'Quicken Family Lawyer,' or QFL for short, is an advanced version of one of Parsons Technology's earlier products, 'It's Legal.' QFL's function in life is to provide personal legal forms and some legal guidance and, overall, it looks like a pretty good package. I'm looking for an old copy of Parsons Technology's 'It's Legal 5.0'. Is it available on a disk? Parsons; its legal; cd. Instead of trying to use the same old software over and over again, I suggest you try another product called Family Lawyer. Answered Aug 3, 2013 by anonymous. I have a copy of the It's Legal 5.0 I can't get it.

History[edit]
Former Parsons headquarters in Pasadena, California
Parsons was founded by Ralph M. Parsons in 1944.[3] During the Cold War, Parsons provided process engineering, facility design, construction services and operated various jet propulsion facilities—nuclear, chemical, and heavy fuels. It also delivered electronics, instrumentation, and ground checkout systems design and engineering for aircraft, missiles and rockets.[4] In 1974, Parsons opened the first part of its Pasadena headquarters building complex in Pasadena; the complex supported efforts by the Pasadena Redevelopment Agency to redevelop parts of the city.[5]
In late February 2019, Parsons announced the move of its headquarters from Pasadena, California to Centreville, Virginia.[6]
On 8 May 2019, Parsons executed an Initial Public Offering of approximately $500M on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PSN.[7]

Controversial projects[edit]
Iraqi health care centers[edit]
Parsons Family Lawyer Software
Parsons was awarded a contract for a $243 million project to build 150 health care centers in Iraq in March 2004. By March 2006, $186 million had been spent, with six centers complete and accepted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 135 centers only partly complete, and one reassigned to another contractor. USACE progressively terminated the contract from September 2005 to March 2006, eventually requiring Parsons to complete a total of 20 centers with the others to be completed by other contractors. The estimated cost for the completion of the other 121 centers was $36 million.[17]
Parsons and USACE disputed the degree to which the final 20 centers were completed.[18] A report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction cited problems, including 'high turnover among government personnel.. directions.. given without agreement from the contractor.. program managers' responsiveness to contractor communications, cost and time reporting, administration and quality assurance'.[18]
CBOSS Positive train control system[edit]
It's Legal Software Parsons Technology Jobs
Parsons was contracted in 2011 to implement a custom positive train control system for Caltrain, to be completed before the December 2015 federal PTC deadline mandated by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008.[19] The project, called the Communications Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS), failed to meet its 2015 delivery date and Caltrain terminated the contract as a result of 'non-performance in 2017 after many months of delay and repeated failure by the contractor to correct performance issues.'[19][20] After the cancellation of the Parsons contract, Caltrain approved a new contract for an off-the-shelf PTC system from Wabtec Corporation.[19][21]
