I am still not happy with Legal Wise service they are lies when they suppose to pay they come up with excuses telling me that the estate is not covered but that was never mentioned when I took the cover before wess part of it I have a letter of authority which gives me the legal standing but they are refusing to allocate me a lawyer.

If you have a policy with Legal Wise I think you better think again, but dont wait until its time for you to claim because you will be given excuses instead of service yet they are very good in debiting your account at the end of the month.

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

We have investigated your concern;

Due to failing to have my matter resolved I decided to cancel my Policy with Legal Wise since they showed me clearly that all they wanted from me was to take my money and not help me at all in return. Fellow South Africans to avoid disappointments like mine in future its better to save money for legal costs atleast R500 to R1000 every month I know its not that easy but this will assist you should you need a legal assistence and you can take a laywer of your choice not cheap companies that are *****ing our money and refuse to cover legal costs when you are in need instead they come up with unknown terms and conditions knowing very well that you wont have time to challenge that since you are already in need of legal assistence, South Africans let us stand together and fight this kind of *******.
