Firm Profile: I have represented franchisees in all line of business. Some clients were part of well established brands, while others were purchasing a system's very first franchise. I review disclosure documents, provide start-up help, assist with the sale of existing franchises, and deal with day-to-day franchise issues involving territory, advertising, support, audits terminations, and so forth. I also represent franchisors, especially those early in their lifecycle where my start-up and business experience comes in to play. Representing both franchisors and franchisees gives me a broad perspective which allows me to resolve issues more efficiently and economically.

Attorney Profile: Legal issues generally involve important business considerations. To me, "winning" means that my clients achieve their operational and financial objectives in a legal and ethical manner. While I am a lawyer, I'm also an IFA Certified Franchise Executive, I hold a Certificate in Franchise Management from Georgetown University, I have an MBA degree, and I have been in the trenches running my own law practice for over 20 years. With this background, I approach franchising as a business and not as a legal problem.
