Newman & Lawler: Lawler Jr James F 200 Bailey Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76107

"I asked very specific questions and was outright lied to. I sold 3 lots of land to an individual and Teresa never filed the paperwork. Now I am STILL being taxed on property that I do not own. When I reached out to find out why I still had a bill coming and it says the land is still in my name, Teresa said she has nothing to do with it and to call the tax office. Come to find out she didnt file the correct forms and now I am in a mess. FYI---you dont need a lawyer to transfer land out of your name. All theyre doing is creating the deed."

"Selling a house to a gentleman who I had lease purchase agreement with. After dealing with Teresa Mathis for many months - this was a fairly complicated transaction, but none the less, she was supposed to have been an expert in it. I had already contacted the Housing and Manufactured home department in Austin, had filled out paperwork to put the land and home as one piece of property. I was recommended this firm by a real estate attorney in Lake Worth. I paid all of the closing costs and then she said she "overlooked" that payment. Each time I called her for an updated status, she was not in the office. Fast forward to 2022, she said she needed to talk to the future purchaser about HOA transfer and insurance. This was back in early April. She did not tell me she had not received a call back from him, so I called her as well as him in April and never heard back. I then called her again in mid May and she was driving and couldn't talk. I asked her if she had ever spoken with the gentleman. She said no, he never called back. I then called him again and left a message that Teresa was trying to contact him back in April and again in mid May. I told her this had been going on for sometime, so what is the issue now. She told me she needed to know if there were any transfer fees associated with the HOA as well as the 2021 taxes. I could have easily called the HOA and told her what the taxes were, but she said she needed to speak with the gentleman. I then called HOA as well as the tax office. The gentleman had paid the HOA dues, and the 2021 taxes. The HOA was still in my name so I was told to contact a Beth to get it taken out of my name and put into the gentleman's name. I sent her the Warranty Deed from Tarrant County and then she mentioned the gentleman may have died. I finally got in contact with his Son through multiple searches as well as spoke with his probate attorney who was going to handle it from here. I have YET to hear back from Teresa. Do not use this company. They are feet draggers and do not follow up, call you back and I believe she only works one day a week. Horrible Title company to deal with. I am hoping the families probate attorney can get all this straightened out."

"We used this lawyer to close on a sale for a house we sold. We had an issue with the paralegal Debbie House during two closings. I mentioned this concern to their office and was told that I would have to get legal counsel from another attorney from now on. I would not recommend their services. This happened on two lien notes."

"Incredibly rude stuff (particularly Dianna). They are very unprofessional and awful to deal with."

"I onky had one basic deed transfer done, but afterwards they were generous enough to answer questions and talk me through two separate complications. I really appreciated their time and helpful attitude. I would highly recommend them will certainly return to Newman & Lawler for any future real estate legal matters."
