They are extremely attentive right up until they receive payment. After I paid $4,500, they scheduled an initial one-hour meeting. Since then, none of my follow-up inquiries have received a meaningful response. I have called over five times, and each time the receptionist promises to schedule a 15-minute explanatory call, yet no meeting ever happens. What should my next steps be? Once they get your money, communication stops completely—it is as if they vanished. I do not recommend them at all.

It’s disheartening to see that I received such a different experience from all of the other reviewers, here on Google. I experienced an extreme lack of responsiveness and all around horrible customer service. For starters it took 8 business days from the time I retained them until the attorney actually reached out to me and this was after several follow up attempts. I later found out that this was because the attorney assigned to me was at a conference; this would have been a great thing for the customer relationship manager to mention when she assigned my case to that attorney, but she failed to do so (Customer service 101). During our work together, it took my attorney an average of 5 business days to respond to an email. Once everything was said and done it took 15 business days for me to get the unused portion of my retainer back; again after several follow ups. This firm was highly recommended and had great reviews; however, my experience was not reflective of that; so, just be aware, especially if time of the essence!

Reviewing the extensive documentation of a franchise agreement can be daunting, but the expertise of the professionals at Luther Lanard PC made the process exceptionally manageable. We are exceedingly content with the overall result of our collaboration from inception to conclusion. We unequivocally endorse their services to those exploring the realm of franchising and strongly advise undertaking a thorough legal review. We will consistently advocate for the team at Luther Lanard.

This Attorney and the entire team is everything we hope an attorney is. We worked with Erin. Kristine and Nancy were on calls for support but Erin was our main contact. I was blown away at how thorough she was. She walked us through the entire FDD and explained what everything meant highlighting red flags. Then gave us ideas on how to approach each point. She listened to us (yes, you read that right.) and allowed our concerns to drive her priorities in the negotiation. When negotiating, she was knowledgeable, composed, extremely professional and polite. I really couldn’t recommend this team and their process enough. We are so much more at ease moving forward with the franchise purchase because we feel as protected as we can be. Incredible people! Thank you!

Let me start by saying, I have worked with a lot of lawyers in my 35 years in business and this was arguably my all time best experiences. Nancy REALLY knows the franchise business and will respectfully ask you the right questions...the questions that need to be answered before you proceed. She and her team are "Top-Notch" and provide exceptional council when evaluating a business opportunity. I am personally impressed with and grateful for Nancy's willingness to help me. You would be well served to retain Nancy and her team! Very refreshing experience. -Shel
