Marcellino & Tyson, Pllc

Lost what I was told was an easy case. The judge laughed at us. Was billed for very unnecessary work that they did - the assistant said "I can only use communication from these certain dates" but she spent hours and hours on communication from other dates. They are nice people but nice doesn't win.

For the past ten years, I have worked with Bryan Tyson both individually and through my business on employment, employee benefits, and business matters, including several litigation matters (employment contracts and worker's comp). Bryan has a very thorough knowledge of the subject matter, and he was always very responsive and sensitive to time issues. On more than one occasion, I have brought him a last-minute emergency issue (employment issues often are!), and he was always accommodating and able to meet my time frame. Bryan was also great at helping me understand the legal process, and I really appreciated his straightforward approach - he went out of his way to explain things in plain language and help me find practical solutions to complex legal issues. Both he and his firm are my "go-to" people whenever we need legal help. I highly recommend them!

We have worked with Marcellino & Tyson, and specifically with partner Bryan Tyson, on employment, business, and employee benefit matters, including many that were time-sensitive and that required very delicate handling. We appreciate Bryan's and the firm's responsiveness, as well as their practical approach to legal issues. If you're in need of attorneys for business, employment, or employee benefits litigation, we recommend giving them a call. Eric

I was referred to Marcellino & Tyson by another law firm on a matter regarding my former employer. I paid the consultation fee and was shown to a conference room where I was kept waiting for over 30 minutes past our scheduled time to meet. I was finally greeted by two attorneys as I was preparing to leave. I provided them an overview of my situation and expressed a desire to seek a legal remedy. The senior attorney, Bryan Tyson, asked for internal documents which would be key in determining next steps. nnI subsequently provided the documents and heard nothing from him for six weeks. I sent him a follow up email re-stating my desire to move forward and two weeks after the fact...radio silence. Completely unprofessional. nnA telling exchange during our meeting is indicative of the lack of depth and experience of Mr. Tyson on matters outside of the most basic employment law cases. I researched case law pertaining to my situation and he told me I was up to speed on this matter as it relates to the NC courts and actually began asking me how I thought we should proceed which was shocking to me. I don't have a law degree and he holds himself out to be an employment lawyer. nnBased on my experience, I strongly recommend anybody seeking professional guidance based on a thorough examination of all aspects of your situation to seek counsel elsewhere. Integrity and doing what you say you are going to do matters in business and certainly as it relates to sensitive legal issues. I wasted three months as a result of a lack of basic professionalism. In a situation where time matters, you can ill-afford to do the same.

Matthew Marcellino provided legal advice during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable, and honest. While working with Matthew, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your unique needs at the forefront.
