Hi Kim,
I would like to thank you immensely for your diligence throughout the period that you negotiated my lease provisions. I valued extensively the professionalism, dedication, and the know-how you brought to the table. You were quite pleasant to work with as you exhibited a high degree of listening skills and patience. You showed impressive negotiation skills, which were admired not only by me but also by the Attorney on the opposite side, as well as my Franchisor’s representative. You were always available and carried out my requests amicably and promptly. You brought your experience to bear. Although we did not get all that we asked for, you demonstrated passion in making me understand my liabilities. Nancy was right when she described you as highly competent, and I am glad you represented me. I will always recommend you and Luther Lanard to others.

 

Thank you.
Regards,
P.O.

Having used LUTHER|LANARD for both a Franchise Agreement review and development of an Asset Purchase Agreement, I would without hesitation refer and use the firm again for any of my business needs. Kim went above and beyond in closing this deal to the point where she was driving the timelines with the sellers. Fantastically client focused firm.

Kimberly;
 
You have been the most professional, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney that I have ever dealt with.
 
With your assistance, my three year journey to own a small business has finally come to fruition.
 
I wish you the best in the future. And if I ever need your assistance, or have someone who needs a great business attorney, I will recommend you.
 
Respectfully,
 
– R.M.

Being new to the world of franchising, reading through and understanding FDD & FA documents was a daunting task to say the least. I just didn’t know what I didn’t know. At the very least, I knew I needed help from an experienced franchise law firm to make sure I understood exactly what I was potentially getting myself into. After researching various firms, I reached out to Lanard and Associates and set up a consultation call with Nancy. The call with Nancy went great. She took the time to get to know me a bit, and made sure she understood what kind of help I was looking for. She was very transparent about what services her firm would provide, and how much money those services would cost. They weren’t the most expensive or the least expensive of the firms I looked at, and I got a good vibe when we spoke, so the price was right for me. Kimberly Meyer was the attorney assigned to my case, and she lived up to everything that Nancy promised. Kimberly was very friendly and easy to work with. She spent a good 3 hours on the phone with me detailing all the pertinent parts of the documents, including the information that the documents did not contain. She was quick to respond to all of my follow-up questions regardless of how early or late in the day I emailed her. I think there was one day where Kimberly was on vacation and I had a question, but not to fear as Nancy was all over it! I felt informed and prepared going into my first Discovery Day, and with Kimberly’s guidance, I was even able to negotiate some of the terms of the Franchise Agreement! Great communication throughout the entire process which is huge for me! I highly recommend working with Kimberley and Nancy when evaluating franchise brands, and franchisors.

Dear Nancy & Kim,

It was a pleasure working with both of you! From start to finish, communication was exceptional, & I knew exactly what I was getting into as I assessed my upcoming business opportunity. Nancy you were very thorough about each step in the process, the services available to me, & the timing of each step. At no point did I feel pressured to engage in other services, but you did a great job explaining when & why I may need those services in the future. Kim – thank you for walking me step by step through the agreement terms, & taking the time to answer ALL my questions. In no way did I feel rushed, & I appreciated the insight & advice regarding some key items that I was able to successfully negotiate into my contract terms. Overall, I would highly recommend Nancy & her team. I spoke with several other firms, & I immediately clicked with Nancy. Down to earth, clear & direct communication. They delivered on everything we agreed upon, on time, & without issue.”

Hello Nancy:
 
How are you? We had our lease review today with Kimberly. Kim was excellent. We were very impressed with Kim’s work in the lease review process. Thank you very much for having her work with us. We are still meeting next week with the landlord but I just wanted to send a quick note. Have a pleasant weekend.
 
Thank you
