Matthew G. Watson

We went for a consultation back in November, paid him $350 per hour. He gave us instructions on what to do before retaining him and taking legal action, then if it didn’t work he would draft a letter for us, of course we would retain him at that point. When we called him back it took over 3 weeks t...o get ahold of them. His staff apparently lost our file, then wanted us to pay another $350 consult fee. That seems fishy, because he told me that if a client doesn’t retain him after the consult he throws out the notes. He’s a thief. When he finally called me back he was arrogant and very unprofessional. He started yelling at me and telling me that we couldn’t afford him so we should just break this up. I was just trying to ask him why should we pay twice when he failed to keep notes. He took real offense when I told him I could send in our receipt. He’s a crook, and doesn’t treat people with respect. He kept saying I charge $350 per hour and if you can’t afford that then how are you going to afford my services. I never told him we couldn’t afford it we just didn’t want to pay twice for a consult visit, he just didn’t like being questioned. He’s not a good person, so be careful. Best thing to do is to find a reputable lawyer. Thumbs down to Matt Watson.

Matt Watson is Rude, arrogant, and all about money. Please take your business elsewhere. He asked me for a 5000 retainer up front. I Had to ask him 5 or so times for a receipt. As the 5000 was paid in cash. He Wrote two letters before asking me for another 5000. The only things we talked about were h...im needing more money. Never about the case. I asked about a couple items on a bill. He blew up on me and told me to leave his office. I have had lawyers in the past so I know the jig, but he is out there and unethical. I never leave reviews, even after poor service. But this was so bad I thought I had to say something. Hope this helps, Luke.
