I can’t say enough about the Spadea Lignana Firm. They’re one of the best decisions we could have made. Our start-up franchise has benefited from their knowledge and expertise. They’ve been quick and efficient while guiding us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Spadea Lignana Law for legal counsel and franchise support.Thank you!

I was referred to this firm by my RE agent. Upon calling, I was put into contact with Michael Mirsky. This was my first commercial lease experience and going into it, I had no idea how involved a commercial lease could be. Michael took the time to walk me though each piece of the lease and explain to me what it meant or how it could affect my business. He was quick to respond and did a great job representing my side of the transaction.

Spadea is fantastic in franchise law and their services have allowed me to move my franchise company along faster and better than I have in the past. They are responsive and thorough with their work. What they do allows me more time to do what I do best.

Great Firm! Michael is meticulous, professional and, most importantly for me, prompt with his responses. I am the same way so this really resonates with me and our franchise brand!

I currently use Spadea Lignana as my franchise attorneys. I have worked with attorney Andrew Matson and hes phenomenal! The firm is very responsive and easy to communicate with. You get the feeling that they are there for you and not the other way around like other firms that Ive worked with. I have had the pleasure of working with several of their attorneys and they all have been great! I HIGHLY recommend Spadea Lignana. They feel like an extension of my business.

SmartBooks recently created a new emerging franchise concept for finance professionals that want to build their own outsourced bookkeeping and accounting business, and we partnered with Spadea Lignana Franchise Attorneys to help us with navigating the legal aspects. Our team consists of Harold, Stephanie, Margaret and Sandee and they have all been professional, responsive, and willing to share their knowledge and expertise to help us launch our franchise concept - not just with legal aspects, but general franchise information to help us build and scale our business. They worked with us to create an FDD and Franchise Agreement that is both franchisee friendly as well as has the appropriate level of protection for us as a franchisor. They deliver the FDD through their Docusign system to simplify the tracking and compliance pieces for us, and will even work directly with prospective franchisees attorneys to negotiate on our behalf. All of this for a fixed fee - which is very uncommon not just in the franchise world, but with attorneys in general. We are very happy with our Spadea team and would recommend them to any franchise brand.

We have used Spadea Lignana to launch our national franchise across the United States. The attention to detail, and their strong grasp on automated processes makes them an amazing fit for people who appreciate how technology can power a business. Been with them for years, and highly recommend without hesitation.

They are great franchise lawyers who helped us launch our franchising program.

Cannot give enough stars!!! We have worked with a lawyer in the past that was unresponsive, didnt explain agenda items and frankly had zero customer service. Since working with Spadea I have received CONSTANT AND HONEST COMMUNICATION! Quick replies and guidance. Our company strongly recommends this firm!Thank you!

Great experience. Very knowledgeable and RESPONSIVE. A real pleasure to work with Spadea Lignana especially Matt. I really appreciate all the hard work! Thank you very, very much. Highly recommend Spadea Lignana!

I have had the best experience with Attorney Matt Wizmur. I have worked with him several times now, and he has been so great.I usually expect lawyers to take a long time to respond and he has always been willing to give my business attention quickly. His advice has kept me from making some big errors in judgement. I highly recommend utilizing his services.

Tom and his team provided the legal services I needed for my small business. I benefited from their experience with franchising. Their fees were fair, they were professional, treated me with respect and did it all in a timely manner.

I met Tom and Josh this summer when I needed advice on how to set up my childcare franchise. Not only were both of the men highly knowledgeable in franchising but their advice and contacts have been instrumental in successfully setting up my franchise. Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and her attention to detail excellent. I felt completely at ease with them setting up my corporations and related paperwork. I highly recommend working with Spadea Lignana for all of your franchising needs. Thank you so much!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Wizmur on the purchase of my business. I was very impressed with his professionalism and personal touch. Matt is very responsive, talented law expert that was key in making a purchase a smooth transaction. At the end Matt made it look very simple and I am very glad that I selected him to work with me on this transaction. Thank you Matt!

