LegalShield Announces Launch of Largest Spanish-Speaking Attorney Network in the United States
ADA, Oklahoma, Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — LegalShield, one of North America’s leading providers of affordable legal plans for individuals, families and small businesses, announced today that it will now offer Spanish-language legal plans to serve the more than 58 million Latinos in the U.S.
Through its new provider network of law firms throughout the United States, LegalShield en Español taps into the largest network of Latino and Spanish-speaking lawyers in the country, providing members with all of the same benefits and services as the personal legal plan. Prices start at $24.95.
For a low monthly cost, members get access to the largest network of Latino and Spanish-speaking lawyers in the country. LegalShield en Español members can speak with their law firm to obtain legal advice and consultation, have letters and phone calls completed on their behalf, contract and document review, traffic assistance, Wills and Power of Attorney, among other services. Details can be found at www.legalshield.com/es.
To leverage the investment in technology, LegalShield’s acclaimed mobile app and websites have been adapted into Spanish, and there is a team of bilingual member service representatives to support LegalShield en Español members. The mobile app is available in both iOS and Android.
“Affordable access to justice should not be limited only to English-speakers who can afford expensive lawyers, and it’s clear that the U.S. Latino population has been tragically underserved within the U.S. justice system, ” said Jeff Bell, Chief Executive Officer, LegalShield. “According to the American Bar Association, only five percent of lawyers in the U.S. are Latino and with limited Spanish language-access services in courtrooms, this puts a disproportionate population of residents at a disadvantage in obtaining legal protection. Our goal is to bring accessible and affordable legal services to millions of Latinos throughout the country, using technology to close the justice gap.”
“By signing up for the LegalShield en Español plan, members can feel secure in obtaining crucial legal protection from life’s uncertainties. For many Latinos, it’s crucial to turn to someone who not only speaks the language but understands the culture, ” said Eduardo Casas, LegalShield en Español product lead. “Through the LegalShield en Español Provider Law Firm network, individuals and families can speak with experienced Spanish-speaking lawyers for everything from traffic tickets to will preparation, as well as emergency legal access when being detained by law enforcement.”
About LegalShield
A pioneer in the democratization of affordable access to legal protection, LegalShield is one of North America’s leading providers of legal safeguards and protection against identity theft for individuals, families and small businesses. The 45-year-old company has more than 1,753,000 members that are covered by its legal and identity theft plans. IDShield provides identity theft protection to one million individuals.

LegalShield’s legal plans provide access to attorneys with an average of 22 years of experience in areas such as family matters, estate planning, financial and business issues, consumer protection, tax, real estate, benefits disputes and auto/driving issues. Unlike other legal plans or do-it-yourself websites, LegalShield has dedicated law firms in 50 states and four provinces in Canada that members can call for help without having to worry about high hourly rates.
IDShield provides identity monitoring and restoration services and is the only identity theft protection company armed with a team of licensed private investigators on call to restore a member’s identity.

