Testimonials
My clients keep coming back and they keep referring others – they like “big law results without big law prices” … in their own words:
I've worked with Andy for nearly two decades through times of war and peace within my business. He's well suited for both. I’ve found Andy to be a well-informed business advisor as an additional unexpected benefit. He has been extremely adept at helping to craft elegant solutions in times when none seem apparent. Importantly, Andy has the gumption to have the difficult conversations with his clients when he knows that it's best to tell us what we need to hear as opposed to what we want to hear.
Frank HeathMountain Star LLC
I have worked with Andy for 20 years on a variety of transactions including buy-side, sell-side, and debt/equity capital raises. Andy has a very thorough grasp of all legal and business issues impacting franchisees. Andy is extremely thorough and an excellent negotiator. He's also become a good friend. I would highly recommend him to any franchise business owner.
Nick ShurgotHardee’s and Seven Brew franchisee.
I have hired Andy on multiple occasions, and he brings vast experience, industry knowledge and an advocate’s perspective to his client’s situation. In addition, I have recommended him to many colleagues and friends and he never disappoints.

Umar IbrahimIbrahim Investment Corp.
Andy is easy to get a hold of and there when you need him. He will tell you what is in his scope and what is not rather than trying to be all things franchise law. I respect Andy and will refer him to others as well as use him again.
Ian LiebermanFTB Services, Inc.
Andy did an outstanding job representing our company in the reluctant, forced sale of our business to our franchisor. He helped our family navigate a very difficult transaction, making himself constantly available and keeping us up to speed on progress at all times. Our family considers Andy a personal friend as he is the best of the best!

Nathaniel Stevens, Stevens Ford, Stevens Ventures
Andy has been our business counsel for over 10 years and is a vital part of our team. He has been very successful in representing us in business formation/organization, real estate matters, employee disputes and representing us in a sale of a group of our restaurants. Andy’s knowledge of the franchisee world has been a great asset to our team. If you are looking for an attorney to get results without the three-piece suit, Andy is your guy.

Whenever I need to reach out to him with a problem, I can always count on a swift response and a detailed solution.

I cannot recommend his services enough!