All I can say is there are good people in this world and Spadea Lignana has a group of them. This firm knows their stuff and they explain everything in clear terms you can understand. They are patient and so helpful without sticking it to you at every turn. Highly, highly recommend if you own your own business or franchise. I have worked with Matt and Sara and both were so down to earth, they were very good at explaining legalize and they were both very knowledgeable. This is a big time firm with a home town feel.

We worked with Michael Mirsky. He was amazing. Our lease negotiation took a little over 4 months to finalize. It wasn’t an easy one. He was passionate, patient and knew his stuff ! He wasn’t going to let us get a bad lease!! He had our best interest at heart. We recommend him and the firm 100%!!Thanks again !NM

I just recently completed a business acquisition with the help of Matt Wizmur at Spadea Lignana. I could not have asked for a better experience. We had some real difficulties dealing with the bank but Matt consistently stayed on top of it and handled all of their concerns in a timely fashion. He went above and beyond to help ensure we would make it to closing. He is extremely responsive and reliable as well as experienced and knowledgeable in his field. He will do whatever it takes to help. I can be very picky but Matt was a great asset to me. I would highly recommend using Matt in any business related matter and I would definitely use him again.

The entire experience of launching a franchise organization with Tom, Josh and Stephanie has been top drawer. Their guidance saved me money and time in the trademarking process, and their work developing the required legal documents was airtight. Throughout, theyve been responsive to my questions and have provided excellent advice. I trust their judgement and look forward to a long term relationship with this outstanding firm.

Tom and his team are amazing! They were instrumental in helping launch our business as a franchise. Andy was our direct contact during this process and he was incredible!

Great franchising and business lawyers - I feel so protected with these guys on my side. They are patient with me and know their stuff, and most importantly are always looking out for me. They are smart and always keep on top of everything, the best part of all is their pricing is very fair - they dont nickel and dime you. I know Im getting what Ive paid for and then some. It sounds cliche but they truly do care about their clients. Thank you so much guys, love working with you!

Tom and his team are top notch. Having worked with Tom years ago, when me and my wife were considering turning our business into a franchise, I was confident he was the best lawyer to help us. The firm is well run, transparent on billing and applies a truly consultative approach (even when its not to his financial benefit but is the right thing for you). I trust the team at Spadea Lignana implicitly and would recommend their services to anyone who wants a team of attorneys they can trust, afford and learn from.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Wizmur on the sale of my business. Matts acumen was key in facilitating a smooth transaction. Some components of the sale, in my opinion, were nuanced. If not for the detailed counsel I received, this process would have been much more difficult. Matt made it streamlined and simple and I am very grateful for having worked with him on this.

My husband, Bob and I utilized Spadea Lignana for a re-assignment of a franchise. The service was outstanding. Our attorney, Matt Wizmur, was extremely professional, diligent and knowledgeable. Our transfer of ownership was a particularly arduous one. Matt maintained a calm, but resolute demeanor throughout the process. The office staff assisted us in a timely fashion, as well. We would highly recommend the use of this firm!

A+++ in every regard - cannot day enough good things. Absolute EXCELLENCE!

Spadea Lignana served me very well. They helped me with a work related FINRA issue and cleared my good name. Working with them and Jon was the best thing I could have done. They listened, and constructed the best approach to my case. Every interaction I had with them was top notch and professional. Thank you for all your hard work, and I will definitely be recommending them to others.

I was referred by a business owner that had a great experience. I made the right decision to reach out to Sandee. She made sure that the process was smooth and quick when buying my franchise. Bonnie and Camerons expertise were just what I needed.I will be recomending Spadea Lignana to anyone needing their services!

Working with Tom, Andy, and Josh has been a wonderful experience for everyone at my company. Great legal advice and professional advice as well from these franchise attorneys. They are also some of the most friendly and personable lawyers I have dealt with. This is great firm that tries and succeeds at building successful long term relationships with its clients rather than nickel and diming you for emails and phone calls.