2019 Acura NSX Debuts in Monterey with Design Updates, Chassis Enhancements and Expanded Color Palette
MONTEREY, California, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2019 Acura NSX will make its debut at Monterey Car Week featuring new design cues, exterior and interior color combinations, and chassis upgrades that enhance vehicle dynamics. The 2019 Acura NSX will first be displayed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. The 2019 NSX is available for order today with U.S. deliveries slated to begin in October. For more information, visit Acura.com/NSX.
Design Updates, Expanded Color Palette
New for 2019, a striking Thermal Orange Pearl premium paint option continues the tradition of NSX color names inspired by motorsports venues and iconic corners, and pays homage to 30 years of Acura motorsports vehicles with orange accented liveries. Joining the Thermal Orange Pearl exterior, optional carbon ceramic metallic (CCM) brakes can now be fitted with orange calipers. New for 2019, the standard iron brakes can now be fitted with red calipers.
All 2019 NSX models are distinguished by a new body-color front grille garnish (previously silver) and high-gloss treatments for the front grille surround, front air intake mesh and rear bumper outlet mesh. High-gloss treatment is also applied to the available Carbon Fiber Decklid Spoiler and Carbon Fiber Exterior Package – including a front chin spoiler, side sill garnish and rear diffuser.
Inside the cockpit, the 2019 NSX color palette is expanded with the addition of an optional Indigo blue Semi-aniline leather and Alcantara® theme. The available semi-aniline full leather (non-Alcantara) power sport seats can now be optioned in Red in addition to Ebony. Power sport seats (4-way), previously a $1,500 option, are now standard equipment. Lightweight manually adjustable sport seats, wrapped in Black Milano leather and Alcantara, remain an available no-cost option. Satellite-Linked Navigation, ELS Studio® premium audio, front and rear proximity sensors and aluminum sport pedals, previously optional equipment, are now standard.
Dynamics Enhancements
For the 2019 model, engineers modified chassis components, tires and software tuning to make NSX even more responsive to the will of the driver, elevating performance driving in all circumstances, from daily driving to the circuit. At the limit, the NSX’s balance, playfulness and controllability has improved, allowing the driver to more precisely modulate understeer and oversteer with subtle throttle inputs. The changes resulted in a nearly 2-second faster lap time in testing around the world famous Suzuka Circuit.
Chassis enhancements include larger front and rear stabilizer bars (increasing stiffness by 26 percent in front, 19 percent at the rear) and 21 percent stiffer rear toe link bushings. Rear hub rigidity has increased 6 percent. Software calibrations to the NSX’s Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® power unit, active magnetorheological dampers, electric power steering and VSA settings capitalize on this new hardware, as well as the grippier tire setup.
The 2019 NSX rides on new Continental SportContact™ 6 tires, developed exclusively for the NSX. The new tires (replacing Continental ContiSportContact™ 5P) feature a revised tread pattern, construction and rubber compound for improved handling performance in all conditions—from daily commuting to track use—including wet weather driving. The track-focused Pirelli P Zero™ Trofeo R remains an optional dealer-installed tire.
Electrifying Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® Power Unit
The 2019 NSX is powered by a Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® power unit consisting of a twin-turbocharged mid‑mounted V6 engine paired with a 9-speed dual clutch transmission (9DCT). An electric Direct Drive Motor integrated with the engine and 9DCT supplements the engine with instantaneous electric torque. Containing two additional electric motors, the front-mounted Twin Motor Unit (TMU) continuously varies torque—both positive and negative—to the left and right front wheels to enhance handling precision and cornering capabilities, elevating any driver’s confidence and performance. Maximum peak system output is 573 horsepower and 476 lb.-ft. of torque.
The NSX’s Integrated Dynamics System—with Quiet, Sport, Sport+ and Track modes—provides for a wider range of driving experiences than conventional supercars. The NSX features an advanced, multi-material body and aluminum-intensive space frame with the world’s first application of aluminum ablation casting in the space frame structure, enabling ultra-high rigidity, compact packaging and outstanding collision safety performance.
2019 Acura NSX Pricing and Feature Changes
Each NSX is crafted one-by-one at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohioi and continues the NSX tradition of offering an incredible performance value in the supercar market. The 2019 model starts at $157,500ii (an increase of $1,500 over the 2018 model) with $4,700 in previously optional content now standard (4-way power sport seats, Satellite-Linked Navigation, ELS Studio® premium audio, proximity sensors and aluminum sport pedals).
Participate in the Making of Your Custom Supercar
All new NSX owners have the opportunity to join the NSX Insider Experience, a personalized program that allows NSX owners to participate in the making of their bespoke supercar. The program offers a curated, one-on-one tour of key Acura facilities across Ohio, including the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC), where the NSX is built, and the NSX engine assembly room at the Anna Engine Plant. Guests also have the opportunity to track an NSX, guided by a professional driver, on one of the primary proving grounds where it was developed and tuned – the Transportation Research Center (TRC).
The NSX Insider Experience is offered in six distinct packages with one and two-day tour options, which can be customized to include a tour of the Anna Engine Plant in addition to the tour of the PMC. Additional options include a two or four-hour performance driving experience at the Acura Proving Grounds, as well as a tour of the Honda Heritage Center. Packages start at $2,700. More information on the NSX Insider Experience is available at NSXInsiderExperience.com.
NSX Motorsports Success
Based on the NSX road car and utilizing its twin-turbocharged V6 powerplant and multi-material space frame, the NSX GT3 race car has already taken multiple poles, checkered flags and podiums, including consecutive wins on the streets of Belle Isle in Detroit (2017 and 2018). Now in its sophomore season of the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship, the NSX GT3 is currently in the running for the Manufacturer, Team (Meyer Shank Racing) and Driver Championship (Katherine Legge).
The race-winning, carbon fiber NSX GT3 is offered for sale globally at a starting price of €465,000iii. Available for customer purchase since July 2017, the NSX GT3 is now in the hands of both professional and amateur racers globally, and certified to compete in more than a dozen FIA-sanctioned racing series around the world.

