I highly recommend Martin for his expertise in franchise law and business purchase agreements. He provides solid legal advice that is simple to grasp. He makes a point to work for his clients to "get the deal done" and not add pointless legal jargon to agreements. He was an immense help in a recent business purchase coupled with advisement on multiple franchise agreements in the process.

I retained the services of Mr. Mansfield to review a franchise agreement for me. He agreed to review the documents and provide his comments and recommendations within three days. He did just that, and was able to weed through a very messy and unorganized franchise agreement. He made excellent suggestions and it was crystal clear that he has a wealth of experience in the area of franchising. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Mansfield.

Mr. Mansfield reviewed my FDD and Franchise agreement, providing a precise and easily understood analysis. He was able to get the documents returned in less than three days! We then spoke by phone so he could clarify some muddy points. I am delighted with his expertise and responsiveness and would definitely use his services in future dealings.

Our experience with Martin was exceptional. He was efficient and reasonable. He reviewed and red-lined our franchise agreement and our FDD in less than 4 days. He did exactly what he promised and even gave us some great advice without any additional charge. Additionally, he is very pleasant and easy to talk to. I really can't say enough good things about Martin Mansfield. We will continue to work with Martin when legal services or advice is needed. Amy F., Knoxville, TN

Mr Mansfield did a great job explaining documents to me and working with me to achieve the best result possible. He made excellent recommendations and I really felt that he went above and beyond to help me. I found him to be caring, honest, fair, diligent and realistic in managing my expectations. I highly recommend him. He will ensure to have your best interests represented.

Martin was very methodical with all of the documents we presented to him, from the franchise agreement to the lease for our building. He always had our best interest at heart, and in several instances managed to get things changed that did not weigh in our favor. Martin was more than patient with us when explaining all of the legalese, and always answered whatever questions we had (there were many). Plus, we felt his fees were incredibly reasonable. We would not be where we are today without his help. Martin is very personable and really cares about his customers. We'll definitely use him again with our future business endeavors.

We were doing an Asset Purchase Agreement for an existing corporate location that was being converted to a franchise, as well as securing an agreement to open a new franchise location. Marin was extremely helpful in helping us understand where we had room (and should) maneuver in an Addendum to the necessary Agreements as well how to think about some things in terms of structure going forward. He was very reasonable in his rates and always available to answer questions. I would very highly recommend him for any and all franchise questions.

I had decided to buy a franchise opportunity. I didn't know the process, and I wanted an attorney to help guide me and help protect my best interests throughout the process. I researched different attorney's online. I selected Martin and I'm so glad that I did. From the beginning, Martin showed me that he was a man of his word. He did precisely what he said he would do. That generated trust. I felt like I was in good hands. Martin is very experienced in all aspects of purchasing franchises (from the franchisee perspective and the franchisor perspective). Martin answered all of my questions and gave me his professional advice while allowing me to make decisions for each question/situation that came up. He was there for me every step of the way, from reviewing, amending/negotiating, and ultimately signing the franchise agreement, and then doing the same thing regarding the lease. He was always accessible and there for me. The result is that I signed what I believe to be a fair franchise agreement and a fair lease. Martin gave me peace of mind from beginning to end. Knowing what I know now, I would make the same choice again.

Martin Mansfield was hired by us to review an Asset Purchasing Agreement since we were selling our business. He was amazing at finding verbage in the contract that could have been detrimental to us. He pointed out his concerns and we were able to change the contract as he recommended which saved us problems later on. He is very efficient, as well.

Martin represented me in negotiations to buy a franchise territory here in Colorado. I interviewed 4 attorneys and decided to retain Martin because he seemed the most knowledgeable, communicative, and personable. Also his hourly rate is reasonable. Martin's guidance, advice, and legal knowledge were extremely helpful in assessing the risk of this opportunity. His detailed assessment of the language in the franchise agreement was impressive and critical in making my decision not to proceed with the purchase.
