Great franchise lawyer!

While consulting for a client, I was able to find in Rob a great help with any kind of legal questions, especially referring to starting a brand new franchise from scratch. Rob was very patient, e-met with my customers and explained everything in a very clear and detailed way. I would strongly recomm...end Rob.

Review from Stork Vision Ultrasound Franchisor

Rob has been our franchise attorney since we began offering Stork Vision franchises in 2007. He was instrumental in ensuring our documents where fully compliant with FTC requirements. He has since been a key player in obtaining state registrations in a timely and cost-effective manner. We also rely o...n Rob for his advice and expertise regarding all other legal matters pertaining to our franchise. We would not be where we are today without his legal guidance and support. We highly recommend Rob to any franchisor, whether new or already established.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
