Cancel Lawcrossing: The Right Way

How to cancel Lawcrossing and protect your money: a philippine consumer guide

Understanding Lawcrossing and what your subscription actually covers

Lawcrossing is a legal job board based in the United States that connects lawyers, paralegals, law students and other legal professionals with job opportunities across different practice areas. When you subscribe, you gain access to their complete listing database rather than searching job posts individually. The service operates from Pasadena, California, but Philippine users can access it easily-though the cancellation process is deliberately unclear.

Your subscription gives you full access to law-related job postings updated regularly. You are not paying for job placement guarantees, interview coaching or career counselling. The platform simply provides visibility into openings so you can apply directly to employers. Many users sign up because the introductory offer appears affordable, but the automatic renewal system catches people off guard when the trial period ends and charges increase significantly.

What Lawcrossing offers philippine subscribers

Your access includes browsing active job listings filtered by practice area, location and experience level. You can set up job alerts, save favourite listings and apply directly through the platform. The database updates regularly, so new opportunities appear daily. However, you should know that Lawcrossing does not guarantee interviews, employment outcomes or even that posted positions remain available when you apply.

Pricing structure and automatic renewal

Lawcrossing charges subscribers in US dollars, which means your peso cost fluctuates based on the current exchange rate. The introductory rate is $1.25 (approximately ₱71) weekly for the first 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, your subscription converts automatically to the standard rate of $25.00 (approximately ₱1,412) every four weeks. This automatic renewal continues unless you actively cancel, and the company does not send reminder notifications before charging you.

Because Lawcrossing charges in foreign currency and uses automatic renewal, your actual costs depend on two factors: the peso-to-dollar exchange rate on your billing date, and whether you cancel before the renewal processes. Many Philippine subscribers discover unexpected charges because they did not cancel before the trial period ended.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Lawcrossing

As a Philippine consumer, you have strong legal protections when cancelling subscription services.

What philippine law guarantees you

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you against unfair contract terms and automatic renewal traps. Under this law, you have the right to cancel any subscription or membership without penalty, provided the company gave you clear notice of its terms before you agreed. You also have the right to demand a refund if the company charged you without clear authorisation or if the service failed to deliver what was advertised.

Your legal position is this: Lawcrossing must cancel your subscription immediately upon your request, and the company cannot charge you for periods after your cancellation date. If Lawcrossing continues charging you after you cancelled, you have grounds to dispute those charges through your payment provider and escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which enforces consumer protection laws in the Philippines.

Automatic renewal and your rights

The Consumer Act explicitly requires companies to obtain affirmative consent before any automatic renewal. This means Lawcrossing must have shown you clearly that your trial would convert to paid membership automatically. If you signed up without seeing this disclosure, or if the disclosure was buried in fine print, the company may have violated your rights. In such cases, you can demand a full refund of charges that occurred after your trial period.

Document everything you see on the Lawcrossing website or in your confirmation emails regarding automatic renewal. If the company did not clearly disclose the conversion to paid status, save screenshots and prepare to escalate your complaint to the DTI Consumer Assistance Division.

How to cancel Lawcrossing by phone

The only verified cancellation method for Lawcrossing is a direct phone call to their US-based support team.

Preparation steps before you call

Gather the following information so your call stays efficient and you remain in control of the conversation:

• Your Lawcrossing account email address
• Your full name as it appears on your account
• The credit or debit card ending in the last four digits you used to subscribe
• Your account creation date or any confirmation emails from Lawcrossing
• A note of today's date and the exact time you call (for your records)

Having this information ready prevents the support representative from asking you to verify your identity multiple times, which delays the cancellation process.

Calling Lawcrossing support to cancel

Follow these steps to cancel your subscription:

1. Call Lawcrossing's customer support line at +1 (215) 386-0400. This is the main US phone number; be aware you are calling a US-based company, so consider time differences (Philippine time is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern Time).
2. When a representative answers, state clearly: "I want to cancel my Lawcrossing subscription effective immediately. I do not wish to renew my membership."
   • Avoid saying "I want to pause" or "I want to put my account on hold"-these phrases may result in a temporary suspension rather than a full cancellation.
   • Be direct and use the word "cancel".
3. Provide your account information when asked. The representative will verify your identity using your email, name or card details.
4. Listen for the representative to confirm the cancellation date. Ask explicitly: "Can you confirm today that my subscription is cancelled and no further charges will occur?" Get them to state this clearly.
5. Request that they email you a cancellation confirmation to your registered email address. Do not end the call without this confirmation sent.
6. Thank them and end the call. Do not agree to any retention offers or discounted rates unless you genuinely want to keep your subscription.

