We had the pleasure of working with Jeff Wheelock for our franchise agreement review, and we couldn’t be more impressed with his expertise and professionalism. He was incredibly thorough, patient, and always had our best interests in mind. Jeff took the time to explain every detail clearly, ensuring we fully understood our obligations and rights. His insights and guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond his legal knowledge, he was responsive, easy to work with, and truly cared about our success. If you're looking for a franchise attorney who is knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely dedicated to his clients, Jeff is the one to call. We highly recommend his services and truly appreciate his help!

Fantastic people. Willing to go out of his way to help you. Called to get a consultation and he was honest with me and told me how to handle this particular case myself. If I needed a lawyer I would go to them.

Money well spent! Jeff did everything he promised to do - we reviewed the FDD and Franchise Agreement ( FA) together so I knew exactly what I was getting into. He also identified all of the areas of concern in the documents and created an addendum which made the FA a little more favorable to me. After working with Jeff I felt very comfortable signing the franchise agreement.

Anytime you’re embarking on a new business endeavor, you hope to have people in your corner who are informed, who have your best interest at heart, and who can put you in the most favorable position to be successful. Jeff came recommended to me by a friend, and I’m so thankful that he did. We enlisted Jeff to review our documents before signing on with a business, and his expertise helped us more clearly understand what we were signing, push back on terms that were slanted against the local operator, and ultimately helped to minimize the risk that we’re taking on. Jeff is responsive, candid, and fair. I’m grateful to have worked with him, and could not more highly recommend his services.

Jeff Wheelock was a pleasure to work with and the receptionist was always helpful; he worked to understand my concern fully and then helped resolve it. I reached out in regards to needing help with my business; Jeff was prompt in getting back with me and was forthright and knowledgeable throughout. I had been struggling to find a lawyer ( with so many options available ) but I can say with confidence that I would highly recommend J. Wheelock to any friends and family.

Jeff is an absolute treasure when it comes to shredding franchise documents (i.e reviewing). I have found his support and skills are exceptional. On time, detailed scope of work and takes the time to actually find out your particular story. Highly recommend.

Recently I was looking into purchasing a franchise and I reached out to Jeff after searching for a local franchise attorney. I highly suggest using Jeff! We had a great initial phone conversation which led me to pursue working with him. I sent my FDD over for review and we scheduled an in person meeting. I was blown away at Jeff’s knowledge! We spent hours going over all the details and he explained things in terms I could understand. He gave me tools to negotiate and helped me understand what is normal. Happy to say that because of working with Jeff I was able to negotiate terms and save myself over $20k on the deal.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff Wheelock for the review of my FDD and Franchise Agreement. Jeff’s expertise and thoroughness were evident from our very first conversation. He provided a clear outline of his services, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Jeff’s knowledge of franchise law is unparalleled. He meticulously reviewed the FDD and Franchise Agreement, highlighting key areas that required attention and providing practical advice on potential modifications. His ability to explain complex legal terms in an easy-to-understand manner was incredibly helpful, making me feel confident and well-informed about my franchise investment. Throughout the process, Jeff was patient, responsive, and always available to address my questions and concerns.

Jeff Wheelock is the man. I reached out to Jeff to review an FDD and franchise agreement. This was my first time reaching out to an attorney to do so. Jeff was very thorough and engaging in explaining all the legal jargon used by the franchisor. He's able to break down short vs long term implications of the contract. He knows what's worth negotiating and knows when the franchisor is being fair. I cannot recommended him enough!

Jeff was EXTREMELY helpful in his FDD review service for me. Prior to reaching out to him, I took a stab at reviewing the 200+ page document on my own and was over my head. Jeff found items I never would’ve found on my own and I’m grateful for the time he put in prior to our review call to go through my document, and then his dedicated attention on our review call. I feel much better equipped after working with him and can’t recommend highly enough.

Jeff is really awesome. He went above and beyond our expectations and did the work quickly and very carefully. Very knowledgeable about franchise business and put a lot of time to discuss all the terms with us. I highly recommend him and definitely will work with him again.
