Excellent advice and service

I hired Brian and his team to assist me with the negotiation of a franchise agreement as a franchisee. Thanks to his experience and expertise, Brian quickly identified key issues to address with the franchisor, which resulted in an excellent outcome for me. He also diligently reviewed the FDD, high...lighting potential red flags, and providing me comfort about the franchisor's legal history. In addition to his valuable advice, Brian was a pleasure to work with. He made himself available to answer any of my questions or concerns, and was very generous with his time, making me feel like my business was truly valued despite only being a start-up. Finally, I also enjoyed working with Brian's team, which was extremely professional and pleasant. In conclusion, I have found in Brian and his team an extremely valuable resource for my business, and a long-term business relationship!

Great Law Firm and lawyer!

We just wanted to thank you all for getting us to this point in our business! The entire Internicola law firm team has been incredible and we feel very lucky to have worked with you to get to this point in our new and exciting journey as franchise owners! From the very first call to your offic...e, each and every person who has picked up the phone has treated us with kindness and support and we felt like we could talk to any one of them about what was going on....and we did! (lol) We had spoken to several other attorneys before calling your office, and are so glad we found your group! One of the things we appreciated, besides the great customer service, was the fact that you were able to review our franchise agreement, as well as dealing with the real estate review. It’s a one stop shopping experience and helps that you understood our business model when reviewing the lease. Brian, our attorney, spent time on the phone with us reviewing each item and making sure that we understood what we were signing. We never felt rushed and we’re always given adequate time to have all of our questions answered. We also feel very fortunate to know that as questions arise in the future, we can go back to the Internicola law firm and they will be familiar with our details of our franchise agreement and lease. We recommend the Internicola Law Firm without hesitation.

Would highly recommend!

Brian reviewed and negotiated both our franchise agreement and lease contracts. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to work with. He was very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had and we couldn't have had a better experience with Brian and his very friendly... and professional staff.

Review of Brian Lincer

I hired Brian to review a franchise agreement. Brian proved to be very knowledgeable in franchise law as well as provided excellent customer service. He distilled the agreement down to a few key issues I should focus on, clearly explained my options, and provided guidance based on his experience in... the franchise industry whether the franchisor was reputable or not. I will be using Brian as my franchise attorney moving forward and would highly recommend him to others.

I'm a lawyer but franchise not my area - Enter Brian! Expert!

I'm taking a franchise, and as a lawyer myself I know one needs expert advise from an expert in the specific area. Don't go to your cousin the lawyer for your franchise advise! I'll confess I spoke with Brian a bit to get a level of confidence but that took about 3 minutes before it became clear th...at Brian really really knows franchising. AND The service and responsiveness is terrific! We're still working together and I expect it will be a long term relationship.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
