Hear From Our Clients
“Zarco kept a packed-room audience of 220 Hawaii Automobile Dealer Association (HADA) members and guests spellbound for his one-and-a-half-hour remarks on franchise law. ‘He spoke in terms everyone could understand,’ said Sky Stewar, guest of husband Tom Stewart, who works with a HADA associate member firm. ‘He brought 36 pages of law to life,’ and another in the audience – a TV station manager and a HADA associate member… How was he able to hold a big diverse audience like that for nearly two hours? The answer was in his ability to simplify complex legal matters so that people are able to easily understand all of their rights under Hawaii’s laws.” – Review of Robert Zarco’s remarks to the HADA
“Zarco Einhorn Salkowski, P.A. took over a difficult case on contingency when we could no longer afford the hourly rates of the previous law firm. Our experience with Zarco Einhorn Salkowski exceeded all of our expectations. They were passionate, involved, and made us feel protected. They also won a large judgment for us. Even the judge noted that the outcome would probably have been different with the original lawyer.” – Anonymous, Testimonial collected from research process by U.S. News — Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms”
“This is the best law firm that a Franchise owner can hire for a difficult problem. Robert Zarco is a businessman and engages his clients as business owners, on their level. He understands the particular needs of a Franchise business and then applies a unique expertise that is the best you can possibly get for this highly specialized area of the law. His team is totally professional on every level and if your case has any prospect of success, Zarco and Company will attain it for their clients. I also recommend this firm because I believe they are positive and very decent people who actually care about their clients and empathize with the stress and anxiety that litigation brings. Finally, I would only call this team if your problem is severe and your situation is complex. They are the industry’s best in the Franchise area.” – Ralph Flannery Fuddruckers, Testimonial collected from research process by U.S. News — Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms”
“Robert Zarco and his Team are truly in a league of their own. I experienced a wrongful termination scenario with my former franchise where it appeared all was lost. Not only was my case complex, but discovering the correct details in the correct order at the correct time, was absolutely essential. No detail was too small.

Mr. Zarco is a true master at his craft, his memory and ability to devour large bandwidths of data while engaged in simultaneous activities was astounding to me, yet seemed effortless for him! I was constantly in awe, particularly during mediation. The discovery timeframe for my case spanned over one year, yet his recall and timing were ninja-level. I witnessed Mr. Zarco carrying a telephone conversation with our mediator while his Team entered/exited the room, handed him other phones for a quick listen, documents for signature/quick glance, Cuban coffee/guava pastry, etc., yet their sync and flow mirrored a well-oiled machine. Meanwhile, Mr. Zarco never once missed a beat. I also felt the mutual respect this man shared with his entire Team.

In the end, his mastery afforded us a win. I will never forget his leadership skills, command of room, and his “above and beyond” take-charge attitude. It was an honor to witness firsthand a sliver of how he built such an impeccable reputation that earned his firm international recognition. Even now (and years later), I text him to say hello and he always texts back with genuine engagement. His secret weapon? A heart of pure gold.” – Kelly Worley, Franchisee for European Wax Center

“My experience with the law firm of Zarco Einhorn Salkowski, P.A. was extremely positive. I worked primarily with attorneys Robert Einhorn and Michael Braunstein, but I also had interaction with other members of their staff as well. Robert Zarco even reached-out to us to make sure all was going well, and to let us know that we should feel comfortable that all of the resources of the entire firm were at our disposal. They truly cared! The level of professionalism & follow-through from everyone in the firm contributes heavily to their terrific reputation in the legal world. Attorneys Robert Einhorn and Michael Braunstein are outstanding attorneys and are extremely knowledgeable. They helped me to understand all elements of my legal matter, provided guidance from multiple different angles and were able to articulate my critical decision points. Not only did I respect and trust their judgement, but I also felt comfortable during all of my communications with them. They truly dedicated themselves and their resources to my needs, and made sure I was fully informed along the way. In my opinion, they are no doubt, one of the top firms in their field nationally. I would definitely refer others to this firm.” – John Zelenika, President of Capstone Franchise Advisors
“On behalf of the National Franchisee Association for Jack in the Box and the nearly 1,800 restaurants we represent, I want to personally thank you for your advocacy, legal representation and nearly perfect resolution to our matter. In our minds, our case was unique in that we wanted peace and transparency with our franchisor and an engaging advisory council. We simply wanted our franchisor to understand and appreciate the benefits a happy healthy franchise community bring to a brand. Although it seems logical that any franchisor would understand this, it took engaging you guys to get their attention. Your reputation, influence and counsel were critical in affecting management and cultural change at Jack in the Box. We are excited about our future with the new leadership team.” – F. Michael Norwich, Jr. Chairman Jack in the Box – NFA
