Rude and unprofessional. Didn't introduce himself or shake my hand when I entered. Had no contact information for me to use to obtain what he needed for my case, advised i start with Google. Asked questions I had already supplied answers for. Excessively interrupted my answers. Mocked me for asking his help. Big let-down. To say how far I drove for this waste of my time appointment would endanger my privacy, but let's just say I could have bought a romantic dinner for two with the gas money it took to get there.

I'd used him before and was willing to do so again. My mistake. Someone you exchange an acquaintance occasional Facebook posting with seems to me not the basis of any personal relationship raising conflict-of-interest concerns, but Mr Mann refused to assist this this victim; refusing to even review my matter because, over the course of a few years, he'd exchanged some impersonal Facebook posts with my opposing party. Which might have been a reasonable approach, except..

Like I started this review with, I'd used him before, and wanted to again, he's thorough. He participated in my matters already: drafting and notarizing my papers and actually listing himself therein, though it was not an attorney client relationship. After a few impersonal exchanges on Facebook (over the course of years ), he now "knows" my opponent enough for it to be a conflict of interest to helping me with my legal needs. Never mind that Mann and the other party had almost the EXACT SAME level of contact with that other party before he'd first helped me THAT behavior makes it look less look like you're protecting your ethics.. ..and starts to look like a manufactured problem. Just saying "I don't want to--" or "can't- help you" would have been disappointing but understandable. But it's hard to swallow disingenuous response when compassion and legal support were expected. I did't have the resources or time to start off from scratch with new counsel; I needed someone I'd worked with before who knew the matters a little. To say he can't assist because of conflict of interest, after having already done so under almost identical conditions for the same underlying matter, isn't accurate.

Review for Mann Law Firm, P.C. on 10/05/17 in Real Estate

Worked with him for a real estate transaction and he was an absolute nightmare for all parties. My favorite was when he sent a rude email signing off with his own name mispelled. His firm domain name is also registered to a mispelling of his own name, "Mattew Mann". Dude seems to have serious problems spelling his own name
*It is my opinion that he mispells his name so that people have a hard time finding his suspensions for unethical behavior

I hired Mr. Mann to represent me in purchasing a home..From the very beginning he was condenscending and rude. He took a 3 week vacation without prior notice.. I attempted to fire him a few weeks after he began and he attempted to serve a bill for nearly twice the agreed amount even though he had not completed the job He was caught charging me for things that he had not done...when the deal fell through he illegally refused to return my $2500 deposit in an attempt to force me to pay for services earlier than they were due ..I have filed a formal complaint with the Bar Association. He has been sanctioned several times and was placed on a 2 year suspension for unethical practice (Matter of Mann, 284 AD2d 719 [2001)

They know what they're doing the work with you to get all you can

Matt Mann is an all around great guy. He did a great favor for me at a very important time in my life. Very personable, and reasonably priced. Someone that you can really talk to you and is down to earth. This last point is crucial for me and I believe it to be essential to a good, working, attorney client relationship.
