"In prior years, you used to have links or contact info for Franchise Attorneys. In light of current circumstances, it would be very helpful if you were to start posting them again, IMO"
I found that, in doing so, people expect it to be an endorsement of certain law firms. To endorse a firm, I would need to know its track record of success and it's client base. I don't.
If attorneys had something like baseball trading cards, there would be no stats on the back. So much of what they do is confidential.
By listing attorneys, I end up getting questions I have no answers to, nor should I.
Having said all that, I will offer that the NOA has retained the services of Robert Zarco in Miami.
Also, one of the top-rated "franchisee only" firms is Dady and Gardner in Minneapolis (the safe part of Minneapolis).
A good source for franchise attorneys is the AAFD. Their listing is at
https://www.aafd.org/franchisee-legaline/
Also. there are a few firms that try to represent both franchisors and franchisees. I don't see how that works. How can a legal team go into a courtroom and argue passionately for the welfare of a franchisee and then go to the courtroom down the hall and argue passionately for the welfare of a huge franchisor?
