Dear The Bar Plan Insureds, Business Partners and Friends,
During this time of health emergency and concern for the well-being of our families and fellow citizens, The Bar Plan is taking action to protect our employees and prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). However, to our customers and applicants for insurance and court bonds, you can continue to expect timely processing and issuing of policies as well as management of claims.
So that we can continue to provide you with the best possible service, we are requesting:

- Utilize our online portal for LPL New Business Applications, click here to start. (Online Renewal Applications will be available very soon)
