I have been a franchise attorney since 1988 and have served as the general counsel for several international franchise brands, you would recognize.  I have also been a franchisee and wrote extensively on the topic when I was a monthly columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine as well as Franchise Times.  I have seen so many franchise disclosure documents that I can discern what is normal and what is excessive.  I love to start franchise companies and enjoy the creative outlet involved with that creation.  I can also work with the required intellectual property and related contracts.  Most of my new franchisors use me as their outside general counsel for years. I also enjoy the David and Goliath aspect of representing franchisees who may be taken advantage of by an overreaching franchisor.
How did you build a successful practice?

I have built my practice by doing a consistently professional job and keeping my clients informed about their matter.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is not as important as industry knowledge. In franchising, you must always weigh the law and the practice being used in the industry. Franchise attorney's tend to lean toward conservatism in their approach.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

I can give you a 30,000 foot view of your situation and share my experience by applying it to your situration

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

The parties involved so I can conduct a check for conflicts.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

My many years of experience in an area that is not typically taught in law school

What are your other interests in addition to law?

I like to ride my bicycle and play the bass guitar in a band. I also love camping, boating and piloting my Cessna 210

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Understanding DUI Checkpoints in Pennsylvania: What You Need to Know
Driving under the influence (DUI) checkpoints are a common law enforcement tool used to catch impaired drivers before they can cause harm. However, many drivers in Pennsylvania may not fully understand their rights and responsibilities when encountering these checkpoints. If you or someone you know is facing DUI charges from a checkpoint stop, it’s crucial to know the law and how to protect yourself.
Will a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania affect my automobile insurance?
Receiving a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania can indeed impact your automobile insurance premiums. Insurance companies view speeding violations as indicators of increased risk, which often leads to higher rates. On average, Pennsylvanians may see their insurance premiums rise by approximately 19% following a speeding ticket. However, this percentage can vary based on factors such as the severity of the offense, your previous driving record, and the specific policies of your insurance provider.​
What Police Can't Make You Answer in a Traffic Stop in Pennsylvania
If you're pulled over by the police in Pennsylvania, it's important to know your rights. Many drivers feel pressure to answer every question or comply with every request, but the Constitution protects you from overreach. Here's what you are and aren't required to answer during a traffic stop in the Keystone State.
