READ WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT GARNER & GINSBURG
“The complaint Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. wrote for the court about how our franchisor defrauded us was as vivid as a suspense novel. His exceptional writing skills convinced anyone who read it of our cause. Not only did the court agree that we had been defrauded, but he convinced our state franchise agency to go after the franchisor, too.”
– Paul Amoruso,
former franchisee, Washington, D.C.
“We bought a franchise on the basis of claims that turned out to be totally untrue. Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. sued not only the franchisor, but also its owners and investors. [They] came up with mountains of evidence of the franchisor’s fraud. In the end, [they] got us a settlement that had the other side writing checks to us for years.”
– Keith D,
Former Franchisee
“When our supplier tried to refuse to renew our dealer agreement, Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. took charge and filed suit. The lawsuit stopped the non-renewal from going forward, and we were able to . . . work things out.”
– Chad Hall,

The legal concepts and the frauds were extremely complex in nature. Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. sorted through them and presented a brilliant case in front of our arbitrator.

– Kempton and Rosita Coady, Corporate,
Senior Executives, Franchise Owners, and Cornell MBAs.
I was devastated and hopelessly stuck. The franchise agreement I entered into was vague and did not protect my rights. The franchisor engaged in unscrupulous behavior damaging my business and other franchisees’ businesses. As a last ditch effort, a group of franchisees from New York and New Jersey, including me, went to Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. for help. From day one, Elliot Ginsburg treated us with care, worked very diligently towards a solution, and made himself available to address all of our needs. We felt protected. Garner & Ginsburg, P.A. supported us every step of the way. All of the franchisees were very happy with the outcome. Most importantly, justice was finally given its due and we couldn’t have done it without Garner & Ginsburg, P.A.
