Kitt was hands-on and top of every detail as I made a SMB purchase in 2017. I highly recommend Kitt as she is a highly talented attorney especially when dealing with franchises.

Director of Franchise Development
Kitt's experience in franchising was a tremendous help in looking over legal documents and supporting the process. I think she has a lot of insight into the world of franchising and can assist anyone who is looking at franchising as a future opportunity.
