Tremendously impressed by Jeff. He knows exactly what to look for in the FDD and FA. Beyond legal, his many years of experience working with franchisors and franchisees was invaluable as we evaluated our opportunity and asked questions. Additionally, Jeff made excellent recommendations, provided detailed feedback, and clear instructions on our next steps. My pleasure to recommend Jeff to anyone looking at franchising.

Jeff Wheelock provided a thorough, detailed and very helpful report used in negotiating with a franchisor. I highly recommend him!

Jeff was extremely helpful and thorough. He had not only reviewed the FDD but had researched the company itself and its competitors. Jeff took the time to answer all of our questions and is always just a phone call away. We will most definitely be using Jeff again for any of our legal needs. Thanks again! Cameron & Marla Jordan

Mr. Wheelock is very experienced, informed and thorough when hashing over the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement. I trusted his knowledge, opinions and addendum’s to the Franchise Agreement, Development Area, etc... The presentation of the addendums to the Franchise Agreements are in layman’s terms. Mr. Wheelock’s time is easily accessible and he genuinely wants to help in all ways he can throughout the Franchise Agreement/Buying process. My advice to those prospective franchise owners; spend the extra money, and receive a thorough and complete review (including addendums) and explanation of the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement. Mr. Wheelock informed me of all the unknown variables and helped me gain a much better perspective and understanding of the whole franchise buying process. I highly recommend (5 stars) Mr. Wheelock. He helped me understand a very intimidating document (FDD) and assisted me with highlighting areas of concern within the FDD as well as the Franchise Agreement. He assists in composing questions and formulating answers, to help better comprehend the Franchise purchase and overall Franchise process. Kudos Mr. Wheelock!!

We reached out to Jeff to request a review of a franchise FDD and agreement. He was prompt and through with his findings. He also provided negotiating talking points for franchise agreement to be more favorable towards us. Some of his addendums will help save us thousands in the future upon sale, renew, or transferring our business. If you are in the market to purchase a franchise, please reach out to Jeff for review.

Jeff Wheelock did not disappoint. Leading up to our meeting, he was reachable and quick to respond to any of our questions. He walked through each aspect of our FDD and FA and expertly addressed all of our concerns. He helped us to understand certain legal scenarios by using simple examples while offering amicable solutions in his proposed addendums. If you truly want to understand what you're signing in your FDD and FA, then spend some time with Jeff Wheelock. Bottom line is, Jeff will be there for you!

Jeff Wheelock is the best franchise lawyer you will ever find! And trust me, if you are investing in a franchise, you need to work with a lawyer who ONLY specializes in franchises. From the first phone call to my signed franchise agreement, Jeff was fully committed to my success. His experience working with franchisors/franchisees on more than 450 agreements will give anyone looking for advice assurance that he knows his stuff. He gave me the confidence to successfully negotiate critical terms in my agreement that will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional profit for my franchise in the future. Thank you again Jeff - I couldn't have done it without you!

Jeff Wheelock was very thorough in reviewing franchise documents for us, and extremely helpful with advice on what it all means. It helped us to concentrate on the important questions to ask the franchisor (and ourselves) that would decide if the deal would work for us or not.

I needed a franchise lawyer to look over an FDD. Contacted Jeff because of the excellent reviews. From the initial phone call, to meeting in person, made the most stressful situation into the easiest part of the process in becoming a franchisee. I'd recommend Jeff Wheelock to anyone. If I could give more stars I would.

Jeff is incredibly thorough and very savvy in dealing with franchises. He reviewed my and franchisor documents in great detail and made himself abundantly available. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend Jeff Wheelock at Dickinson & Wheelock, P.C. attorneys office to anyone considering signing a franchise contract. There is sneaky language in most franchise contracts that could cost you fortune in the long run and you need a lawyer who is specialized in this field. Jeff Wheelock has reviewed several franchise opportunities for me and has given me the best outcome in negotiating the contract with the franchisors. Jeff is quick to review and respond to any questions you may have. He explains everything in layman's terms so its easy to understand. I won't go anywhere else besides him for any franchise contacts.

My daughter and I are evaluating a franchise opportunity and we are new to understanding franchises. Jeff Wheelock was recommended to us. I found Jeff to be honest, detailed and easy to communicate with. We spent about 3 hours with him He was very patient with us and made sure we understood what we were involved with. I would highly recommend Jeff Wheelock especially in the area of franchises.
