If I could leave 10 stars I would. Matt absolutely crushed it for my business acquisition. It was a long process, but I would have been unable to get it done without his guidance!

We worked with Matt Wizmur at the Spadea Lignana Law Firm, when we recently sold our franchise business. He provided great value and counsel through the entire process. We were thrown a few curveballs by other parties involved (landlord, franchisor), and Matt was a great sounding board and provided his counsel on options we had, based on his experience with other franchise owners selling their business. He charged an upfront flat fee, and we found it to be extremely reasonable, so we then did not have to worry about asking questions, clarifications, opinions, help, etc. that would run up billable hours under a retainer and per hour arrangement. We had a successful completion of our sale, and we thank Matt for his partnership throughout it. We highly recommend Matt for all of the reasons above.

I recently sold my small business and used Matt Wizmur to help with all of my legal needs. Matt was terrific in orchestrating all the documentation between myself and the buyer, negotiating terms with the buyers team and working with the buyers lender. The buyer used an SBA loan and was not very organized. Matt make this deal as smooth as possible. He was great to work with and gave great advice. I would highly recommend him and his firm!

I just recently completed a business acquisition with the help of Matt Wizmur at Spadea Lignana. I could not have asked for a better experience. We had some real difficulties dealing with the bank but Matt consistently stayed on top of it and handled all of their concerns in a timely fashion. He went above and beyond to help ensure we would make it to closing. He is extremely responsive and reliable as well as experienced and knowledgeable in his field. He will do whatever it takes to help. I can be very picky but Matt was a great asset to me. I would highly recommend using Matt in any business-related matter and I would definitely use him again.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Wizmur on the sale of my business. Matt’s acumen was key in facilitating a smooth transaction. Some components of the sale, in my opinion, were nuanced. If not for the detailed counsel I received, this process would have been much more difficult. Matt made it streamlined and simple and I am very grateful for having worked with him on this.

My husband, Bob and I utilized Spadea Lignana for a re-assignment of a franchise. The service was outstanding. Our attorney, Matt Wizmur, was extremely professional, diligent and knowledgeable. Our transfer of ownership was a particularly arduous one. Matt maintained a calm, but resolute demeanor throughout the process. The office staff assisted us in a timely fashion, as well. We would highly recommend the use of this firm!