Write down the representative's name, the call time and the confirmation details immediately after hanging up. This record protects you if Lawcrossing charges you again after cancellation.

Understanding Lawcrossing refunds and billing disputes

Lawcrossing's refund policy varies depending on when you cancel and whether you have used the service.

When you qualify for a refund

If you cancel within the first 14 days of your subscription, Lawcrossing typically refunds your trial fee. However, if you cancel after 14 days but before the trial period ends, the company may not refund your introductory payments-the $1.25 weekly charges are considered non-refundable once you have accessed the service. This is one reason to cancel as soon as you know you will not use Lawcrossing.

If Lawcrossing charged you after you cancelled, or if you did not authorise the charges, you have the right to dispute them through your bank or credit card issuer. Contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback for any unauthorised post-cancellation charges.

Disputing charges through your bank

If Lawcrossing continues charging you after cancellation, do not wait for the company to refund you voluntarily. Instead, contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a dispute:

• Explain that you cancelled the subscription and have confirmation of that cancellation.
• Provide the cancellation confirmation email (or the date and representative name from your call).
• Request a chargeback for any charges dated after your cancellation date.
• Your bank will investigate and, in most cases, refund your money if you have proof of cancellation.

Using your bank's dispute process is faster and more effective than asking Lawcrossing to refund you directly, especially when dealing with a US-based company.

What to do after you cancel Lawcrossing

Cancellation is not complete until you verify the company has actually stopped charging you.

Monitoring your account after cancellation

After you cancel, take these steps to ensure Lawcrossing respects your request:

• Save your cancellation confirmation email in a safe folder. Do not delete it.
• Check your email for any account update notifications from Lawcrossing over the next two weeks.
• Review your bank or credit card statement for charges within 4-6 weeks to confirm Lawcrossing did not bill you again.
• If you see charges after your cancellation date, screenshot them and file a chargeback immediately.

Many subscription companies test whether cancelled customers will notice unauthorised charges. By monitoring your account, you catch these errors quickly and protect your money.

Common mistakes when cancelling Lawcrossing

Many people cancel incorrectly and end up charged again or unable to prove they cancelled.

Error 1: requesting cancellation via email or web form

Lawcrossing does not operate a reliable email or online cancellation system. If you email support requesting cancellation, there is no guarantee the message reaches the right department or that the company acts on it. Phone calls create a documented record and require a representative to process your request immediately.

Error 2: not getting written confirmation

If you cancel by phone and do not receive a confirmation email, you have no proof of cancellation if the company charges you again. Always insist the representative email you a cancellation confirmation before you end the call. This email is your protection.

Error 3: cancelling during the wrong time window

If you cancel within 24 hours of your billing date, the charge may already have processed and the system may not stop it in time. Cancel as early as possible in the billing cycle, not the night before you expect to be charged.

Error 4: confusing cancellation with downgrading or pausing

Some subscription companies offer options to "pause," "freeze" or "downgrade" accounts instead of cancelling. These are not cancellations. You will still be charged, just at a lower rate or after a delay. If you want to stop paying, use the word "cancel" explicitly.

Common traps to avoid when using Lawcrossing

Understand these pitfalls so you do not fall into them in the first place.

The introductory rate trap

The $1.25 weekly trial rate is designed to feel risk-free. Many subscribers think $1.25 is so cheap they might as well try the service. However, once the 12-week trial ends, Lawcrossing charges you $25.00 every four weeks automatically. This is a 2,000% price increase. Mark your calendar for when your trial ends and cancel before that date if you decide the service is not worth the standard rate.

The silent conversion trap

Lawcrossing does not send reminder emails when your trial period is ending or when your subscription converts to the standard rate. The first indication you get is the $25.00 charge on your statement. By then, you have already been charged. Set a phone reminder two weeks before your trial ends so you have time to cancel before the conversion happens.

The job search false positive trap

Even if you find one or two relevant job listings on Lawcrossing, this does not justify continuing the $25.00 monthly charge if you find jobs faster through other free boards like LinkedIn or government career sites. Evaluate whether Lawcrossing genuinely accelerates your job search or if you are paying for convenience you do not need.
