“I have known Gary Isenberg for over 25 years and have always found him to be knowledgeable, professional and dependable. Gary's extensive hospitality experiences, coupled with his exceptional communication skills have earned him the distinction as a respected leader in our industry.”

“Dan, I have attached the arbitration award which we received yesterday afternoon. Insofar as your head-to-head against Opposing Expert is concerned, the score is now Lesser 1, Opposing Expert 0. Of the $4,127,000 in damages to which Opposing Expert testified, the arbitration panel awarded the following amount: $0. This is the legal equivalent of a first round knockout by Lesser of Opposing Expert. A left hook followed by a devastating right uppercut, and on the canvas he went. Way to go Champ! This one has to go on your resume.”

"The experts at LWHA - Dan, Evan and Gary - have set the standard for hospitality consulting, feasibility, valuation and operational advisory. Their (collective) assertive and sharp acumen are like no other. When referring operators, developers, lenders to expert professionals, one can count on this team to be diligent, intelligent, and proactive. LWHA puts their client first and you'd want Dan's quick thinking and profound industry knowledge on your side!"

“I have always been impressed with Dan Lesser’s knowledge and expertise which I have relied upon many times.

His blunt discussion on how a restaurant’s success has little to do with food, and much to do about real estate, was thought provoking and a crowd pleaser."