Bonnie Witenberg and Spadea Lignana Franchise Attorneys helped me through my franchise agreement process. Bonnie was a great Franchise Lawyer and helped me launch my new business with thorough review, professional results and fair pricing. Now I am again engaging Bonnies firm for a Lease Review.

From my very first inquiry phone call with Tom Spadea, I was very impressed with his franchise attorney team at Spadea Lignana. I worked with franchise attorney Stephanie Grobler and she helped me launch my new franchise business. Stephanies efforts exceeded my expectations every step of the way. She is a talented franchise law expert and guided me thru the process of preparing our Franchise Agreement and Franchise Disclosure Documents, along with filing with the states. The personal attention and care at Spadea Lignana gave me confidence navigating the whole process. I now have quality franchise contracts and am set up for success as we launch our brand new franchise offering program.

I was had an issue with a franchise I recently bought and was introduced to Will Jameson after the fact. Will was a pleasure to work with, he knows this industry and how to play the game! He quickly summed up my issues and guided me through the process, while covering all the bases and protecting me from any further headaches. If you need someone on your side that understands this industry, I would highly recommend Will. I only wish I had contacted him earlier in the process. Great job Will!

Tom and the entire team at Spadea Lignana have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have shown commitment and loyalty throughout our entire franchising process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to franchise their business. We look forward to the many franchise agreements we will do together throughout the years ahead!

It has been a great experience working with Tom and his staff. I have been working with Tom since 2013. I could not be more satisfied with his work on my commercial leases and franchise issues. Calls, emails, concerns, etc...were beyond my expectations. Helped me solve a major issue with my landlord. Saved me a lot of money and was calming force in negotiations. If you are looking for a great business lawyer with fair pricing Tom is your guy.

I hired Spadea Lignana by way of a referral. Tom spoke with me the first day i was thinking about franchising my business. He was able to conceptualize a lot of the actions that would need to be taken to move forward. He charged me a fair price for representing me and available during the process at no charge. He and Andrew did not charge me anything for questions that i had. They provide a great support system if your thinking of franchising. I would definitely refer them to anyone i know and i will continue to engage with them throughout this amazing process. This is a solid Franchise Attorney!!

The franchise law team at Spadea Lignana exceeded my expectations! I had an extremely tight deadline to review an FDD and Franchise Agreement and they worked with me to expedite the review and meet my timeline. The shorten lead-time, however, did not adversely impact the quality of their work. They prepared a very detailed review and spent the necessary time to clearly and concisely discuss the nuances of the contract. In researching franchise lawyers, I found Spadea Lignana rates to be very competitive. In closing, I have not experienced a law firm that follows up with customer service calls to gain feedback and learn about opportunities for improvement. Throughout this review process, I received calls to verify that my needs were being meet. Without a doubt, I will consider Spadea Lignana for other legal needs.

I cannot say enough great things about Spadea Lignana. Benjamin Speciale, an attorney there, has helped me on a few occasions. What stands out most is not his professionalism, his attention to detail, his strong knowledge of the law, his responsiveness (I can keep going), but that fact that he genuinely cares about his clients and will always strive to get the best possible results. I highly recommend his services.

I wrote many firms to get a quote, I was blown away that I was contacted on a Saturday by Anthony Lopes in order to answer any questions I had. I decided the following Monday to use Spadea Lignana because of the wonderful service and knowledge I received in one phone call that day.I worked with Anthony Lopes in getting my LLC started and couldnt be happier with all aspects. Anthony is very professional and was attentive to and answered all my questions. I needed to rely on his expertise to get me through this process and he did above and beyond. I highly recommend using Spadea Lignana. If you dont believe me feel free to write and ask

Tom Spadea is the complete package. Smart legal mind that has a terrific grasp on business nuances. His tactical advice is right on and is extremely helpful when negotiating through the legal and emotional waters of negotiations. He is fair, responsive and if this is possible, a lawyer I actually admire.

