This company is the ultimate franchise fraud. Neal Lyons is a major crook. He will sell you a franchise, never give you a case, and then take away your franchise and resell it. Don't bother to sue him, he has hidden all his money in his child's name and doesn't have any insurance. (This is my opinion)

First the person who wrote this is not Neal l.Neal l is the CEO of the company.This person has signed his name is the fraud here.They are decieving all that read this.
Second this franchise has over 30 happy owners.Just because you fail or dont do well doesnt mean it is everyone eles fault.
Last all these claims have been dismissed,or L&W has gotten a judgement against them.Several cases have been awards in excess of $85,000.There are no awards or judgements against L&W or any company affliated with them.It is easy to defame others when you knowingly hide behind a false name.And to use the CEO of the company is extremely unfair.
The way to find out who is telling the truth is when looking into L&W to call the other franchisees and ask.Not read this stuff hidden behind a person who had nothing to do with this.
