Seeking Contingency Fee lawyer for Franchise Fraud in Dallas /Ft Worth Area.?
I am seeking a lawyer in the Dallas/Fort Worth area who can represent me on a contingency basis. I am willing to do a 50/50 split on any Money Judgment, which is retrieved on my behalf I am seeking $350,000. I am a victim of Franchise Agreement Fraud, which was packaged to my wife and I as a Licensing Agreement for a large restaurant in the Colleyville, TX area, which has failed. We learned too late that this person had also defrauded another family in the State of Illinois back in 1998 for the exact same thing and a money judgment was found in favor of the Plaintiff for $402,250.00. We believe we have a very strong case against this person today. In addition, the former Plaintiff from Illinois, who was also defrauded back in ‘98 is willing to come to Texas and testify on my behalf.
Some points to note about my case: I’ll refer to the guy who defrauded us as, "The Defendant."
• After our restaurant failed, the Defendant contacted the Landlord to purchase all of our signs and materials for pennies on the dollar that we paid so that he could create his own restaurant.
•The defendant’s conduct was fraudulent.
•Our damages are a result of misrepresentations and concealments
•We entered into an agreement with the defendant who misrepresented his Texas Corporation and no such corporation existed the date our Licensing/Franchise agreement was executed.
•Said he had methods for inventory, cost control, methods and techniques for personnel training and management, in-addition to high standards of quality and service.
•An initial training program for the managers and chefs.
•Continuing operational assistance based on Royalties he was to receive.
•An Operation Manual.
•After we fired the Defendant for his consulting, franchise/licensing services he was arrested at our restaurant for a 3rd Degree Felony for carrying a loaded gun into my restaurant while he was intoxicated.
•Based on the agreement, we spent large sums of money complying with his terms and agreement.
•We believe the agreement and representations made by the defendant were made for the purpose and intent of deceiving and defrauding us, which induced us to reliance upon them.
•We believed that the agreements and representations made by the defendant to be true and relied upon them and expended a large sum complying with him.
•We believe by virtue of all of these facts, we were doomed to fail from the beginning and we did.
My wife and I have learned a very, very expensive lesson and have lost every single thing we have owned and worked for. We are broke. I am seeking someone who would find it in his or her heart to take on this case and assist me serve justice to this fraud.
