Lawyers Title

Horrible communication. I felt like an annoyance rather than a client. We have 3 additional properties we are selling and will not be using Lawyers Title again. Maybe there are better escrow officers within the office, but ours was not good.

LOOK ELSEWHERE. Completely dropped the ball with forwarding me the proper contact information from the HOA. Can I sue a company called Lawyers Title Insurance Company?

Horrible, I sold 1 property in 2014 and now selling another, just found out Lawyers title accidentally put someone else on title to one of my properties, now of course I can’t close.
There are hooks on a map, these hooks mean the properties are two parcels moved over to another street. Corner lot property. Lawyers title didn’t know this and stopped escrow.
So I called LA County and they told me that it’s obvious Lawyers title doesn’t know what they are doing, and for me to use another title company. Sure enough, the other Title Didn’t see anything wrong, we closed escrow in 4 days… I would never use this Company again, stopped escrow for 1 month. Mind you, there were 5 employees that told me the same information.

I am writing this review as I have used Lawyers Title for escrow services and also title services multiple times. I have had good experiences with Sarah Latter for escrow and Craig Bratlien for title. They have both been wonderful performing great customer service and exceeding my expectations. Sarah is often very prompt at replying to my emails and also very efficient with her duties as a great escrow officer. Much appreciated!

Lawyers Title has been extremely helpful to me in my business as a real estate agent. My title rep, Brad Brittain has been extremely helpful to me in helping to grow my business. I couldn’t ask for me. It’s a shame their rating is so low, I think the only time a consumer rates their title company is when they are unhappy.

I feel the pain for the other Unilocalers but I dealt will Sara Latter and she was more than professional and extremely efficient, I have nothing but great things to say about Lawyers Title. Escrow was very smooth and closed earlier than expected. Thanks again Sara.

Bottom feeders like these losers give the title company industry a bad name. I got an email from Victoria at this company, congratulating me with my listing with my realtor, and stating that they’re partners of some sort, and that I needed to complete the information she’s requesting in anticipation of my getting a contract! I have a sharp nose for rats like her, and I immediately called my agent to see if this was phishing or if I really had to use their title company. What a liar and loser. I HATE liars and losers. Did I mention that they’re BOTTOM FEEDERS and liars???

Lawyers Title is less than professional.
First Cory Rodrigues is willing to lie in the performance of her duties.
Second lawyers title over charges on a simple closing. $ 745 instead of $ 375 charged by the other title companys in Idaho.
Third they are just not friendly.

I too live in Dallas and this was my 4^th home to purchase, I have never worked with such un organized people. I get things happen and closings do not always go off without some sort of hitch, however this was a non stop cluster of mistakes on their part. I was due to close several times, someone forgot to order the loan payoff even though the seller had given permission a week before my 1^st closing date, it was requested the day of knowing full well it is not a quick process. In the meantime many other things happen false promises and no accountability on their end. I closed in the evening of the 20^th I receive a call at 4:30 the next day saying they needed another check from me they did not collect enough per my loan guidelines, I have 4 different HUD statements and none were correct. The seller was shorted as well, with me paying more and no one seems to be able to tell me what went wrong. By far worst experience, I should have stuck with my usual title company. Never again!

Title companies are never going to have it easy on Unilocal.Because while it’s a service that most people need, few people actually want it. Yes, it sucks that homeowners and homebuyers have to pay to protect against claims (even if the bank is the beneficiary), but that’s how insurance works. It’s a necessary evil.
That said, Working with Lawyers title is a great experience. Dee Dee Burland and the entire Title Unit are extremely professional and helpful .
When I have questions regarding preliminary title reports or client title issues I get a prompt & thorough response upon contacting my title officer.
As a Broker, REALTOR you just hope that the title company blends nicely into the background during a transaction without causing any holdups. That has always been the case.

Awful awful awful… We have to use their service due to the current short sale trans and the seller picks title company. Otherwise, these reviews would have kept us miles away. They clearly outline the issues and headaches we are bearing as we slowly move along our process. Some of the errors are def not justifiable like wrong sellers on docs, addendums lost in their email box instead of going to the right receivers. Communication is at their leisure — they’ll send something when they feel like it — even if the matter is urgent. We’ve been dealing with them for 3 months… and prob another 1 or 2 until our transaction is settled. That is if they don’t make any mistake here on out and discover it after the trans is done.

I was going through my home loan documents today and remembered how AWFUL my escrow experience was!!!
We had Andrea, who clearly was not interested in making sure our transaction went smoothly. We had a direct homeowner purchase. No real estate agents. No bickering. It should have been an easy transaction to complete within 30 days. Our loan company had everything done, the owner had signed all the paperwork… but Andrea couldn’t be bothered to follow through with her obligations (that we paid quite a lot of money for) and we closed late. Which OF COURSE raised all the costs associated with the home and, strangely, increased the escrow fees.
Whenever I called the company with questions or needed to make sure documents were delivered I had to leave a message. Andrea would not call back for at least 48 hours. She told me she was «really busy and sorry» but I do not accept that type of excuse from someone I am employing to do my business. When I complained to her supervisor I was basically brushed off since the transaction was closed.
Be warned, homebuyers! Do not go here!

They made error on paperwork. County fined me for their work. I approached them and they have lawyer-​ed there way out of accountability. I wish I could have this kind of flexible choice of when to be accountable or not. I would search for someone else that will stand behind their work.

Uggghhh, where do I start? My first interaction with Lawyers Title Insurance Co. was when I received documents to begin escrow on my first home — and my LAST NAME was SPELLED INCORRECTLY! I immediately called the agent and she told me to just sign the papers for now because we’d do an amendment after the house closed. Are you kidding me???
This was just the first problem in a long line of mistakes that took several calls/​emails to fix. They charged us $ 866 for homeowners insurance, even though we sent in our policy twice with the correct $ 548 figure. They didn’t credit us with the correct amount from the seller for closing costs, even though it was given to them a few different times. And when we went to sign our final papers, we were rushed out the door because our agent scheduled another appointment at the same time as ours.
Lawyers Title does not make you feel important. They don’t do much work above filling out boiler plate documents and even with that simple task they seem to screw up more often then not. Luckily our real estate agent and loan officer where more than capable of picking up the slack, and we are about to close on our first home!
So, if you have the choice, stay far, far away from Lawyers Title Insurance Company — San Diego.

So, this is actually 5 years after the fact. But it just came back to bite me, so I felt the need to share my horrible experience.
Background, 5 years ago I went through an amicable divorce and bought my spouse out of our home and refinanced. The title was transferred correctly and I am the sole owner. So far so good.
Flash forward to yesterday, I am selling the house and my new title company still has a private loan that was paid off when title was changed and I refinanced attached to the property. Lawyer’s Title never filed the proper paperwork. Mind you, I have copies of the paperwork they had me sign showing the loan was paid off. I have a copy of the settlement summary showing the pay-​off amount being disbursed. Doesn’t matter, they won’t insure it. Therefore I have to go back to the original private lender and have them re-​sign a letter of conveyance. Luckily, the private lender is around and friendly.
Stay away!!!

I wish I had had the kind of experience Sandy had in working with Lawyers Title Company. I never once dealt directly with the Escrow Officer in my transaction. Her assistant, Lori, was pleasant and very sweet to deal with, but there were many mistakes made. I wanted to use my own notary to save myself $ 150, but was told I had to use theirs. My loan required an impound account — the insurance company was not told this and the documents indicated that no impound was required. I just felt that there was a lack of communication in their office amongst themselves.
