The Walsh Banks Law firm has been an outstanding counsel in our business legal matters, especially with franchise agreement issues in Florida. Intelligent, accessible, and experienced, Brian Walsh, Esq., and Brandon Banks, Esq. are smart and trusted advisors to avoid problems, and to resovle them in our favor when they erupt. They devised a reasoned legal approach and are more than able to use real litigation as necessary. Highly recommended as business counsel: advice, progess and results.
We have had a great experience using Brian. As a CEO I rely on his wisdom and judgement on a frequent basis. He is extremely knowledgeable concerning the law and always puts the client first. Also happens to be a great guy! Highly recommend!

The Best
Dealing with legal issues is never a pleasant experience. To say that our recent case was stressful is an understatement. When I first reached out to Brian at Walsh Banks, I knew immediately that they were the right firm for me. Their personal attention to my case & communication during the process was top notch.
It was a long and lengthy battle but with Brian at our side, we prevailed. They will continue to represent us moving forward with my business. I would HIGHLY recommend Brian to anyone who needs representation.

Thoughtful, thorough and well versed in commercial matters
Brian was a pleasure to work with. He understood the subject matter and was able to quickly assess and trouble shoot issues without going overboard. He quickly responded when called upon at the last minute and his calm and friendly demeanor in a chaotic and complex business deal was especially helpful and appreciated.

Review of Business Operating Agreement
We were investing in a new company, and we had asked Brian Walsh to review the operating agreement proposal for a new/existing business we were going to invest in and become partners.

Based on this legal, business , and professional analysis he was able help us understand all the Pros and Cons. I highly recommend Brian Walsh in the future to anyone.
