Kevin Brendan Murphy's Reviews

Mr. Murphy, also known as Mr. Franchise in the industry, helped me and the other franchisees in our network negotiate a walk-away from our franchise contracts. He found all kinds of things that were not disclosed in our FDD's as well as other legal mis-steps taken by the franchisor after we signed up. As he told our group "I put these things together, I definitely know how to take them apart." Highly recommend.

Helped me get out of a very bad franchise. It was the worst nightmare of our life and Mr. Murphy completely turned the table around. Other attorneys told us we didn't have a case. Glad we found him.

We used Mr. Murphy's firm to franchise our business. His advice and services were excellent and done on-time. Working with a franchise attorney who has an MBA was a real plus for us. He understood the business as well as the legal aspects of franchising. That saved us a lot of money by not having to hire a franchise consultant for this aspect. His training of our management team as we entered the franchise industry was very helpful.

Retained Mr. Murphy to review our company's planned expansion using a licensing vs. franchising model. He explained the differences and pitfalls of the license vs. franchise approach and put us back on the right path. Very straightforward, responsive and knowledgeable - he's a true expert in this area.

Helped me review a franchise I was seriously considering - I'd even booked travel to attend the franchise training program. Mr. Murphy saved me (and my family) from making a $500,000 mistake. Looking back, the red flags he found were all there - just hard to discover when the franchise company gets you all hyped up and excited. Plus the fine-print contract seemed standard and innocent enough - the franchise company told me I didn't even need an attorney to look it over. I'm so glad I found Franchise Foundations and Mr. Murphy - an extremely competent franchise attorney.

Mr. Murphy, known in the industry as Mr. Franchise, consulted with a large franchisor I used to work for (Carl's Jr. - CKE), fine-tuned our franchise legal docs and manuals, trained our marketing and management teams, helped us set up various programs (including international), and gave us a lot of excellent ongoing advice. He promptly returns calls and emails. We really liked his business sense - a great addition to his franchise attorney legal skills, especially important in the franchise industry.
