Jeff Wheelock has been great to work with and his knowledge of franchise law has been invaluable during the daunting task of our franchise acquisition. He is patient, thorough easy to get ahold of and explains things in easy to understand verbiage. We are very confident that with Jeff by our side regarding all franchise legal matters, we have a true team mate to help guide us! We highly recommend him.

I called a few lawyers before deciding on Jeff Wheelock. From the moment I spoke to him over the phone he was extremely helpful and already looking out for me. He is very knowledgeable in the franchise area. I would definitely recommend using him.

Jeff took me through my franchise agreement line by line making sure i understood every detail i was signing. He focused on two main categories - am i protected if things go really well and am i protected is if things do not go well. I had no idea how exposed i was in the downside scenario until he walked me through a few example situations. I also did not understand the exposure i was taking on the upside scenario. When i read the agreement i read the part about territory completely wrong and because of his accurate assessment of territory i chose to not pursue this franchise. He created a simple to read addendum that i was able to send on to the franchise owners and gave me great tips on negotiating terms. When i find another franchise i intend to pursue i will definitely contact Jeff again to review any agreements before i sign.
