Contact me, for experienced, skilled legal assistance involving the following:

- Product / trade name franchising : franchisor owns right to name or trademark and sells that right to a franchisee, (i.e., petroleum distributors or soft drink bottlers such as Coke and Pepsi)

- Owning a franchise : a franchisor has failed to honor its contract, or the corporation has allowed another franchisee to encroach on your territory
- Buying a franchise : protect yourself from unscrupulous or poorly managed franchisors who may not have your best interest at heart when you're buying a small business or franchise
