Mathew Lee May

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 He would draft old outdated information that was no longer relevant because he wasn't paying attention to detail.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.

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.

Mr May and I have had more than a couple of detailed consults over a period of a few months (same case matter) and his knowledge of my case subject was far reaching, knowledgeable and his call backs respected my need for more helpful info and my need for promptness ! I really don't know what I would... have done without his help and the services offered by Legal Shield/Parker Stanbury et al in Los Angeles. I really can't thank them all enough for the many times I have needed true and incisive legal assistance. I recommend this firm to family and friends on a regular basis! I give them a thumbs up and 5 stars.

UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED AND PROVIDED ABSOLUTELY POOR SERVICES: I've been a member of the association with which Mathew L. May is employed for over 14 years. This is the FIRST time I've ever felt SADLY disappointed, even insulted, by an attorney's lack of communication and customer service abilities f...or a customer. My benefits package provides me with legal letters when requested and he actually stated, quote: "I need to tell you now that you're going to be disappointed by the letter I'm going to write for you..." He wasn't even aware of the important dates in which my case involved (ie, he didn't really read the many documents I'd provided him). This was after I'd WAITED FOR 2 MONTHS for this letter..." He almost always interrupted me with short comments revealed by his short and rude mannerisms. What a major disappointment...

Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of being assigned to Mr. May who was very curt on the phone and provided incorrect information and quoted wrong California code when I requested him for the section of California code that applied in this instance. He did not want to hear anything and seemed to want ...to brush off everything I had to say. He pretty much told me that there was nothing that we could do. He claims to know real estate law and could not answer a basic question. Please do not waste your time or money talking to this "Attorney"
