My Benefits
Personal and work-related matters can preoccupy our thoughts, destroy our ability to concentrate on the simplest of tasks, or prevent us from functioning the way we want to in everyday situations. Your EAP member services offer ways to help overcome such issues, and will help you identify problems, develop a plan, and gain referrals to appropriate resources. The results of effective problem management are easy to recognize: better focus, better work productivity, and a clearer path to achieving your personal and professional goals.

Every year one out of three people in the U.S. is confronted with a legal problem. Many of these problems can be resolved with advice from a licensed attorney before they escalate, saving you time and money and minimizing the stress and anxiety caused by unresolved legal problems.
You are eligible for one initial free 60-minute telephonic or face-to-face legal consultation per separate legal matter, with a network attorney. If you want to retain an attorney or a mediator after the initial consultation, you get 30% off the normal hourly rate (flat fees are likely not discounted).
Our attorneys deal with almost all types of legal matters, including divorce and child custody, contractual and consumer disputes, real estate and landlord-tenant issues, and car accidents and insurance disputes.
(Matters involving disputes or actions between members and their employer, or MHN, are excluded from this plan. Also excluded are matters that, in the attorney's opinion, lack merit. Court costs, filing fees and fines are the responsibility of the member.)

- If contact is not made on those attempts, the emergency contacts you listed during the registration process are notified immediately.
Getting Started is Easy!
