Client Testimonials 

 

In early 2004, we needed a new law firm for a particularly difficult franchise litigation matter.  The Schwartz Cooper team met with us only two days after our initial phone call.  They took the time to understand our situation, and their guidance, counsel and style yielded the desired results.  We prevailed on our lawsuit in Federal Court and were awarded a significant judgment entry.  Schwartz Cooper has since represented us successfully on subsequent litigation matters.  Additionally, the firm’s corporate and franchise attorneys have thoroughly reviewed and revised our franchise related documents and agreements to better serve and protect our business interests. 

Schwartz Cooper, with their team of seasoned attorneys, has earned our complete confidence.  We now rely on their guidance and direction on all franchise and general corporate matters.  We look forward to working with Schwartz Cooper for many years to come.

As we began our startup business in the health care field, we were immediately presented with our first major hurdle – a lawsuit filed against us by our former employers.  Thanks to the adept handling of this matter by Carmen Caruso of Schwartz Cooper, my partners and I were able to focus more on developing what is now an extremely successful business, while Schwartz Cooper handled all the legal issues.  The pressures of entering a startup business alone are overwhelming.  Coupled with a lawsuit on day one would have been otherwise crippling if not for the legal expertise provided by Carmen and the Schwartz Cooper team at this crucial time.

Our firm had been involved in a contentious lawsuit for a year.  This lawsuit was consuming an extensive amount of time and resources, and threatened the viability of our company.  We switched legal counsel to Schwartz Cooper after one year of making no progress on the resolution of this case.  Carmen Caruso and his associates aggressively pursued and achieved a successful resolution.  Our Schwartz Cooper team was persistent and diligent and professional.
