I retained this law firm with regard to lease negotiations for a new business. As you can imagine, opening a new business can be scary, stressful and eye opening. The attorney who handled my lease negotiation was Sara, and I felt extremely lucky to have her in my corner throughout the process. My emails and phone calls were quickly answered, and she always made herself available. Her professionalism and ability to make me feel like I was her only client was second to none. I always felt like she had my back like a family member would. I strongly recommend Lanard & Associates!

I reached out to Lanard & Associates a few years ago expecting nothing more than a Franchise Agreement review. They were exceptional to work with and went above and beyond my expectations. I left that process with a clear understanding of the agreement and several amendments that they helped me negotiate. What happened next was a surprise to everyone - and in a nutshell, I never moved forward. Nancy and Erin were with me for the ride, providing guidance until the entire thing was resolved. I highly recommend this firm and received value for every penny I paid!

Nancy and her team do an exceptional job reviewing documents for my clients. I even used them for my own franchise acquisition. They are knowledgeable and informative in pointing out things to look for as well as just to make sure it's understood.

After a successful 20 year corporate career, I recently decided to embark on a promising franchise. I discovered Nancy and Lanard & Associates online after watching and reading many of the very educative online content the have authored on Franchise and Franchise Law. I gave Nancy a call and oh wow I am glad I did. Below a few words I shared with Nancy and Sara after signing my first franchise agreement. "Sara, A brief note to let you know that we signed the agreements this afternoon. I am extremely excited about this new adventure. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you one more time for all your counsel during the process. You are a legal ROCK STAR!! in my books. You are an expert at what you do, you are thorough, you are patient, you educated me again and again about franchising, you highlighted many watchouts, you inspire to negotiate with confidence, you facilitated a great outcome and a solid deal. Thanks again!!"

After our initial call with Nancy, we knew we would be in good hands! My mom, sister & myself needed some legal help with starting a new business, lease negotiations, etc.. Nancy had us set up with one of her associates, Yvonne, who really knows her stuff in all aspects of dealing with Landlords and working her way through a commercial lease. We thought this process was going to be a stressful nightmare! It was actually a breeze! Yvonne was super knowledgable and attentive to our needs but most importantly, she fought for us in what she knew was right and didn't let us get taken advantage of! Thank you for that! We look forward to future legal advice from Nancy and Yvonne!!

I truly appreciate the professionalism and dedication that Lanard and Associates provided in making sure that I was protected as a tenant.

I was not sure about whether it was worth spending money on having an attorney review my franchise agreement and negotiate on my behalf, but after having done so, I am glad I did. Erin guided me through the unfamiliar world of franchise agreements. Using her experience she helped me understand what is normal and what is not. Her skill in handling the negotiation was something to behold and it put distance between myself and any conflict on the sticking points. In the end both the franchisor and myself are happy with the agreement we have and can look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership, with rules clearly outlined in my agreement.

Nancy has represented us several times negotiating and closing lease deals. In all my years in corporate America negotiating contracts and working with attorneys, coupled with the few short years as a business owner and dealing with franchise, real estate and business attorneys, Nancy has consistently demonstrated exceptional, responsive and detailed professionalism. It can be a small landlord with a relationship-oriented approach or a large conglomerate with aggressive legal posturing and Nancy is able to navigate either scenario brilliantly. I would highly recommend Lanard and Associates to anyone seeking top notch representation.
