Franchise Legal Support - Westlake Village, California

Eli Din

As being both a previous Midas franchisee and a property owner, I’ve known David for many years. David was extremely helpful in negotiating a new lease with Midas for me. Using his extensive knowledge and background in a very professional, calm, and systematic way, David managed to gap the differences of both parties’ expectations and bring about a satisfactory final deal. In addition, David used his expertise and persistence to negotiate a new lease with a Billboard company which has a signage on my property as well. It was truly a pleasure working with David. He always answered my emails and phone calls promptly, professionally, and personably.
Excellent all around service. Highly recommended.

We are first time Franchise owners and were looking for advice and expertise. David was not only patient, he was thorough with the details of our multiple venture opportunities at that time. By the time we made our final decision on the Franchise we wanted to purchase, David helped us every step of the way with the utmost professionalism. He was extremely responsive with email requests and was HONEST in his option/ assessment of our decision. We greatly appreciated his candor and to some degree it put us at great ease.
Once leaving our meeting(s) we knew that not only was it worth hiring a lawyer for professional reasons, but we gained so much knowledge about the Franchising that we knew but didn't really didn't know! I would recommend this firm without hesitation.

We were looking for a reputable attorney to represent our interests as a franchisee in Florida in dealings with our Franchisor in California. We were lucky enough to have found David, not only was he a nice guy who took the time to educate us regarding how to get what we wanted, he was also very responsive and billed us fairly for his time. Very happy I would strongly recommend him.

I was introduced to David several months ago, and from our very first meeting, I was and have been super impressed with him. I enlisted David’s help to vet out a franchise opportunity and review the contract/FDD for consideration. David’s representation and knowledge of the franchise industry is immeasurable! My husband and I feel very lucky to have found someone with such depth of knowledge and who specializes in representation of the franchisee (insert happy dance). David is extremely professional, makes himself available on short notice and has such an eloquent articulation of the legal language. As we move through the franchise ownership funnel, I look forward to partnering with David. He’s definitely a solid advisor that we want on our business team going forward.

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!

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 very satisfied with his services.

We hired David in very tough time with a franchise that we got involved in. He dealt with the franchise very directly and was a able to solve our dispute. We didn't even have to go to court because of his counsel. He was honest and fair in his price. I would definitely recommend David for any franchise disputes. Thanks David. God Bless
