by Harland C. Stonecipher, James W. Robinson

It began by accident. In 1969 Harland Stonecipher came face-to-face with the high price of justice when a car accident he was involved in found its way into the courts. Even though the accident was not his fault, the staggering costs of legal protection nearly destroyed him financially. This traumatic experience planted the seeds of a vision that would eventually become Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc., the company that is revolutionizing justice in America by giving average citizens access to top lawyers for as little as $15 a month. Inside, discover the dramatic story of Pre-Paid Legal and its army of enthusiastic associates who together make legal protection not just a privilege for the few, but a right for all.

Glad I read this book about his struggles he went through to get his business. If you don't know what Pre-Paid Legal. I normally don't read fast but it took me only 2 days to read. It was very informative for the Legal Shield Business People. I just Loved the book.

Started out as more of a biography and seemed to quickly become more sales literature. Not sure I would recommend for any reader not part of the LegalShield organization.
