Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Westminster, CO – March 22, 2012 – PSA Security Network® is pleased to announce LegalShield as a partner in the PSA Business Solutions program, a suite of value-added resources for security professionals.

Through LegalShield, PSA Security Network affiliates can have unlimited access to top quality law firms, experienced in all fields of law and in their local area, for a small monthly fee.

Geoff Cragg, LegalShield

“We are pleased to partner with PSA Security Network to bring legal advice, legal document review, small business consulting, estate planning, motor vehicle services, audit services and more to PSA owners and customers,” says Geoff Cragg of LegalShield.  “These services are designed to protect both individuals and businesses. These services also can protect the employees.”

Bill Bozeman, President & CEO, PSA Security Network

“LegalShield is a very beneficial service for the small to midsized security integrator companies,” said Bill Bozeman, president and CEO of PSA Security Network.  “For years our integrators have asked us to refer them to legal experts. Until now we did not have a good solution because the laws that govern our industry vary by state and there was not a single-source for this kind of demand. LegalShield offers valuable legal and business advice affordably and locally so that our integrators can get the answers they need from a reputable firm at a low cost.”