Workshops to address toxic masculinity in high schools during National Bullying Prevention Month
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, New Jersey, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — During National Bullying Prevention Month in October, AXE will address outdated male stereotypes and harmful labels with its high school Senior Orientation workshops. After a pilot program last year at Centennial High School in Columbus, Ohio, 81 percent of the student body said their view of masculinity evolved for the better. Co-created by rapper and actor KYLE and masculinity expert and poet Carlos Andrés Gómez, this year’s curriculum will challenge students to replace toxic behaviors like bullying and “locker-room talk” with positivity and inclusiveness.
The high school years should be a time when young people feel empowered to explore and express who they are and who they’re becoming. Yet – whether it’s in the halls, on the field, in the lab, or at a party – young guys too often feel pressure to live up to certain toxic notions of masculinity that lead to unnecessarily aggressive behavior. In fact, 1 in 3 guys admit to bullying their peers, with 3 in 4 being the victims of those bullies themselves.*
This October, Senior Orientation will head to two high schools, both of which will be announced at a later date.
“Being involved in a program like this is especially important to me because of my own personal experiences growing up. I didn’t feel like I always fit in because I opted for the drama club instead of the football team. Because of this, I was perceived as being more sensitive by other kids my age. Now, these are the things that have made me the person and performer that I am today,” said KYLE. “I wish I had resources like this program when I was younger to tell me that it’s okay to be myself.”
This year’s program will kick off with a return visit to Centennial on Aug. 23 where student and participant in the inaugural Senior Orientation, Aria Brent, shared, “Senior Orientation inspired my school. Everyone could feel its effect in the hallways, even just in the way people talked to one another. AXE is bringing an important message to young guys and girls. I’m grateful to have had a voice in it last year and continue spreading its message of positivity and inclusiveness in my community.”
Senior Orientation is part of the AXE Find Your Magic Initiative which aims to break the cycle of toxic masculinity by providing guys with resources to live more freely. The brand and its partners, Promundo and Ditch the Label, work together to dive into the causes and effects of the issue, drive wider awareness among both men and women, and help provide young guys with tools to be their most authentic selves.
- Gender-equality non-profit research organization, Promundo, commissioned a new study, “The Bullying Crisis,” which exposes the limiting effects bullying, and particularly cyberbullying as a direct result of the current societal expectations associated with masculinity.
- AXE launched #AXEpressYourself, a social initiative in partnership with anti-bullying non-profit organization, Ditch the Label, which challenged guys to experiment with new hairstyles for a good cause while inspiring them to find their magic by embracing and confidently expressing what makes them unique. For every new style shared and tagged with #AXEpressYourself from March through July 2018, AXE donated $1 to Ditch the Label.
AXE is dedicated to helping you #FindYourMagic. To get involved in the Find Your Magic Initiative and #SeniorOrientation conversation, follow @AXE on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

KYLE is peddling joy because he knows the world needs it —because he, himself, needs it.” NME declared LIGHT OF MINE to be “a courageous effort doubling as a self-help soundtrack to anyone struggling with life’s endeavors…judging by the strength of LIGHT OF MINE alone, though, 2018 could be his for the taking.”

BaronHR And Management Unjustly Named
ANAHEIM HILLS, California, Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “BaronHR and it’s Family of Staffing Agencies (“BaronHR”) has recently been made subject of a criminal filing brought by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office at the urging of American Insurance Group (“AIG”) and which falsely alleges illegal business practices against BaronHR in its insurance relationship with AIG.
BaronHR and its management are unjustly named in this action. This case involves an insurance policy in effect in 2013 and into 2014. The company, and the listed individual defendants, had fully cooperated in a formal audit conducted by AIG representatives in 2016 in connection with this same policy. At that time, each and every issue made subject to this “complaint” was fully resolved.
AIG now claims “damages” for issues which were already made subject of this extensive audit and for which substantial additional amounts and supplemental premiums were already paid.
The same issues now made subject to this “criminal complaint” were not only resolved within the formal audit, they have been addressed within civil court proceedings. At no time has BaronHR failed to prevail when the exact same subject matter was brought in civil court. In fact, AIG has been bound to its coverage obligations at all relevant times by civil courts.
Apparently, in the ultimate showing of bad faith and desperation, AIG has utilized its influence with the “Insurance Fraud” division or the district attorney’s office to achieve through criminal proceedings what it could not achieve in its efforts in civil courts.
This attempt at “double dipping” is illegal. BaronHR has now been compelled to file a civil action against AIG for its bad faith insurance practices. The company is confident that it will recover not only the amounts which were already paid within the formal audit conducted with AIG but will also recover punitive damages with attorney fees and costs.
As additional clarification of issues which have been falsely alleged in connection with this matter; the following issues bear note:
1. There was no “bail” issued in connection with this case. As a point of fact, no defendants were “arrested” and no bail was required under an agreement with the DA.
2. No company assets have been seized and management has not been deprived of the use of any company proceeds.
3. BaronHR is continuing all of its business operations in its standard course and has full confidence in receiving full recompense for this unjustified effort at “double dipping” by AIG which is currently being employed through this “criminal process”.
The company issues this statement to any and all interested parties in the interests of clarity and full disclosure. Our business partners, including banks, professional employer organizations and insurance companies are supportive of our approach in dealing with these unsubstantiated allegations. We are confident that the matter will ultimately resolve in our favor.
