Many clients report friendly, quick consultations and genuine support keeping their homes. Staff like Sherry earned praise for warmth; consultations run 20 minutes and payment plans are available. However, recent complaints surface real friction: one paralegal (Crystal) was called disrespectful; callers were ghosted and rescheduled at inconvenient times; and several clients felt misled on Chapter 7 eligibility or had deposits kept when they couldn't pay the full fee.
Benjamin Matthews himself handles cases professionally, yet the firm's communication breakdowns stand out. One client paid $2,700, stopped paying debts as advised, waited seven months, then was told Chapter 7 didn't work and pushed into Chapter 13 at $3,100/month-unaffordable and later dismissed. Another lost a $300 deposit after deciding against service. These accounts paint a picture of high variability: some walk away grateful and debt-free years later; others feel scared into paying upfront and left in worse shape.
MGC Real Estate handles closings and title work across the Carolinas with strong reviews on staff responsiveness and legal competence. One reviewer noted delays for first-time home buyers reading through documents carefully, though staff were otherwise efficient and courteous.
Four five-star reviews consistently highlight Barbara Brunson's knowledge across bankruptcy and elder law, and her ability to walk clients through complex processes clearly. Reviewers return her support and thoroughness, though the small review count limits broader claims.
Scott & Corley handles residential real estate closings with attention to detail and client communication. Matt Rupert and Ron Scott are named repeatedly for taking time to explain transactions and ensuring accuracy. One older complaint noted a rude receptionist.
