ACCOMPLISHING YOUR OBJECTIVES THROUGH DRAFTING, NEGOTIATION OR LITIGATION

You have a brilliant legal mind, keen business instincts, incredible emotional intelligence, true professional decorum, and a sunny disposition…. We are truly lucky to have you.

Both my wife and I own small businesses that over the years have expanded rapidly. I have always looked to Doug for advice on the legal issues that have arisen. We have worked with him both to revise the agreements we use with our business as well as to resolve disputes that have come up. He has wealth of knowledge on the issues that growing businesses face and his counsel has been invaluable.

Doug’s attention to his clients and dedication to his craft shows how he treats all his clients like they’re his family member. If you’re looking for a lawyer to provide assistance with all sorts of business matters, he’s the one to work with! He’ll provide the dedication and attention to detail to help you navigate through any complex legal matter you may face in your normal business operations.

Thank you for everything going all the way back to the LOI. This has been a long road. I very much appreciate your patience, your guidance, your expertise, and your commitment every step of the way. I have every confidence that I have the best possible terms & conditions in this lease because I had you in my corner. I hope to be in touch again in just under five years to get your help with our first extension! Until then, I hope to hear about Lanard and Associates involvement in many other Athletic Republic center openings – we’ll be all the better for it.

Having used LUTHER|LANARD for both a Franchise Agreement review and development of an Asset Purchase Agreement, I would without hesitation refer and use the firm again for any of my business needs. Kim went above and beyond in closing this deal to the point where she was driving the timelines with the sellers. Fantastically client focused firm.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in corresponding with you. Thank you so much for assisting me in negotiating the sub lease for my new office space. You were both a pleasure to work with and I will most certainly keep you in mind for future needs. I am now fully moved into the space and enjoying its use. I have attached an executed copy of the lease agreement for your records. I wish the both of you the very best!

You have been the most professional, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney that I have ever dealt with. With your assistance, my three year journey to own a small business has finally come to fruition. I wish you the best in the future. And if I ever need your assistance, or have someone who needs a great business attorney, I will recommend you.

Wanted to first say thank you and tell you how much I appreciate your work on this and previous leases. You really have brought a ton of value to each negotiation helping us understand, and effectively negotiating to get us the best possible terms. Thank you again for your quality and professional service throughout.

Thank you Erin for being so diligent and patient in explaining the various items, and answering our questions, during our review call this morning. We were very happy and impressed with the thoughtful and comprehensive notes, comments that Erin included on the Franchise Agreement. …. Thank you both again for all your help and assistance and providing a valuable education on the aspects of a franchise agreement.

How are you? We had our lease review today with Kimberly. Kim was excellent. We were very impressed with Kim’s work in the lease review process. Thank you very much for having her work with us. We are still meeting next week with the landlord but I just wanted to send a quick note. Have a pleasant weekend.

Thank you so much for making this process extremely smooth, digestible to understand and for being so prompt with all communications! Hopefully we can do it again in the future, it was truly a pleasure and we are glad you guided us through the process with our first franchise. Thank you Nancy for introducing and having Rebecca work with us, you all are amazing!

Thank you, Sara – we cannot say enough good things about you and the services you provided for us. We mention you and the Lanard firm by name whenever we speak to other potential franchisees or even other business associates. Thank you for doing such a thorough job and getting us the in the best position possible. Much appreciated. All the best!
