Great Advice, Great Service, Great Value

John was referred to us by our financial advisor for guidance with estate planning. Every step of the process was well-organized, purposeful, and expediently completed in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic. John speaks directly and is very knowledgeable and informed. He is a good listener and was respo...nsive to our wishes. Communication was easy. We were very happy with the resulting documents and the fee we were charged.

Private Home Purchase

John was extremely helpful with our home purchase, not only in reviewing and modifying the real estate purchase and sale agreement, but also sorting out an unusal covenant attached to the deed that could have caused major issues. He is very knowledgeable, communicates extremely well and is very resp...onsive to his clients concerns.

Top Notch Lawyer

I came to John McMasters as a referral from a friend of the family, now my accountant. John came highly recommended and can see why. My situation was that I had gone into business with a partner, naive; I'd failed to properly set up the LLC and create any kind of partnership agreements. I was the wor...ker in the field while my partner was the office guy and he was responsible for bidding jobs, billing clients, and paying bills. When I found that he hadn't been paying the bills or taxes, but rather using our money to start side businesses, it was too late because it had been going on for too long behind my back and at that point we were far into the red. John knew right away what had to be done. Despite the fact that I had haphazardly entered into this partnership, John was able to show responsibilities of each of us members of the llc, showing that the misuse of funds that should have been used to pay taxes was executed without my knowledge and showing the steps I attempted to take to make it right as soon as I found out. If it wasn't for John McMasters I fear I would still be trying to get out of debt years later. Instead I've gone on to start a solo business, which is thriving and debt free, I've even been able to buy a home (thanks to today’s low interest rates). I still stay in close contact with Mr. McMasters as he is my business lawyer and from time to time I use his services to ensure that as my business grows I am crossing all my 't's' and dotting all my 'I's'. I highly recommend John McMasters to anyone in need of a Top Notch Lawyer!
