Why Choose Franchise Legal Support?
How Our Franchise Law Attorney Can Help You
Buying a Franchise / Agreement Review
- If you are thinking about buying a franchise, there will be many issues, documents, and agreements that must first be considered before making such a huge decision. Our franchise law attorneys can assist you through the primary steps necessary for starting a franchise operation and help you navigate the process.
- Real Estate Control & Lease Review
- When it comes to the location of your franchise, our experienced franchise law attorney in Los Angeles can guide you through the selection of a profitable location and help you review any lease agreements. It is our goal to minimize your liability so you can focus on starting up your franchise.
- Breach of Contract
- At the core of every business, company, or franchise will be some type of contract. In fact, nearly every type of business or commercial transaction is based on the terms established in a contract. When a contract has been violated—either due to simple misunderstanding or intentional harm—you need to seek legal assistance before the situation escalates.
- Fraud & Misrepresentation
- It is not uncommon to see fraud and misrepresentation in the business world, including among franchisees and franchisors. If you believe that you have been the victim of some sort of misrepresentation in a contract or in an agreement, consult our firm.
- Termination / Non-Renewal
- One of the most effective ways to terminate a franchise is to sell the business. If you need to sell a franchise or terminate or cancel a franchise agreement at the end of the term through non-renewal, our firm can assist you. The process is complex, so it is best to consult a professional.
- Franchise Associations
- When you need assistance in organizing a franchisee association, our firm can provide effective services for your franchise. Franchisee associations can provide strength and establish cooperative platforms, so planning for the future and communication within your company will be essential to maintaining smooth and conflict-free business operations.
- Selling a Franchise
- When you want to sell your franchise location, it can be overwhelming to sort through all of the legalities and key details. How do you know if you are minimizing liability if something goes wrong? Let our firm be your legal guide from start to finish, and you can brush all worries about selling your franchise aside.

I have been in franchising for years, and had several attorneys, but David is an invaluable resource, not just as an attorney providing guidance and in the resolution of disputes we have had with our franchisor, but in his business and operational experience. If you own a franchise David should be your lawyer.KS

I have known David Levaton for many years and have worked with him on behalf of the International Midas Dealers Association. As a member of the IMDA Board of Directors, many dealers who had issues, were buying or were selling told me that David was extremely helpful to them. The advise that he gave them was very clear and right to the point. His fees were very reasonable and his services were very timely. On a personal note, David has assisted me on a few issues with both Midas and customers. In each case, I was very happy with the outcome. I will not tell you that I "won" everytime, but I will share with you that, with David's efforts, we got the maximum result with a minimum effort and expense. I highly recommend David Levaton to you no matter which franchise you are involved with and sincerely believe that you will be very satisfied with his services.GH

David was spot on! He handled our case professionally, expediently, compassionately and with great concern. We were continually advised of the progress of our case and he was proactive in regard to keeping the process moving forward to a conclusion. He responded quickly to our communication and most often initiated the communication himself. We had been trying to address our problems with the franchisor for almost a year to no avail. David got the job done and the exit papers signed within a few months. He knows how to deal effectively, directly and clearly with the franchisors and is quick not to let progress lag along. We can not speak highly enough of David; it's tough to face spending more money on a difficult situation/business but David is worth every dollar. He handled the entire case with integrity, dignity and tact. Thank you!DZ
