“While her employment with Sunstates Security, Lisa Butler was our Legal/Compliance Director along with Human Resources Director for a short time. She was extremely knowledgeable with the legal/compliance aspect of our industry and always lent a hand to those of us in the field. Very confident and dedicated co-worker as I enjoyed working with her. She has been missed by many. I worked as a Director in the Texas/New Mexico markets as she assisted me with several compliance concerns with the partnering states. Her knowledge and expertise were truly sought by those of us in the field. I would strongly recommend her with utmost enthusiasm.”
