George B. Mast

I've had an ongoing suit with George Mast since 2019. He took me and another woman to court for unpaid legal fees that we never knew we owed because he admitted in court he had the wrong address due to his own negligence. Although he had our email addresses the whole time and contact information vi...a phone he did everything through the mail and wrote down the wrong address even though in our file the right address was there. Long story short he sues us takes us to court for $19,000. In the beginning we were giving absolutely horrific legal advice he was ignorant enough to say a separation agreement does not need to be notarized in North Carolina to be valid which is not the case. As a matter of fact we had proof that the notary signed the separation agreement without the wife present due to her illness. We told him this and he said it didn't matter. Crazy!!! There was no more money to fight this battle and he basically told us just sign over the house. In court the judge even corrected him about the separation agreement and said it absolutely has to be notarized... what an embarrassment this man is. The man is 87 years old and has no business practicing law and putting other people's lives in his hands. Long story short The judgment came down to 10,000 which he still did not earn. So a judgment is being placed on a woman that is dying of cancer that lives in a trailer in Florida and a single mother whose husband died last year. Due to his negligence a house was lost and an elderly woman was left with nothing. We have every intention to move forward with a complaint to the bar association . He was also caught billing for his mistakes. He made errors in paperwork and had to go back and fix them and charged us for it. On top of it lost 120 pages of legal work done by a prior attorney. It's unbelievable how the court system works now. But at least Johnston county courts heard first hand how negligent and irresponsible this man is and his firm. I trained monkey would have done a better job for us. Do not ever use this firm or George Mast. www.mastfirm.com
