Myles M. Mattenson is an attorney with experience advising manufacturers and distributors of laundromat equipment, as well as purchasers and sellers of laundromat businesses throughout California. Mr. Mattenson has authored numerous articles of interest in the Coin Laundry Association as well as Fabricare, the magazine of the Dry Cleaning and Laundry Institute.
Mr. Mattenson also successfully represented a distributor of dry cleaning equipment in an action before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal which established that valuation of a security interest in the equipment and location of the bankrupt should be based upon the worth “on location” and not “off location.” This holding is discussed in the published decision, to be found on this website, of Ardmor Vending Co., et al. v. Peter Kim, et al., 130 F.3d 863 (9th Cir. 1997).
Mr. Mattenson, based upon his many years of experience in this industry, can assist you with dry cleaning business issues such as lease review, equipment purchases including security interest acquired by equipment distributors, competition issues, common area maintenance charges, and the purchase or sale or such businesses, including escrow instruction issues, income and expense representations, income and expense projections, and security documentation executed in connection with the purchase or sale of such businesses, including assignments of lease as collateral security, security agreements, and UCC forms. Mr. Mattenson can also assist with litigation pertaining to the above issues as well as fraud and misrepresentation in the sale of such businesses.
One of the issues frequently confronting dry cleaning businesses is whether the business complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Buildings constructed prior to the adoption of the ADA must make repairs to comply if the modifications are “readily achievable” alterations. Inexpensive steps to be taken by a business owner may include: (1) ramping one step; (2) installing a bathroom grab bar; (3) lower a paper towel dispenser; (4) rearranging furniture; (5) installing offset hinges to widen a doorway; or (6) painting new lines to create a accessible parking space.”
Litigation regarding such matters is time consuming and costly. When dealing with these matters, it is generally more economical in time and money to comply than to evade!
