Stanley M. Dub

My husband and I were considering taking advantage of a franchise opportunity with a California-based franchisor. After visiting one of the established franchise locations in CA, we liked the business model and thought that the service would be well-received in the Cleveland area. We were very clos...e to committing, but wanted a attorney to review the franchise disclosure package. Mr. Dub quickly reviewed the disclosure package and provided a detailed analysis which highlighted a number of things in the agreement which were, "one-sided in needless ways" and which did not, "accommodate the business realities of this new franchisor situation". We shared Mr. Dub's suggested modifications with the franchisor, however there was no room for flexibility with regard to the agreement. In the end, we walked away from this opportunity. While many people could have been successful with the franchise, Mr. Dub helped us to recognize that it was a lot to risk on something that did not fully meet our expectations and requirements. His council was an invaluable investment that undoubtedly saved us a great deal of resources in the long run. He is truly a subject matter expert.

I chose Stanley Dub to review my franchise agreement and assist me in negotiating my franchise renewal. I chose him because of his vast experience in franchise law and knowledge of franchise agreements. There were many items in the agreement that I wanted to change as well as items that Stan advise...d could become potential problems. He communicated and negotiated with the corporate attorneys in a very timely and professional manner. I recently signed my franchise renewal and I am very satisfied with the results Stan was able to obtain. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for legal advice on franchise agreements and law.
