2 /5 Sydney Mooney: I want to be transparent regarding my experience with this law firm. I am giving a completely honest review for those considering utilizing them for specifically the sale of your home.
I worked with Diane who was very friendly and helpful. However, I was asked to do some of my own research, which I am aware is not the norm. I was asked to locate my abstract from when I purchased the home, find out who the abstract company was, and figure out who the lawyer for the seller of the home was when we purchased it. Luckily, I had the contact information of my attorney from the purchase of the home, as well as the contact information of the seller, and was able to locate these items. For anyone utilizing services from this firm, please know that you do not have to complete these tasks. That is what they are hired to do on your behalf.
I also became extremely concerned when I was told that my home loan had been paid, and I contacted my lender who told me that they had no record of payment and did not see anything pending. For two days, this was the case, after the firm told me that payment had been sent. I was a nervous wreck until I found out that payment had gone through. Additionally, I was unfortunately not informed by the law firm that I needed to update my address with my lender in order to receive the remaining escrow check. Luckily, this came up in conversation with the lender when I was checking on the status of my loan payment. Otherwise, my escrow check would have gone to the address of the home that had already been sold to someone else.
I am not going to say that my experience with this firm was horrible or even bad. There were many good parts but overall, I would not recommend them to other clients for the specific purpose of managing the legal aspects of your home sale, as you may be asked to take on some of the responsibilities that you are paying someone else to take care of for you.
