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.

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

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

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

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

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

Mr. Levaton did a great job helping us review a new FDD. He brought up a lot of good points and helped us structure a list of questions/concerns for the franchisor. After the review we felt a lot more comfortable with the content. We would highly recommend Mr. Levaton to anyone who needs franchise legal support.
