Group Legal
Studies show that seven out of ten employees experience one or more legal events in a year. We are pleased to 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!
Whitfield County Schools employees may enroll in the ARAG 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 from beginning to end.
ARAG provides you with telephone and office consultations for an unlimited number of matters. Attorney fees paid in full when using an in-networl attorney. During the consultation, the attorney will review the law, discuss your rights and responsibilities, explore your options and recommend a course of action. Emergency service with an attorney is even available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. The ARAG Legal Center, an online resource with information and education, is available for all Whitfield County Schools employees, regardless of enrollment in the legal plan.
