What can I do if my attorney is holding up the closing on my house?
Question Details:
My attorney was trying to double charge me and overcharge me on the title and survey; I asked for documentation to substantiate these charges, which was not provided. Now he will not respond to phone calls, emails from me, my loan officer or my realtor. This is possibly going to hold up my closing next week. What are my options? Should I or even can I hire another lawyer for the closing? He has already been paid the original fee we agreed to up-front.
