShield’s mission is to make legal services more accessible and affordable. Traditional legal assistance can be costly, often placing it out of reach for individuals and small businesses. LegalShield offers a cost-effective, subscription-based model that connects members with experienced attorneys.

Across Colorado, many households and businesses rely on LegalShield for legal support. Nationwide, the company serves many members, demonstrating that accessible legal protection is increasingly essential. Whether reviewing contracts, addressing disputes, or navigating compliance, LegalShield provides individuals and businesses with resources to manage legal matters more efficiently.

To strengthen its national presence, LegalShield established an executive office in Denver, where key leaders—including CEO Warren Schlichting, CCO Bob Toevs, and CTO Mark Conlin—focus on modernizing legal access. The company aims to meet the growing demand for affordable legal assistance through technology-driven solutions and strategic expansion.

Why LegalShield is Positioned for Continued Growth

Making Legal Services More Accessible 

For many, high attorney fees have discouraged them from seeking legal help. Traditional legal representation can be costly, making it challenging for individuals and small businesses to get assistance. LegalShield’s subscription-based model helps address this barrier, offering access to legal consultation, contract reviews, and document preparation at a predictable monthly cost.

Encouraging Proactive Legal Protection 

The way people approach legal services is shifting. Rather than waiting for a crisis, more individuals and businesses recognize the benefits of seeking legal guidance early. LegalShield encourages members to consult attorneys before signing contracts, launching businesses, or navigating landlord-tenant matters. This proactive approach can help members make informed decisions and avoid costly legal issues.

Supporting Entrepreneurs & Freelancers 

As more people turn to entrepreneurship, freelancing, and independent work, the demand for accessible legal support is growing. Small business owners face unique challenges, including drafting agreements, protecting intellectual property, and ensuring compliance. LegalShield’s small business plans provide essential services such as contract review and debt collection assistance, supporting startups and independent professionals in an evolving workforce.

Providing Identity Theft Protection 

Protecting personal and financial information is becoming increasingly important as cyber threats become more frequent. LegalShield’s IDShield offers identity monitoring, real-time alerts, and identity restoration services, helping members respond to potential risks. As online security concerns grow, LegalShield provides tools to help individuals safeguard their information.

Expanding Access Through Technology

Technology is a key driver of LegalShield’s growth. The company’s mobile app allows members to connect with attorneys, submit legal documents, and access resources conveniently. This digital-first approach aligns with modern consumer expectations, making legal assistance more accessible anytime, anywhere.

Growing Through Community Impact 

LegalShield’s expansion is fueled by its network of associates and members who share their experiences. Word-of-mouth recommendations continue to introduce new individuals and businesses to the service. Additionally, LegalShield’s mission aligns with broader efforts to increase legal access and awareness, providing individuals with resources to navigate their legal needs more confidently.

A Leader in Legal & Business Advocacy 

With nearly two decades at LegalShield, Chris has focused his career on expanding access to quality legal services. As a veteran, entrepreneur, and business advocate, he understands the legal and financial challenges that individuals, small businesses, and military veterans often encounter.

He is also involved with Compass Rose, an organization focused on community empowerment and professional growth. Through these partnerships, Chris remains committed to helping businesses and individuals navigate legal and financial matters more confidently.

Join Chris Ward in Seattle for an upcoming LegalShield event. On May 2nd, he will speak at the LegalShield In-Person Conference about the company’s expansion and the role of affordable legal protection. The event will occur at LaQuinta Inn & Suites, 1425 East 27th Street, Tacoma, WA, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm PDT, with doors opening at 6:30 pm.

This event allows attendees to explore LegalShield’s approach to legal accessibility, learn more about available services, and connect with industry professionals.

The Future of LegalShield 

LegalShield continues to expand access to legal services through innovation, affordability, and a proactive approach to legal care. By leveraging technology and a subscription-based model, the company aims to make legal support more accessible for individuals and businesses.

As the demand for legal protection grows, LegalShield continues to develop its platform to meet the needs of those seeking cost-effective legal guidance. The upcoming Seattle event provides an opportunity to explore these developments and discuss the future of legal accessibility.
