Dickey’s franchise owners & former Dickey’s franchise owners who feel they’ve been burned by DBRI are encouraged to contact Kelly Spann at Fortman Law to arrange a free initial, confidential consultation. Fortman Law is a fierce and principled franchisee law firm headed by attorney Jon Fortman. Fortman Law has earned high marks from UnhappyFranchisee.Com for its advocacy on behalf of franchise owners.
So we were pleased that Fortman Law had agreed to represent a couple of franchisees in their battles with (in our opinion) one of the nastiest, most litigious franchisor bullies that we’ve encountered in the past decade: Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. (DBRI).
We were even more pleased when Fortman Law agreed to provide free initial, fully confidential consultations to both current Dickey’s franchise owners who are still operating, and former Dickey’s franchise owners who have closed their stores.
If you are a current or former Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchise owner, contact Kelly Spann at Fortman Law:

NOTE: This post is not paid advertising nor has it been reviewed by Fortman Law. We do not receive any referral fees or advertising fees from Fortman Law for recommending them to Dickey’s franchise owners.
This is an unpaid endorsement prompted by our hope that Dickey’s franchise owners will be able to band together and remedy what appears to us to be extremely predatory and unconscionable franchise practices.
Fortman Law has the right to limit the number or scope of consultations. If we’ve overpromised, it’s on us not them… but give them a call. They’re good people and sincerely care.
OK, Jon Fortman might not want me saying this as he is a staunch under-promiser, but I have seen them in action and they will do whatever they can to minimize fees and will work on contingency whenever possible.
From what I understand, the ability to work on contingency is itself contingent on being able to work with a number of similarly situated franchisees, either individually or in a group action, so it is worth having an initial consultation as soon as possible even if you are concerned that you can’t afford much (or anything) toward legal fees.
You’ve got nothing to lose by talking to them.
If you are a current or former Dickey’s employee whose rights have been violated, Fortman Law may be able to help… or recommend someone who can.
Or if you have information about DBRI’s business practices that could be useful to those being sued by and/or suing Dickey’s, please feel free to call Kelly Spann at Fortman Law in confidence.
You may also contact the publisher of UnhappyFranchisee.com at UnhappyFranchisee[at]gmail.com or by calling (717) 371-1911 to share information or opinions that may be of interest to our readers and prospective franchise owners.
Confidentiality of our sources is our highest priority.

An outstanding firm who stands strong against bottom of the barrel franchisors.
Fortman Spann one of the best in the business and I wholeheartedly agree that using them to go up against a "franchise" like Dickey's (who's Chief Legal Officer now works for the IFA) is the smartest choice one could make. Don't hesitate, call them.
