“The lawyering on both sides has been really excellent, really excellent. So my hat’s off to both of you. Nevertheless, a decision does need to be made.”
Judge in Minnesota District Court in case in which Court Granted Injunction for Goldstein’s client in Wrongful Franchise Termination Case (Value $5 Million)

“OMG!!! Jeff, I am sitting in the car in my garage screaming!! You absolutely ROCK!!! Thank you so much! We will definitely sign this and get it back to you today. You are our HERO!!! Let me know if you need me to leave a review on your website! I am speechless!!! God is SO GOOD!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“Jeff: Thank you so much! This is such great news. It took you only one day of depositions to win our case. Our settlement exceeded even our highest hopes for ending this complex litigation. This was a big win.”

“I have a new life and new career and to a real degree have Jeff Goldstein to thank for it. When I got in a dispute with my franchisor, when all was black and I saw no way out, he carefully led the way. Jeff’s understanding of franchise law and litigation strategy, and his litigation and communication skills, are unparalleled. He is very creative in his approaches to representing franchisees and is not afraid of big organizations with a lot of clout and money behind them. He is a trooper and very loyal to his clients. I recommend him to any franchisee.”

“Once I came out of the dark tunnel, six months or so after the case ended, I saw even more clearly that I never would have gotten 10 feet without you.”

“Excellent work, Jeff!”

“Jeff, I am amazed that you were able to get the liquidated damages down that low, which allowed us to avoid bankruptcy. Until we retained you we had been dealing with hotel consultants who appeared to make little head-way in lowering the liquidated damages.”

“You did a great job on my termination case. You knew exactly how to take apart and attack their underreporting accusations. You saved my business and my family.”

Multi-Unit Fast Food Franchisee Owner (value over $2 Million)

“You had been recommended to us as being a “go-to guy” for hardball franchise litigation. Your reputation was well-earned. Thanks!”
Multi-Unit Franchisee Owner (value $1 Million)

Single-Unit Franchisee with no prior franchise experience (value $350,000)

Multi-Unit Franchisee Owner (value $1.5 Million)

“WOW. That was amazing. How do you write that stuff?”
Distributor Auto-Related Components (value $500,000)
