Another Rude Review

While I understand his bluntness, Mathew decided to cut me off by saying “blah blah blah” while explaining my situation. Very off putting. Especially as I patiently sat and listened to his story about being over worked and having to call “80 people in 20 minutes.” Anyways… canceling my membership. No...t that it has an impact anyways. I hope he is able to squeeze whatever bug out his *** so he can finally not be so tense. Two stars since both of our time was wasted.

Rude and dismissive attorney

Matthew May was my attorney for 2 months. Outside of getting legal counsel on our first initial call, he was not helpful. It took days sometimes weeks to get in touch with him and when we did he was slow in responding to important and time sensitive documents. Matthew didn't pay attention to the case... and any of the latest updates even though he was copied on every email. He would draft old outdated information that was no longer relevant because he wasn't paying attention to detail. He was dismissive, didn't take my case seriously and we had to do everything communicating with the other party to recoup lost funds without Matthew May's involvement. On the last call with Matthew May he talked over us and hung up the phone in our face while we were still talking. We cancelled our membership immediately afterwards. Matthew May is rude as hell and unprofessional. I would not recommend him as an attorney and would strongly suggest working with someone who has more couth.

Extremely helpful

I spoke with Mathew May a few times concerning the rights I have as a real estate agent. He was very patient, understanding, intelligent and helpful. He listened to my questions without interruption or judgement and responded with clarity. He was detailed in explaining the laws, codes and my position... as a real estate agent. I am incredibly grateful for his knowledge and guidance and will definitely speak to him again in the future for any of questions regarding real estate law.

Lacks knowledge about law

It's deeply concerning how attorneys like Matthew can remain active for over two decades while having no understanding of the laws. Matthew is the sort of attorney who, most likely, has made his living being arrogant and obsessively stubborn, simply because he at some point, passed the bar. Ther...e is a saying amongst attorneys that 'it's all how you word it'. If you word anything a certain way you will win. So the laws and codes to this sort of attorney do not really matter. An attorney can spend his career with this sort of zealous style and win enough times to make a living. The letter Matthew wrote was contradictory, did not take law into consideration, and was purely meant to be used as a bullying tactic rather than pointing out actual law violations or concerns. It was as if the letter was written by someone other than an actual attorney. Sentences were cut off, etc. It was quickly written without any care or regard to his client, seemingly, so he can make a quick buck.

Rude

I spoke to Matthew today. He was very arrogant. Spoke down to me and thought he was the super intelligent person and I did not recognize his superiority.
