    I used the website once for a document in December. I was then charged $59.97 for four months even after trying to cancel my service. I have now been charged the full $239.88 even after trying to cancel. I have reached out to multiple customer service **** to try to get a refund for the membership since I did not use it, still and no help was given.

    I noticed that I have charges beginning in October of 2024 for RocketLawyer. I do not remember ever signing up for RocketLawyer, but assumed that I may have used a free trial that I didn't cancel. No big deal...so you would think. Upon trying to log in with every email account I own, I discovered that I have no account. I created an account with my primary email today April 5, 2025 and received a 'Welcome' email. There is no card information authorized for use under any of my email addresses, but somehow I have been charged over $240 for services that I have not used and had no clue about.

    Hi ****,

    We're sorry to hear about your billing matter, but I wanted to give you an explanation as to why you were billed the two $59.97 charges. At the time of sign up when credit/debit card information is required to begin, it's explained that as long as the membership is canceled during the Trial period, there will not be further billing beyond the $5 for the Premium Trial. Otherwise, it will convert into an annual plan that will bill in 4 installments.

    As a courtesy, a refund has been issued, please allow 7-10 business days for the refunds to process by your financial institution. Since your membership has been canceled, you will not be billed any further.

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please respond to the refund confirmation email.

    I started a trial with Rocket Lawyer few months ago to draft an agreement, but did not end up using any services as it did not meet my needs. I did not realize that this started a subscription until I saw 4 charges of $59.99 on my card for annual subscription. I contacted them and requested a refund as I had not used any services, however, they refused to issue the refund. When I asked the customer service agent to check with their manager, then they left me waiting and never returned. This seems to be unfair practice from the business. If the customer has not used services then they should not be charged.

    Hi *******,

    We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding our Free Trial Terms. It's explained at the time of sign up when credit/debit card information is required, that as long as the membership is canceled during the Free Trial, there's no billing whatsoever. Otherwise, it will convert into an annual plan that bills in 4 installments.

    As a courtesy, a full refund has been issued. Please allow 7-10 business days for the refunds to process by your financial institution.

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please respond to the refund confirmation email that you've received.

    I notified Rocket Lawyer last July and provided great detail about their attorney referral as this Texas attorney handed my case over to a California-licensed attorney, sent a botched final demand letter, and abandoned me which ruined my case.I have finally lodged formal complaints with both the ******************** and Texad, also. California began investigating immediately as the firm acted Illegally. I informed ***** at Rocket Lawyer today, and she showed an appalling lack of concern that Rocket Lawyer continues to refer a lawyer to their clients who is being investigated for providing ILLEGAL services.

    In December of 2024 I made a purchase agreement with Rocket Lawyer. I paid for Rocket Legal+ Membership $59.97, billed four times, which is 239 annual for a membership. The membership comes with discounted fees for other services like filing, annual reports, etc. Since my annual membership started Dec. 2024 or January 2025, it should expire in December 2025. I logged in to my account to look into switching more LLCs over to Rocket Lawyer. But discovered deceptive auto billing practices. I also sent email responses/questions to their questions about my filing reports, months ago, but they never responded. Not only did they set membership to expire March 2025 when I paid for it to expire in December 2025, but they set it to auto bill me some type of new membership, undisclosed amount, without my permission. When I clicked "manage" it said "If you downgrade to a free membership now, your Rocket Legal+ Membership benefits will end December 2025. The 1 remaining installments will still be charged." It is a lie to use the words "downgrade to a FREE membership," when I already paid for it. They just did not want to give what I paid for. Since the annual membership I paid for is actually a downgraded free membership, I want all 239 back, no further charges, ever. NO renewal on ANYTHING!

    Nowhere during the Rocket Lawyer signup process, or deceptively buried, was it disclosed that this was a trial leading to an automatic renewal of the annual billing agreement. This is an egregious bait-and-switch tactic, as it lures consumers in with the promise of a free service, only to trap them into an unwanted annual contract.
