Our Story

Founded in 1990, PLLS emerged from a recognition that employers offering preventive healthcare plans and included ACA compliant plans needed specialized legal defense when facing government audits. As IRS and DOL scrutiny increased, businesses faced devastating legal costs when their plans were examined, with no dedicated resource for expert defense.

What began as a small practice defending IRS Section 125 audits has grown into the nation's leading provider of legal expense protection for employers facing preventive healthcare plan examinations. We've defended over 2,000 employers and 15,000 employees against government audits, with a success rate exceeding 95% in achieving favorable outcomes.

Today, PLLS continues our founding mission: providing peace of mind to employers by ensuring expert legal defense is ready if their preventive health benefits face regulatory examination, without the fear of catastrophic legal costs.
