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.

Franchise Review

I hired Kevin to review the FDD for a franchise that I was thinking of investing in. I met with Kevin for an initial consultation where he explained what entails in his FDD review and the pricing associated with it. Kevin’s review was very extensive pointing out specific disclosures that I was no...t aware of. Kevin also explained what my obligations were as the franchisee as well as what the franchisor’s was. I was very happy with hiring Kevin to review the FDD and felt a lot more comfortable moving forward the franchise because of his insight. Thank you Kevin.

Exceptional Attorney

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kilcommons to review the FDD for a franchise business we were considering starting. He reviewed the 500 page FDD in a week and discussed it in great details with us. He then gave us recommendations and talking points to discuss with the franchiso...r which helped reassure us and alleviated our concerns. Mr. Kilcommons' in dept knowledge of the franchise business, diligence and flexibility coupled with his exceptional professionalism makes us elated to have him as our attorney. We look forward to retaining him as we go through the process of finalizing a contract and setting up our business.
