About Us

The Legacy Connection (TLC) is an award-winning, full-service telecommunication company partnering with clients to seamlessly integrate business solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  We design communication strategies to meet every client’s need while enhancing customer experiences with live, personal attention rather than automated voicemail, as well as offering professional receptionist services at a fraction of the cost of in-house staff.  Although our list of services is extensive our motto is always the same:  “The Legacy Connection, Answering every caller with TLC…since 1955”.

The Legacy Connection has a long history of client service, dating back to 1955 when the company was founded in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, by Ms. Hazel Brown Upchurch.

Although the name of Ms. Upchurch’s company has changed over the years, as has the technology, the family of Ms. Upchurch continues to run the growing business under the management of Robin Bailey (wife of Ms. Upchurch’s nephew, Tom).
