HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Jeff Wheelock is very knowledgeable about franchise, and explains those FDD terms really well. He gave clear outline of his service, and I knew right away what I would be getting after the first phone conversion with him. He is efficient and his work is phenomenal. At the end, I feel I have a much clear picture about I am getting into, and thanks to Jeff!

Jeff Wheelock is a MUST for anyone considering purchasing a franchise whether new or resale. There is no better return on investment than having an experienced franchise attorney review an often one-sided agreement. Jeff will identify red flags and other clauses you will want to negotiate. Do NOT buy a franchise without first having Jeff review all of the documents. The small investment will pay huge dividends in the long run.

Like many others have stated, I felt instantly comfortable with Jeff Wheelock starting with the first phone call. He was up front about the pricing and scope of his services. He was ready to work with me right away. When it came time to review the FDD and contract, he gave his frank opinion along with patient teaching of what certain items meant. I'm pretty well educated and had lots of experience with contracts before, but there were still about 4 key sections that I had not noticed would leave me very vulnerable. I'm pretty tough to impress and my expectations were exceeded working with Jeff.
