We worked with Matt Wizmur at the Spadea Lignana Law Firm, when we recently sold our franchise business. He provided great value and counsel through the entire process. We were thrown a few curveballs by other parties involved (landlord, franchisor), and Matt was a great sounding board and provided his counsel on options we had, based on his experience with other franchise owners selling their business. He charged an upfront flat fee, and we found it to be extremely reasonable, so we then did not have to worry about asking questions, clarifications, opinions, help, etc. that would run up billable hours under a retainer and per hour arrangement. We had a successful completion of our sale, and we thank Matt for his partnership throughout it. We highly recommend Matt for all of the reasons above.

I worked with Matt during the sale of my business and the process was easy and stress free. Everything was handled professionally and communication was excellent. Almost all of my questions were answered before I even asked and everything else was answered quickly. I highly recommend Spadea Lignana for your business legal needs.

Best franchise attorneys in the business. Incredibly responsive, always go the extra mile and so personable. There’s never been a situation that I’ve brought to them where they haven’t been able to give fantastic guidance. Appreciate all you do!

I recently sold my small business and used Matt Wizmur to help with all of my legal needs. Matt was terrific in orchestrating all the documentation between myself and the buyer, negotiating terms with the buyers team and working with the buyers lender. The buyer used an SBA loan and was not very organized. Matt make this deal as smooth as possible. He was great to work with and gave great advice. I would highly recommend him and his firm!

I am a former franchise broker, multi-unit and multi-brand franchisee, and, yes, paralegal. Currently, I am the VP of Franchise Development for an emerging franchisor. I knew Tom Spadea from my broker days and was eager to introduce my new company to his firm Spadea Lignana. Their FDD compliance platform is an excellent tool to keep us up-to-date and compliant. And, our legal team, including attorney Jessica Dempsey and paralegal Margaret LaMura-Dara, works diligently and exceptionally hard to meet our needs. I have complete confidence in Spadea Lingana, Tom and the whole team. My highest recommendation!
