Extremely Disappointing Experience

I hired Matt to write a demand letter for a commercial lease dispute involving serious property issues and financial damages. What I received was delayed communication, bare-minimum effort, and no follow-through.

Consultation was on 1/11.
Agreement signed & Payment sent on 1/21.
After a full month of silence, I requested a refund on 2/21.
He apologized and promised the letter by 2/25.
I stayed hopeful and waited.
The letter I received was nothing more than a copy-paste of emails I had sent him throughout the month. I was stunned.
On 2/27, I sent him a detailed outline of what should’ve been included in his generic letter—then heard nothing again.
On 3/3, I requested a refund for the second time. Still trying to be understanding, I waited. On 3/4, I received a new letter—this one was actually strong and well-written. It gave me hope.
But again, no follow-up. He gave my landlord 10 days to respond, but there was no plan to enforce it or follow up. I had to keep chasing him for answers.
Completely frustrated I asked via email, “What was the point of a letter with a deadline if there’s no plan to act on it?” he replied, “I hope you did not expect a miracle to come from the letter. I have properly served a Demand Letter. Where you go from here is up to you. I am okay if you would like to hire another attorney for your next plan of action." That response was dismissive & unprofessional.

He claimed he was “prepared to sue,” but his actions said otherwise. No real advocacy, no strategy, no effort to engage—just condescending responses when I pushed for results. He required a $3,000 retainer & $300 per hour to sue. Per his contract: “Attorney shall assist Client in legal matters which includes writing a letter to Client's landlord demanding compensation and remedial measures to cure landlord's breach of legal duties owed to Client for the primary purpose of inducing a renegotiation of the lease agreement.”
Helloooo, no renegotiation of my lease occurred. Why would I trust him with $3K when he didn’t even fully execute the first task I paid for?

Honestly, I could’ve had ChatGPT write me a legal letter—for free had I known he was not planning on following through after it was sent.

Not only did Matt waste my time—he weakened my entire position, made me look unprepared in front of my landlord, and likely caused them to not take my legal demands seriously. That kind of negligence damages credibility—and in business, that’s everything.

For context: I pay $8,473/month in rent at this commercial property. This wasn’t a small matter—it was a high-stakes legal issue that deserved real advocacy.

This wasn’t just about a letter—it was my business, my brand, and my livelihood. Matt’s lack of urgency and care made a difficult situation even worse. He has added more burdens to my already stressful situation.

If you’re looking for a dependable attorney who will actually advocate for you, keep looking—Matt is not it.

If you want to dig yourself into a deep problem retain Matthew McMaster. He has been reported to the Georgia Bar for Legal Malpractice. He is a complete disaster and only made my Landlord/Tenant dispute worse. I am a real person and not falsifying any information in this review.

Went above and beyond my expectations, a strident advocate for the forgotten and neglected in today's world. My respect is unlimited for Matt.

Matthew is a very dedicated attorney that listens and truly cares. He won my case against someone with access to unlimited professional legal advice. He is an excellent attorney that I would definitely recommend, thank you Matthew

We are very grateful and would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. He was the best choice for us!

Matthew is a very thorough and competent attorney who always had my best interests in mind. Matthew would not hesitate to tell me when he had to curb our actions based on what would be more beneficial for me as the client. I was always informed when Matthew was my attorney, and I always felt like I was in very good hands. He is very professional, responsive, detail oriented, never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. What I especially liked about Matthew was his ability to remain calm while I was in the middle of a crisis situation.

Matthew became a key part of my life during some very tough times, I owe a debt of gratitude to him for his service. He is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods. I felt honored to have Matthew McMaster as my counsel and I highly recommend him.

Cheers!

He spent time listening like many of the other reviews had noted, but he was very difficult to reach after I had invested in his services. I also felt that he didn't spend any time telling me what I needed to do before hand, even though I did try to prepare. I had hired his services so that I may have assistance with an experience, but it seemed that all he wanted to do was just finish the case ASAP.

This would of been fine if that's what he told me his objectives were, so that I could of at least known that was the agenda. However, since he was difficult to reach and had very poor communication after my payment it was discouraging.

I gave him 3 stars because he did listen but I couldn't give him 5 stars because I felt that he viewed the job as being a low-paying job and therefore didn't want to invest a lot of time into it.

My experience with Mr. McMaster was very positive. He took the time to listen to my situation. He explained how the law applies to it, explained my rights, various possible outcomes and what services he could offer all in a way that was easy for me to understand. If I were to need these types of services in the future, I am confident he would be the right attorney for me.
