Great advisor for a would-be franchisee

Mr. Kilcommons was referred to me by a friend who had previously bought a franchise and used his services during the negotiation. As a new prospective franchisee, I wanted to make sure I invested in the best franchise for me. Mr. Kilcommons initially consulted with my husband and I to learn about our... goals, our familiarity with the franchise we'd identified, and its customer base. While learning about us, Mr. Kilcommons clearly explained his process and what we could expect as the outcome of his analysis. Once Mr. Kilcommons reviewed the financial disclosure document and franchise agreement, he provided a memo that detailed the contents disclosure document, agreement in plain language, what we should expect from the franchisor, while advising on pitfalls we should be aware of. After our meeting and receipt of the memo, I felt very comfortable that I knew what I was getting into and that I had made the right decision in choosing Mr. Kilcommons. So much so, that I will be using him in my upcoming retail space lease negotiations.

Franchisee Representation

In 2017 I made a huge career change and went into the restaurant business, starting with becoming a franchisee of a national sandwich chain not well known in NJ. After interviewing one NJ franchisee attorney who tried to cross-sell me to a franchise broker, I happened upon Kevin's website, talked to... him, and hired him to be my business attorney. Kevin and I have only been working together for about a year, and yet I can highly recommend Kevin to represent franchisees after seeing his work on my contracts with a franchisor and in a prolonged retail lease negotiation, which we are signing this week. You will be well served by Kevin, Susan and the rest of his staff, and their pricing structure is reasonable. Oh, did I mention that my prior career was as an attorney for 20 years at a big law firm and corporations big and small?
