Very disappointing experience with BetterLegal. We paid full price for our company setup despite an advertised promotion that was never honored. Then, we discovered an additional $300 charge to our credit card that we did not authorize.
I have requested a full refund and an explanation. Having to chase down an unexpected charge after already paying for the service is frustrating and unacceptable. This experience has completely undermined my trust in BetterLegal, and I would not recommend them.

There is no way to cancel
There is no way to cancel your registered agent service in your account. When I tried to contact them and cancel my registered agent service, they never replied. I called once and was on hold forever then finally hung up, then I tried 5 different email addresses (filings@, support@, info@, hello@, and admin@). Finally, I canceled my card, so they can't charge it. Now I'm getting emails warning me that they can't charge my account. Good. Maybe that will end it.
The entities are Mustard Seed Homes and Fusion Coliving.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our support team. We’re sorry to hear that you encountered an issue, and we’d like to better understand what happened so we can look into it further.
We were able to identify your account using two email addresses. However, after conducting an initial review, we were unable to locate any emails or previous correspondence from either address associated with your account.
To help us investigate this further, could you please confirm at least the entity name you’re referring to? Once we have that information, we’ll be happy to double-check our records and look into the matter more closely.

Hello Ayman!
Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with BetterLegal. We appreciate your feedback; however, we would like to respectfully clarify a few points regarding your review.
We received your order on June 11, 2026, at approximately 4:00 PM EST. Shortly thereafter, at 5:30 PM EST, we sent you an email requesting the missing business purpose for your LLC, as this information is required to file an LLC in New Hampshire.
We did not receive a response until June 24, 2026, approximately 13 days later. When we proceeded with preparing your filing, we discovered that your requested LLC name was no longer available. We promptly notified you of this on June 26, 2026, and requested alternative business name options.
As of today, we have not yet received a response with your preferred alternative name(s), which has prevented us from moving forward with the filing.
If you could kindly reply to our email with your preferred alternative LLC name(s), we would be happy to proceed with your filing as quickly as possible and obtain all the necessary documents for your LLC without further delay.
Thank you, and we look forward to assisting you.

Deceptive company
Deceptive company. Please do your due diligence before ordering with this company. They do not respond. No phone number. Their 5 star rating in their Google sponsored ads is also another deceptive practice. Steer clear from this company.

SubImmediate Action Required – Filing Discrepancies and Refundject
Subject: Immediate Action Required – Filing Discrepancies and Refund Demand
I am writing to formally address significant concerns regarding the handling of my business filing.
I have received multiple communications stating that my company was successfully filed on March 21, 2026. However, to date, I have not received any official documentation confirming this filing. Additionally, a search of my state’s business registry yields no record of the organization, which directly contradicts the claim that the filing has been completed.
Further, I have received follow-up emails indicating that filings may take longer than expected and are still being processed. This is inconsistent with the prior communication clearly stating that the filing had already been completed and that the next step would be obtaining the EIN. No progress or documentation related to the EIN has been provided.
Attempts to resolve this matter via phone have been unsuccessful, as I have only been met with an automated AI system. This lack of access to a live representative is unacceptable given the seriousness and time sensitivity of this issue.
At this point, the inconsistencies, lack of transparency, and failure to deliver services as represented raise serious concerns. I have adhered to my obligations and made payment in good faith, and I expect the same level of professionalism and accountability in return.
Due to these unresolved issues, I am formally requesting an immediate refund of all fees paid. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to pursue further action to recover my funds.
I expect a clear response, including either proof of completed filing with verifiable documentation or confirmation of a full refund, without further delay.

Scam company
Scam company. There is no way of contacting a human, only web form, they do not respond to emails and the phone number I was able to find only connects to an AI agent. As far as I know they don't exist.
After paying them for several years, all of a sudden my account login "does not exist" and there is no way of addressing this issue.

Hi Justin, I've requested more information through Trustpilot so I can look up your account and understand what's going on.
Most of the time when an account is not found, it's because the customer originally signed up under a different email address.
If you can verify your information for us, we'll be able to look up your entity and change the email your account is listed under.

Stay way from this business
I am their customer. After 10 emails and many voicemails, they never returned a call regarding Registered Agent Service. Untrustworthy and corrupt bait-and-switch business practices. If I could give them negative stars

No customer support.
Writing this review out of frustration, I paid for LLC prior to the new year , I get the holiday time and all but it's been two weeks since and there's been no progress. I used a different service before and had no issues, figured I'd give these guys a shot due to the great offer but after 3 emails I've received no response. Their website still says black Friday deals, there's terrible reviews everywhere about their lack of customer service , lack of response and lack of care and it's showing. Their policy you do not receive a refund for any reason so now I'm SOL and lost the $ since I'm sure my LLC will never be filed. Will be also reporting to the BBB.

Hi Carlos,
I understand your frustration and have a reasonable explanation as to why you're experiencing these difficulties.
The State of Arizona's online filing portal has been down for 2 weeks which has prevented us from executing any filings for that period of time. This is not an "us" problem, this is a problem with anyone trying to file online with the State of Arizona.
In the 10 years we've been filing businesses, there have been plenty of states that have had exceptionally long delays in filings for various reasons, but I've never seen an entire State's filing website down for more than a few days. Each day we assume they'll have it fixed, but they don't.
We should have been more clear with our customers about the delay, but Arizona has a 2-week filing turnaround anyways so we assumed most Arizona customers wouldn't expect a fast turnaround. I apologize for that lack of communication.
Our policy says no refunds for any reason because an attorney wrote it, but we execute refunds regularly for a multitude of reasons.
Attached is a receipt for your refund for the State of Arizona filing fee of $85