Worked with Bonnie Wittenberg several year ago, pleased to learn she is now the Tom and his excellent team of attorneys. Tom is a pleasure to work with. His background and hands on experience in the franchise business, make him uniquely qualified and a genuine advocate.

Helped us get our Franchise Disclosure Document FDD ready for franchising our Crawl Space Ninja concept. Great to work with and made everything simple to understand. Also setup our legal entities. Thank you for all your hard work.

As an M&A professional, having the right attorney on the deal is critical. I have been working with the attorneys at Spadea Lignana for years and they have always taken care of their clients promptly and professionally. They are not only great franchise attorneys, they are a great transnational fit for private equity groups and independent family owned businesses.

I have worked with Tom, Josh and their firm for several years. They are always professional and fair prices when it comes to all their services.. As a consultant I have to trust the people I refer and this is the only law firmI will refer.

Matt was extremely knowledgeable, personable, competent and resourceful !! I highly recommend his services !! An amazing professional to work with !!

AMAZING!!! If you are looking to franchise your business, this is the firm that you NEED to use. Tom and his team guide you through the process from start to finish and help you in any way that they can along the way - their knowledge makes you feel confident that you chose the right team as you move through the process.

Where to begin? I was introduced to Tom Spadea at a Franchise Expo in Philadelphia in 2015. We were just in the VERY early stages of franchising our moving company, Suburban Solutions.I have had some rough experiences in general with some lawyers, who often were looking for a quick pay day for poor service. However after just minutes of meeting Tom, I knew we would be in great hands. From the start, Tom Spadea was helpful, informative and I knew he was not out to just earn a quick buck.We invited Tom out for a lunch meeting ASAP. We wanted to learn everything in the world to prepare us for the journey that is franchising. Tom was able to simplify so many legal issues relating to franchising that we left lunch with some real momentum and confidence that we were going to succeed.Tom and Stephanie helped finalize our FDD, set up our Franchise Agreement, comb through our website to make sure we were compliant and set up a dashboard for disclosure. But above all, Tom Stephanie and Josh answer every single one of my countless questions timely and succinctly. They make a confusing journey of legal pitfalls so enjoyable and allow people with no legal background to feel empowered to speak confidently about an otherwise daunting aspect of franchising.We will be signing up for their CORE Program very soon. This means that we get to onboard franchisees knowing we are always in compliance and most importantly, that we now have a big brother looking out for us if there are any issues down the road. I consider it an insurance policy and it allows me to sleep soundly at night knowing we are doing things the right way and protecting us from making stupid mistakes!They are certainly the BEST LAWYER TEAM around!

As a first time Franchise owner signing my first lease I needed and hoped for someone that was willing to help me walk through the process, listen to my questions, respond in a timely manner and negotiate for me the best possible lease . Spadea Ligana was the perfect Firm and more specifically Beth Rosenthal was the perfect attorney. I have more leases to sign and I wouldnt think of using any other combination

I have been working Tom for over 10 years. He is not only a great attorney but bring a vast experience to the table. My favorite Tom quote is Lets figure out how to avoid a lawsuit before we focus on winning oneJosh has been great to work with and recently handled the IP process for Rentwell | Lease Manage Maintain. My team interacts with Matt and a few of the other attorneys. Very happy to the relationship and the service. They are more than a law firm, they are advisers and counsel.

When they came to MY office to meet me, I knew there was something special about their firm. We actually had a normal conversation, discussed issues so I hired them on the spot. Five plus years and going strong.

We worked with Bonnie as our Franchise Attorney for the FDD and Franchise Agreement Review. Bonnie repeatedly demonstrated her expertise throughout the process and spent the time to explain the documents to us. She explained them so well we felt like experts by the end of it, and thats a great feeling. Bonnie was also incredibly professionally and respectful of all parties when negotiating on our behalf with the franchisor, something both we and the franchisor greatly appreciated.

Beth Rosenthal represented YELRAN Services, LLC very well! We appreciate Beths patience, professionalism, and good work in negotiating a commercial retail lease. We look forward to working with Spadea Lignana Law firm in the future when legal services are needed.
