Mario L Herman

I retained Mario to review the FDD (UFOC at the time) for the franchise I was thinking of buying. He went thoroughly through it, put post it notes on important points, sent that back to me to see all his comments. He also scheduled a meeting where he discussed his findings. Mario did not "nickel... and dime" for every email or phone call. He was caring, listened for what was important to me, and then kept those concerns in mind when reviewing the disclosure. I have also used larger firms, with partners and associates. I observed the partners, or senior lawyers, spending most of their interaction making sure the retainer was always well funded IN ADVANCE. I noticed the junior people were learning about franchising on my bill. I got billed for 5 minute emails, even if they were sharing news about the results of the latest football game. Having worked with Mario and with larger firms with less focus on franchising, and more on billable hours, I enthusiastically recommend Mario's services to anyone looking for an attorney that knows about franchise law and is focused on franchisee representation.

Mario is a superb litigator and achieved an outstanding result in a "franchise mess" we'd gotten ourselves into. He responds to emails and returns call promptly, always kept us advised of things and came up with a strategy the other attorneys we consulted never considered. If you're in a franchise me...ss, he's the guy for you. Highly recommend.
