Spadea and specifically Evan Harra have been a key part of my success in franchising. From the very beginning of my journey, Evan has gone above and beyond to ensure I was protected, educated, and confident in every decision. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also truly invested in the long-term success of my brand. I couldn’t imagine navigating the complexities of franchising without him. Highly recommend Spadea Lignana to anyone looking for a franchise attorney who genuinely cares.

We always have an incredible experience with this The Spadea Lignana firm! From start to finish, the team is professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to our FDD and brand. Victor and David provided expert guidance, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Lina was always responsive and kept everything organized, while Sandee made sure no detail was overlooked. Their combined expertise and care made a lengthy process so much easier to handle. I couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch legal support!

We have used several firms over the 21+ years we have been franchising. Spadea Lignana is far and away the best! The service is excellent, the pricing very fair and way below what we had paid in the past, and thanks to years of service, we are once again registered to franchise in all 50 states. This is the firm to use for any franchise system!

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Wizmur and I couldn’t be more pleased to have him represent me and my wife as we completed a very successful sale of our Franchise Business. Matthew’s direction, support and knowledge were second to none and I would very highly recommend him and his team to represent any franchise with any legal issues. Matthew’s response times to my calls, texts and emails was fabulous and I truly appreciated his sense of urgency and professionalism. Thanks again to Matthew for helping me and my wife sell our business in a very seamless, headache free and extremely efficient process.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Matt absolutely crushed it for my business acquisition. It was a long process, but I would have been unable to get it done without his guidance!

In 2020, I contacted Spadea Lignana to become the law firm for my company; it was the best decision I made. They have worked with us efficiently, thoroughly, and always in a friendly manner, no matter what I bring them. Their expertise is unmatched on so many levels. Meisee is a Paralegal extraordinaire. Her patience, communication, insight, efficiency, and sense of humor have often made my job easier. Spadea Lignana has attorneys who work with you. Evan is one of those attorneys. His responses to my questions are always answered with explanations that help our company make informed decisions. I appreciate his knowledge and guidance on many issues. My company is in Pittsburgh, and Spadea Lignana is in Philadelphia; working together distantly has never been an issue. I highly recommend this firm and am thankful for the almost five years of association with them.
