Did you know you that as a member of the IEA/NEA you have access to many no-cost benefits?
No-Cost IEA Member Benefits
Attorney Referral Program– At one time or another, each of us needs legal counsel on personal matters that are important to us and our families. The Attorney Referral Program offers discounts on personal legal services. During any calendar year, eligible members are entitled to two, free 30-minute consultation sessions with a handful of Association-approved attorneys. During the two free sessions, you may discuss almost any legal matter except income tax preparation. In addition to these free consultations, members may have specific legal work performed in five “core” areas at a 30 percent reduction of that attorney’s normal fee. Participating attorneys must agree to discuss fees before they render services. And they must be willing to accept payment of their fees by some installment payment plan. In some cases, that may even include credit cards. The five core areas include:
- Wills and Estates
- Real Estate
- Domestic Relations
- Consumer Protection
- Traffic Violations
For a list of participating attorneys and full program information click here. We also have a video on our YouTube channel where the director of Giving to Teach explains how the program works. You can view that short video here.
