Im having some problems with my car and a dealership. One of my co-workers told me to look at our Insurance because it covers a Lawyer/Attorney. Is this true?

Some of the Teamster Locals provide certain legal services, so you should contact yours.

Our local covers the cost of an attorney within the network or will pay a set fee if you choose to use your own attorney.

Have you thought about going through small claims or arbitration rather than hiring a lawyer?

I was always under the assumption that legal help would be provide providing your problem had something to do with UPS being involved---like being in an accident while driving your package car. I find it hard to believe legal help would be covered for you because you sue your neighbor when their plum tree drops its fruit on your side of the fence. Was I wrong all those years?

Contact your state consumer protection agency they might be able to help you.

Also does your state have a lemon law? If so you might be covered under that if they can't fix your problem in so many attempts.

If your looking for money small claims court might be better for u. No lawyers are aloud for either side so someone from the dealership has to show up and explain what is going on.

My brother and myself are currently using a lawyer to settle our mother's estate. My brother works for GM and its a UAW law firm. All we have to pay are filing fees. The IBT offered legal services in a 2010 brochure, I'm not sure if this is still going on.

A pre-paid lawyer (or something like that) is available through UPSERS.com. I don't know the details, but it's there.

Everything here is basically what any lawyer would do if you checked with them first. Maybe not the 30% off but most times that only means they jacked the price up 30% to begin with.
