Bryan is a very good attorney and a highly respected member of the franchise legal community. As a litigator, Bryan has represented franchisees in a number of high-profile cases that have been important in franchising. Because of his outstanding track record and keen understanding of franchise law, I will not hesitate to refer work to Bryan when I can.

I know Bryan through the ABA Forum on Franchising. He is one of a handful of California lawyers to whom I turn with franchising issues or to refer clients.

I’ve known Bryan many years through various franchise law activities. He is a Franchise & Distribution Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. I have always found his knowledge and experience in franchise law to be very helpful when discussing situations we encounter. I especially like that fact that he applies common sense and good business judgment when suggesting legal solutions. I highly recommend that you talk to him if you need legal assistance with franchise matters or related business issues.
