Overwhelming Majority of Americans Are Concerned, But Don’t Have a Plan to Deal with Personal Legal Issues That Can Occur

Study: Nearly 70 Percent Experienced Legal Events in The Past Year

Des Moines, Iowa (PRWEB) April 22, 2009 -- Each May 1, Law Day focuses public attention on the justice system and the rights of citizens under the law. Even as communities and organizations prepare to observe Law Day 2009, a new national study is shedding light on the impact that legal matters can have on our daily lives.

According to a newly-released Russell Research study, almost 90 percent of Americans are concerned about one or more personal matters from a legal standpoint. The study reports nearly 70 percent have experienced at least one legal event in the past year and the vast majority – about 75 percent – don’t have a plan to deal with legal issues that can occur.

The Russell study reveals the depth of concern Americans have for family, financial, home and other legal-related matters that may have a negative impact on their personal and work lives.
