Legal help

The Hyatt Legal Plan provides UUP members with access to more than 14,000 attorneys nationwide who will provide legal advice and reprsentation on a wide range of legal matters. Members can consult with attorneys via phone or in person.

Members can also use an attorney who isn't part of the plan and be reimbursed for covered services under a set fee schedule.

Members pay $15.75 per month (or $21.75 per month for a plan that includes their parents and/or in-laws) for the service, which can be deducted from payroll.

Some of the legal services covered under the plan include court appearances, civil litigation defense, juvenile court defense, deeds, traffic ticket defense, adoption, wills, debt collection, and real estate matters.

For more information on any of the plans, please contact UUP's Benefits department at 1-800-887-3863.
