Best in the Business

I had the pleasure of working with Brian to review my Franchise Agreement. I could not ask for a more knowledgeable, detailed and attentive attorney to go through this process with. Brian left no question unanswered and ensured that I became a franchise owner with my eyes wide open. I would recommen...d Brian without hesitation.

Excellent Franchise Attorney

Brian represented my husband and I with the recent purchase of a Franchise. We were very impressed with Brian from the first point of contact until the contract was finalized. Brian used his extensive knowledge of Franchise agreements and laws to identify sections of the contract that he thought ne...eded to be re-negotiated on our behalf. Brian’s attention to detail is remarkable, he reviewed our agreement and then devised a plan for us to receive credit towards Royalties based on our client base prior to becoming a franchise. He also wrote several addendums to the agreement and negotiated with the franchisor to accept the addendums as part of the agreement. Brian was very prompt in returning phone calls and emails; making himself available whenever we needed him. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone who is thinking about purchasing a franchise, he is someone who you definitely want on your team representing you. Throughout the process Brian remained very professional but firm with the negotiations and ended up getting everything he wanted to have in our agreement. Even after the agreement was signed and finalized, Brian made himself available for questions, suggestions and clarification any time we called upon him. He loves what he does and it shows in his work!

Franchise agreement

Brian assisted me with the review of the franchise agreement and some parts of the negotiations. I honestly couldn't have found a better attorney to assist me through the process. I had give. The FDD to Brian on a Friday and he had completely reviewed it and made his notes by that next Monday. His no...tes and comments didn't just help me understand the worst case scenerio, but he also sat down with me and discussed items that should be negotiated or reworded in the agreement. I highly recommend Brian for anyone looking to start a franchise.

Excellent Service

Brian has assisted me with two legal matters and his service has been admirable. Brian assisted me in getting an erroneous subpoena for medical records quashed. He also assisted me and several others in a non-related legal dispute against my graduate school and its internship program. I would certai...nly recommend him to others seeking legal help. He is organized, thoughtful and aggressive.
