Hello I would like to thank you for helping to get my lease executed. I highly recommend your services. Stephanie dealt with concerns and issues as though she was the one signing the lease, and I felt comfortable knowing that she was carefully reviewing all of the terms of the agreement. If I had a question about the lease she explained it in detail. If she saw a red flag she was sure to make me aware of it and consulted with the leasing company to get the terms in my favor. This was money well spent. Thanks again. Sincerely, Beth S. Hi Bonnie Thank you for your assistance in reviewing the Franchise Agreement and for working through the Document of Understanding with the Franchisor. I sincerely appreciate your willingness and ability to explain the legal jargon in a more common business language that I can better understand. And likewise, it has been my pleasure working with you and Nancy. Best Wishes, Kevin Hi Stephanie You saved us a lot of potential future hassle. Our developer was very impressed with the extent of your involvement. Several times the statement was made: "your lawyer is certainly doing a good job in looking out for your interests". Thank you so much - we're so glad we found you and the lanard firm. Valarie (Kuna, ID) I was very impressed with your knowledge and tenacity .... Thank you very much for all of your work and advice throughout the lease process. Also, thank you for noting that I should take a copy of your lease to the signing, there was an entire section left in it that you had taken out. I was very impressed with your knowledge and tenacity and with how patient you were throughout the negotiations. Thank you again. Take care, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Just a little thank you for all of your help and patience. You did a great job and I just wanted you to know that both my brother and I are very happy that we have you on our team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Peggy Without Bonnie's advice . . .we probably would have given up . . . Bonnie did a great job explaining [our] Franchise Agreement and Franchise Agreements in general. The FAs can be somewhat intimidating as they are written by the Franchisor's for their benefit. Without Bonnie's advice and explanation of FAs as far as what is typical and standard, we probably would have given up on franchising. Bonnie definitely provided us with valuable insight on FAs. Your firm and services are top notch and you are all very professional. Your firm had our best interest in mind and represented us very well. Even though we did not meet in person, we felt very comfortable working with you all based on our phone conversation. Bonnie and you explained things extremely well, treated us respectfully, and really listened to our needs and concerns. We would definitely contact you again to represent us should we decide to pursue franchising again in the future. Thank you! ...your involvement was one of the best decisions that we have made as we’ve entered this new world of franchise business ownership... Dear Nancy, I can’t thank you enough for your input, legal advice and council during the review and negotiations of our franchise agreement. As you know, I initially wavered about using a lawyer because I felt comfortable negotiating the contract on my own. I’m glad I made the decision to use you. Without question, your involvement was one of the best decisions that we have made as we’ve entered this new world of franchise business ownership and well worth the money. Your understanding of franchise law from both the franchisee and franchisor perspective gave us the comfort level we needed throughout the process. You were there for us every step of the way. Thanks again and we look forward to a long lasting relationship with you as our business attorney. Sincerely, Wendy Brown-Blau She handles issues expeditiously and with fine attention to detail. Nancy has been a reliable resource for our company for over three years. She handles issues expeditiously and with fine attention to detail. She has been involved with everything from our building leases, non-disclosure agreements, company disclaimers and personnel documents. I am pleased with her work and feel that her fees are very reasonable. I would recommend her services to you. ...truly impressed with your thoroughness, attention to detail, and your sincere desire to protect your client. Nancy, Sincere thanks to you and your firm. Excellent job educating my clients! "My clients often ask me for the name of a franchise attorney to review their agreements. Without hesitation I refer Nancy Lanard. I feel confident that Nancy will guide my clients in the direction that is in their best interest in a timely fashion. Nancy is efficient, prompt and very knowledgeable about franchise law and does an excellent job educating my clients through the final phase of their exciting journey toward business ownership." Best regards, Karol Mercurio Once Nancy got involved, she righted my neophyte mistakes and expedited a deal... I just wanted to let you all know that I would highly recommend Nancy L. Lanard for any legal services regarding lease and letter of intent negotiations for a KnowledgePoint franchise. I would particularly recommend her to [those of] us new to the franchise world, yet [who] want to find retail space among the big franchises like Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, Hollywood Video, UPS and Coldstone Cremery. Until she stepped in, I was depending on the direction from my real estate broker. If I had continued this route I am guessing I would still be in negotiations or I would have signed a lease that significantly favored the landlord. Once Nancy got involved, she righted my neophyte mistakes and expedited a deal that I feel is very fair and balanced to all parties. Now I have a spot for my KnowledgePoints franchise where I can look out at the big boys (Starbucks, UPS, Krispy Kreme etc) and feel very good about it. Thanks for referencing her in our training manual. She did a great job. Mark Coffield, KnowledgePoints franchisee Thanks For Everything, Nancy! Dear Nancy, It's rare for me to write a letter like this but I just had to thank you for everything you've done for me the past few weeks. You are an efficient, thorough, and extremely professional attorney who actually understands and cares about deadlines. I'd have to say that what impressed me the most was your availability for me both Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning for last minute revisions before the big meeting! I've already given your name out to a few people and plan to keep doing so. Thanks for everything, Nancy! Warmest Regards, ...your legal expertise was much needed! Dear Nancy, I can never begin to express how much you helped Rich and me as we went through negotiations with [the Landlord] to secure our lease space here in Houston. As new franchisees and novices in securing lease space it was a great comfort to have you as our attorney. It was so reassuring to see your command of the law and how diligent you were in protecting us during the negotiation process. Yes, your legal expertise was much needed! But, your patience with us and your tenacity with [the Landlord] made the process so much more pleasant. We are so grateful to have you as our attorney and we would recommend anyone in need of legal expertise to use you! Please feel free to use any of my note as a recommendation. Have a blessed, prosperous and Happy New Year! Sincerely, Sharron and Richard Quinn This Lady Is Worth Every Penny! This lady is worth every penny.....Gary Gary Stevens Nancy, hope this doesn't swell your head, but I have to echo Gary's comments. Thanks for your help! Frank Feely I am thankful to have you for counsel! It is a pleasure to work with you and I am thankful to have you for counsel. Your service is impeccable and I look forward to continuing to work with you. S. Ramsey Walker, Jr., Developer |
