Law and protection providers would have the natural incentive to focus on proactive crime prevention rather than just dealing with the damage. They would likely want to help you with security planning and offer discounts for doing it. Customer experience would be massively better than what we have now — providers would actually have to care about keeping their customers.
What if there's a legal dispute between providers? Well, governments these days disagree all the time and international justice is a mess. Still, they don't go to war over small things — even if they could do so with taxpayers' money. In case of voluntaristic providers that people are free to leave without moving to another country, there is even less incentive to go to war or leave "international" disputes unresolved. Members will go elsewhere if the price gets too high or the service too bad. Providers must co-operate and follow the common law, or else they will face external pressure and increased costs.

We will have decentralized and voluntary alternatives that outcompete stagnant government services.
