Testimonials

Testimonial from: Lindley Lynch
I want to work with you. You are the most personable attorney I have ever spoke with. As I read your book I knew I simply needed to speak with you. I feel strongly that you are the best out there, and I have done my research! We are on an incredibly limited budget and know that will grow as we do!

Testimonial from: Ryan Durishin
“Our company has recommended the legal services of Harold L. Kestenbaum and his team of Paralegals for many years. I consider Harold to be a mentor of mine since I began working in the franchise industry. Harold and his team do a tremendous job of keeping us informed of industry changes, creating thorough franchise documents and educating our portfolio of franchisors on best practices to grow their emerging business. Their responsiveness and quality of work gives each client the feeling of being his firm’s only client. We can always rely on Harold and his team’s professionalism and preparation”.

“I have been associated with Harold Kestenbaum for over 4 decades. During that time, and continuing today, Harold has been the ultimate franchise mentor. Having worked together on a number of franchised businesses, Harold has always provided me with the most comprehensive franchise documents and contemporary guidance in a timely and responsive manner. I unfailingly recommend his services to upcoming and established franchisors.”

Testimonial from: David DiFerdinando
My company has used the legal services of Harold L. Kestenbaum for many years. As a franchisor in the fast casual food business, there are always new challenges and changes in the industry, and Harold’s broad knowledge and over 50 years of experience in franchise law has proven to be invaluable to us. He is always very responsive to our needs, providing us with expert, professional advice and service when needed; as well as providing us with advance notice of deadlines and status updates on required disclosure renewals.

Testimonial from: Richard J. Sharoff
I have worked with Harold Kestenbaum and his firm over the past two plus years with several franchise clients of my firm. Harold and his team of paralegals are not only highly capable, but responsive beyond all expectations compared with many franchise attorneys with whom I have worked over the past 25 years. And his fee structure, with a fixed monthly payment, is extremely reasonable for the quality of services his firm provides. Highly recommend!

Testimonial from: Paul Spindler
I have worked with Harold for ten years. He is erudite, available, unfailingly professional and perhaps best of all practical. Harold and his team deliver impeccable client service and I have happily recommended him to fellow franchisors and will continue to do so.

Testimonial from: Gary Occhiogrosso
Harold is second to none. For more than 25 years Harold has been my attorney on numerous franchise projects from start-up to turnarounds.

Harold is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my company’s best interests in mind. I am always informed and I always feel like our company is in very good hands. He is totally responsive to my calls and questions virtually anytime day or night.

I have personally benefited from Harold’s legal advice and counsel. He is greatly respected among his peers, colleagues, and friends as a seasoned leader with the highest caliber of professional skills and legal instincts. Additionally Harold’s integrity, humility and genuine concern for his clients have made him not only a great professional asset but also a friend.

CLIENT TESTIMONY

Harold was the last of three Franchise Lawyers I interviewed. His honesty and integrity were clear from our very first conversation, which made my decision easy. If your an established franchisor looking for a new attorney, look no further. If your just starting the franchising process, and you’re ready, he’ll help you build your first FDD. If you’re not ready, he’ll tell you. He will not take your money, unless he’s convinced you will be successful. Call him, he’s easy to talk to.
