Garner, Ginsburg, & Johnsen, P.A.

I highly recommend Elliot, who I have worked with on setting up the business, obtaining trademarks and successfully working through a complex litigation. He has deep industry knowledge, took the time to understand the issues and what I was trying to achieve. He's a good listener and provides excellent legal advice and coaching throughout the process.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elliot and having him on my side during a recent acquisition of an existing business. I reached out to a number of prospective lawyers and from my first conversation until we got the deal completed, he was an invaluable resource and person to me. Every step of the way, he was knowledgeable, practical, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Admittedly, I have never had the need for legal counsel until now, and I'm glad I know exactly who to call next time I do! Thank you for everything, Elliot!

Elliot helped me quickly and easily navigate the sale of my franchise business. He was efficient, accessible, direct, and thoughtful in his direction and support. He made a complex situation easy and straightforward. I’d highly recommend him!

I 100% recommend Elliot and team for your legal assistance needs. Elliot is a 5 out of 5. His ability to provide incredibly valuable expertise and advice combined with working closely with me on my goals throughout the process, led to the best possible outcome. He represented me and my business very well through a variety of challenging circumstances. Elliot is easy to work with, very responsive, and gets results for his clients. He works hard on behalf of his clients and if you are in need of lawyer, I recommend you make Elliot your first call.

I enjoyed working with Kirsten, she's very knowledgeable, communicable, informative and has get me out of my Franchise Agreement. I highly recommend Kirsten and her team. Thank you Kirsten for all you have done and your hard work. May God richly bless you and your team!

Bernice walked us through the steps better than all of the other Attorney's we interviewed. That kind of service builds relationships.

Elliot is absolutely a 5.0 professional! It was the best decision I made as the team was so responsive, and thorough way above my expectations. The communications was amazing to respond to our needs and keep me informed. This is our firm of choice.

Erin did a great job for me. She defended me in a franchise agreement lawsuit. It was over a quickly. I would use them again.

Throughout my time overseeing a PE firm for the past 15 years, I’ve interacted with my fair share of lawyers. While most are decent, it’s rare to encounter those who are truly outstanding. I’m pleased to report that Elliot, Kirsten, and Erin fall into the latter category. My team found ourselves in a particularly complex situation, and Elliot and his team delivered the very best possible outcome for us. They exhibited professionalism, conciseness, and exceptional ease to collaborate with. They swiftly gathered all pertinent information surrounding our issue, assumed control, steering the situation while consistently seeking our input and guidance. If you have any issue with franchise law, you should call these guys. I’m so glad I did.

Elliot Ginsburg is amazing! He navigated several contracts with me with high attention to detail, responsiveness, professionalism, and a great deal of caring! I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing a legal ally for their business needs.

Elliot Ginsburg has been representing my edibles business since MN became legal to sell low dose hemp edibles. He's been wonderful to work with as I enter the business of adult use, recreational edibles in the cannabis industry. I feel extremely fortunate to receive his guidance as things are rapidly changing with the new legalization of cannabis; and I would highly recommend him to other cannabis businesses who are seeking legal counsel. He is quick to respond and emails cannabis updates that he finds are pertinent to my business.

Elliot is extremely professional and knowledgable. We will be working with his firm long term. Highly recommend.

I was represented by Erin Johnsen dealing with a successful franchise closure and a lease termination. Erin was very responsive and thorough with both issues. Erin and I reviewed courses of action before moving forward. She listened and gave advice related to risk and exposure of the options we were reviewing. I alway felt that Erin had my best interest in mind when giving me advice on how to proceed. I wouldn’t hesitate hiring Erin again if required. I would recommend Erin as a competent and capable attorney.

If you really need a franchise attorney don’t look further!! Elliot Ginsburg is simply the best; behind his calm demeanor and prudent approach, there is a sharp, knowledgeable and battle tested lawyer. Strongly recommend Elliot and the team Garner, Ginsburg & Johnsen, P.A.

I sent a message after researching for a Franchise Lawyer. Erin got in contact with me in a very timely fashion, and has been with me every step of the way. Erin and I talked multiple times before my decision to go forward with my claim, and I appreciated the amount of research she had put in, the honest legal advice, and the the fact that at no time did I ever feel pressured. My claim was resolved in a short time with minimal amount of effort on my part. Erin handled everything, kept me updated on any progress, and was able to get me what I needed! She even made sure to scrutinize details of the paperwork to make sure I was protected at all angles. I appreciate how easy this is experience was for me, and that she won this claim for me!

"I worked with Elliot at Garner, Ginsburg & Johnsen. He was fantastic. He was responsive, thoughtful, and truly cared about my interests. I recommend him to anyone looking for legal help in the purchase or sale of a business."

I had the experience of working with Elliot Ginsburg through the Acquisition process of my business. He provided high quality service, clear explanations and prompt responsiveness to my emails and calls all the while providing great care and guidance through an unfamiliar process. I look forward to working with Elliot again and I highly recommend him and the Garner, Ginsburg, & Johnsen, P.A. team.

I can't say enough good things about Erin Johnsen! My business partner and I reached out to the firm after we had purchased a 3 pack of a new franchise whose product we loved. My husband and I have owned a senior care franchise for over 17 years and never felt the need to consult a franchise attorney. I will never make that mistake again! When major red flags surfaced just before we signed a lease for this new business, we knew we needed an expert in franchise law. Erin was such a blessing! She was extremely quick in finding things that were done during the process that are considered illegal in Minnesota. Even though the agreement stated we'd lose our franchise fees should we back out, the company quickly changed their tune when Erin presented a demand letter with her findings. We got our money back and had the non-compete clause removed! No matter how experienced you are in business or franchising, ALWAYS consult a franchise attorney BEFORE signing anything! I wholeheartedly recommend Erin Johnsen and the whole Garner, Ginsburg & Johnsen, P.A. firm.

Elliot helped protect my business by guiding me through the Trademark process. His knowledge and foresight will give me piece of mind as I look to grow my startup business. I highly recommend Elliot and his team!

We had an issue which most likely would not have been resolved with franchisor directly. However, thanks to Mr. Ginsburg and his team the situation was resolved in a timely, professional manner outside of courtroom. If you are looking for an attorney in a franchise industry, Garner, Ginsburg, & Johnsen, P.A. should be your first choice!
