I'm sure they are paid for their work for ACLDN as attorneys (Hayes) and expert witnesses (Ayoob). As for being paid to endorse the product.....that I don't know for certain.

If they receive compensation at all (which appearently they do), I would place little value in their endorsement.

I don't go as much by their website as I do the incidents relayed by Marty Hayes, Massad Ayoob, and others who talk about ACLDN in various publications and TV shows. More info than I've heard from [pre-paid legal].

Are those compensated endorsements?

Not on their interviews on shows like SHOOTING GALLERY, GUNS & GEAR, & other shooting shows.

Let me rephrase my question, do they receive any compensation from ACLDN? Unless they specifically state that they don't when they mention their services my bet is they are getting paid.

Although these guys will tell you they are looking out for your best interest, their eyes are always on that bottom line.

Nothing against your late wife's vocation, but sometimes insurance salesmen are lumped into the same category as "used car salesmen."

Insurance is such a racket. I've never had a homeowners claim and still my premium goes up significantly every year.

Glock freely shares their products specifications and performance data. There are numerous avenues available to gauge the performance of their product. There is no shortage of references to judge reliability and performance.
Can the same be said about [pre-paid legal]? Will they give you a list of cases they have defended related to CHL and the outcome of the those cases? Will they tell you how much out of pocket expense their client had in the process that was not covered under their plan? Do you have anything tangible to gauge the product they are offering?
I trust my Glock, can't say the same for [pre-paid legal].
Instead of telling us what happened to someone who didn't have [pre-paid legal] why don't they tell us what happened to someone who did have [pre-paid legal]?
