LAWYERS TITLE OF CINCINNATI

The closing almost did not take place. A correct closing statement was not produced before closing. Proceeds from the sale were assigned to my ex even though the divorce decree clearly showed no proceeds were due to him. When I pointed this out they contacted the reviewing attorney during closing and they still were going to require me to have my ex sign an affidavit saying he did not claim any of the proceeds of the sale. It was not until I demanded to speak to the attorney, Harold (interesting to note the closer did not give his last name when asked nor is Harold listed as a "team member " on Lawyers' Title website' nor are any lawyers identified.) I asked the attorney if he read the clause on page 7 and he stated he had only 1 page of the decree! This, to me was unacceptable. The closing was held up for 2 and a half hours and caused much distress on my part. I would never use them again and would not recommend them.

I purchased a home in Cincinnati in November 2010 and obtained title insurance for the purchase through Lawyers Title of Cincinnati. When I tried to sell the home in May of 2014 I learned that the title issued by Lawyers Title of Cincinnati was not valid and I could not sell the home without getting new title paperwork signed by the people who originally sold the home to me in 2010. I was trying to close escrow within 2 days and when I attempted to get Lawyers Title of Cincinnati to fix their errors, they were largely unresponsive. The previous sellers lived in Florida and at the time were vacationing in Europe for a month. Lawyers Title did little more than send an email to the previous owners. They didn't return my phone calls when I was trying to escalate and get support from them. Nor did they didn't return my emails after the event when i complained. i cannot recommend Lawyers Title. During the entire time that I owned my home in Cincinnati, my title from Lawyers Title of Cincinnati was invalid. They sold me a defective product and did nothing to fix their errors.
