Nice enough people, but did not keep their word. I had a 3 pm closing on a Thurs. and I have never been to a closing where the papers had not been recorded and monies were not ready for distribution. That was my first red flag. I told him he could mail me the check because I did not want to pay extra for wiring. I asked Markey when it would go out. He said if he could record them that day it would go out that afternoon, but definitely on Friday. Well, being in the city, there is a one day delivery. However, it did not come in Sat. mail. And late Friday afternoon the people buying had checked for me and it was not in the outgoing mail. So, now I do not expect to get them Monday now. So, Markey simply dropped the ball. I gave them 2 stars because they seemed nice enough, but I would rather they have done what they say they were going to do.

Don't use for your home closing. There was zero communication and I had to call and find out where my HUD document was the day before closing. When I received it there was a glaring mistake that would have cost me $600. When I called to address the issue they didn't take responsibility.

NEVERY EVER use them ever!!!! I just got cussed out and told to Shut Up by Ralph McMillan for dropping off the paperwork he needed to complete a deal. They are very unprofessional. I've dealt with a lot of real estate attorney 's and I've never been spoken this way. Even if we disagreed I was always treated with respect. Ralph McMillan doesn't have respect and I would never use this law firm as long as he is a partner. He tried to argue over the word void, when I asked why he needed a voided contract and he asked "are you an attorney?" By the way Ralph here's what Void means: In law, void means of no legal effect. An action, document or transaction which is void is of no legal effect whatsoever: an absolute nullity -- the law treats it as if it had never existed or happened.

Do not close with this law firm. Incompetent all around.

Cliff Markey and his team did a great job helping us purchase our (hopefully) last home. Their price was very competitive, they answered all of our questions, and were available whenever we needed counsel - responding to ALL of the emailed questions we had regarding a for-sale-by-owner purchase. Several friends of mine have used this firm to purchase their own homes and all recommended John C (Cliff) Markey. I'd be very comfortable recommending them to my friends and family.

I was not satisfied with the quality of service; in fact, they let our home owner\'s insurance lapse during a refinance. The staff was not friendly or helpful. Particularly, when we were made aware of the lapse, we asked them to wire the money to our insurance company, and they refused, stating it was not their policy. Huh? Not your policy...but clearly your MISTAKE. The staff did not adhere to the time schedule. Again, they failed to carefully handle the transition involved in a refinance. Specifically, they forgot to pay our insurance company. Crazy. As for price, they miscalculated closing costs, and we had to pay out-of-pocket on top of the loan, because of their error. Incredulous! With so many mistakes, the attorney should have groveled at our feet and certainly paid the difference of the closing cost error, in the least. Instead, we never even received an apology UNTIL I made it known I, personally, would find the time to review his services. Therefore, I consider this attorney and his staff void of integrity and professionalism at all levels. The whole journey was appalling. Run the other way...
